Film Review – Django Unchained
Among other accolades, Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained recently won two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay.

I was a football superstar!
Always fun when you can find your name in history. Apparently I started 131 matches for Everton FC in the 1920s. Didn’t score once, but you know, it’s not about the glory.
