I walk through life sometimes thinking "I have seen every fun splatter comedy that have ever existed. There is nothing left for me to see for I have seen it all" A wise man once said "You're an idiot. There's always something out there waiting to surprise you."...
by Chloe Brett The very brief lookup I did of Warwick Thornton’s film “Samson and Delilah” had me thinking I was in for a love story of the romantic variety, especially since the poster has “true love” literally written right under the title. Well I was wrong, oh so...
