Upon arriving at the hotel, Dr. Harris realizes his briefcase is not with the rest of the luggage and leaves his wife to check in, while he grabs a cab back to the airport. The cab gets into an accident while heading to the airport and Dr.…

Looking for “Likes” on Facebook
Yes, I know everybody is looking for facebook likes as if it paid actual money or something. It’s kinda like flashing your boobs in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for beads. I do post some various and sundry film and food fodder on my facebook fanpage that doesn’t appear here on the blog. I’m at 66 fans now, would love to make that 100 before the end of the month. By the way, reminder: Guest Bloggers are Welcome – Looking for any recent film festival experiences and dinner and a movie write ups.
