My New Blog

Hello, dear readers! I wrote this post because I have a special announcement for all of you.

The main reasons why I decided to go solo were the need to make a change after […]

This second film tag is based on a post going around on Facebook and brought to our accounts by Devika. Unlike the other one, this one focused on film posters.
