Hello all, as the quote above insinuates this week I have decided to switch things up and give a couple of reviews of television shows instead of films. As a viewer, my interest in television shows is on almost the same level as my love for film since it continues the story over longer periods…
Here goes another year and another award ceremony that doesn’t reflect ANYONE’S taste in music. Actually, I’m certain there is only one person out there who guesses all the correct winners, and that person is the guy/girl who CHOSE the winners.
