Straight Talk movie
Now Straight Talk is a movie with Dolly Parton that has some meat to it. It’s not quite the wonder that Nine to Five is, but Straight Talk is a good movie that has some real story to it.
Shirlee Kenyon (Parton) maneuvers her way into a radio job, …
Little Children (R, 2006) movie

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, An Animated Movie

Mid-life soft …
