Entertainment:
So I just heard about bitch slap, and I totally want to see this movie. Here is the trailer:
I know some of you may think oh great a b-action movie but I love action films and how can I not get excited about an action film that involves a girl/girl “love” scene. I can’t wait.
Yes this entry is a little short, I’m just getting the feel out of it, I think I need a better title. But I'll try to keep you posted on things that we can see, hear, or should know if we are in Iowa.
