Movie Review – The Courier

Whenever I do Peetimes my husband requests I call and let him know I’ve made it home safely. (He’s a truck driver out on the road.) I started my call with, “You better thank Oleg Penkovsky for even being alive.” He didn’t know what I was talking about. Of course neither did I, two hours…

Movie Review – Misbehaviour
—
Misbehaviour joins the growing list of films I remember actually happening in real life! This took me back to England in the 70s.

Movie review from a history teacher – 1917
—
As a History teacher, Historical reenactor and writer, I have VERY high standards for movies that claim to be historical or even based on actual events.
