COME UNDER MY SPELL (dir: Carlos Tobalina, 1979) “The film that will bring you up to a joy you’re paying for!” The film opens up in hip and swinging San Fransisco and instantly we are introduced to some heavy student action.

We are a couple of weeks removed, now, from WrestleMania, and we are heading towards WWE’s next PPV, Extreme Rules.

“They love the lobby, but the emptiness is a problem.” Mad Men very nearly pipes in a cymbal crash after Don’s real estate broker delivers her withering assessment of his empty penthouse.

It’s a light, sit-com-esque premise that leads into an earnest look at what growing up can take from […]
