Movie Review – Run the Race – Faith-Based but Sad
—
As is my usual, I’ll address the target audience first. Run the Race has all the ingredients needed for a faith-based movie — a loss of faith, a terrible tragedy, hope, and renewal.

Russian Doll Theme Song – Gotta Get Up Video & Lyrics (Netflix Does Groundhog Day)
Have you binged the new Netflix show Russian Doll? Season One is only eight episodes (a half hour each) long, and I snapped them up like candy all on one night. What makes that even better was I watched it on February 2, that oddball American holiday known as Groundhog Day. Used to be that…

Movie Review – They Shall Not Grow Old
