Expand Too much character back story. I watched it all but ff’d through the boring back story parts. a solid 2 meh’s. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) My wife and I are getting back into 'Little Mosque on the Prairie'. If you are from the Great White North, or close to it, you should recognize it as the award (?) winning CBC (read Canadian Production) series. It is great and really plays on both Muslim and Red Neck stereotypes, but in a very funny way. So far as I know it is only available (comercial free) on YouTube. Each episode by season. Edited January 9, 2019 by New Scotland (NS) the only thing worse than my math is my typing ... Quote

Samson's Flow Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 Anyone watch Escape at Dennemorra?

TrueBlueGED Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 I thought Solo was a ton of fun. I think it's my favorite of the new movies. Speaking of fun movies, I really liked Aquaman. DC's best effort this side of Wonder Woman. 1 Quote
