Film Review Podcasts

July 23rd, 2007 · 4 Comments

They started by researching the latest films on the BBC Film Review Archive. They then shared their ideas on the films they liked by contributing comments to posts on notreblog.
Adventure Reviews| Animation Reviews| Comedy Reviews | Fantasy/Sci-Fi Reviews
