Happy mid December, everyone! It's less than two weeks until Christmas so I've been watching more holiday-themed movies than usual… naturally.

Music Break: ABBA’s songs in Mamma Mia!

Happy midweek everyone! It's kind of a sleepy Wednesday even though just exactly a week ago I was extremely busy casting for my upcoming short film project, Master Servant.

Music Break: Favorite songs from Garry Marshall’s classic ‘Pretty Woman’

I was still in high school when Pretty Woman came out and it was a pretty huge hit back then.

Music Break: Hunky Dory (2011) featuring Minnie Driver & Aneurin Barnard

I have to admit I stumbled upon this movie as I'm currently besotted with this freakishly talented Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard.
