Thanks for the rave review, Terrill! My goodness! I wish you
worked for the L.A. Times. (She loved the performances but
used her first three paragraphs to complain about what a
rotten play LION IN WINTER is. LION IN WINTER!!!)
Unfortunately, I nodded off at the wheel as far as the
Bezzerides documentary. Forgot all about it. I really wanted
to catch it. Was it worth the nickel?
