Everybody’s Chattin’ and Music Break featuring THE GUEST Soundtrack

It's already three weeks into January and I just realize I haven't done a Community Links nor a Music Break post. So why not combine the two again, right? Having just seen The Guest, I knew I had to do a post on the awesome 80s retro soundtrack! I really enjoyed the movie too, review …

So …

Music Break: Five great songs/theme from Richard Curtis’ films

I haven't done a Music Break post in a while but today I might as well hit two birds with one stone to highlight Richard Curtis. Today the British writer/director turns 57 and his time-travel rom-com About Time starring Domhnall Gleeson & Rachel McAdams opens today in the US as well, so I thought why …
