Every once in a while I stumble upon an overlooked gem. It is films like The Village Barbershop that I enjoy reviewing the most. It gives me an opportunity to share my enjoyment of a film that most people

Kruje, Albania, is nestled in the mountains outside of the capital city of Tirana. It is a quaint town that has become a tourist attraction. Artisans and gift shops line the cobblestone pedestrian zone

Rory O'Shea is a warm story about overcoming challenges. It is interesting to note that one of the lead actors, Steven Robertson, is no stranger to beating the odds. The talented actor battled with severe

I wasn't sure what to expect with the new Shazam movie. It was nostalgic. The trailers brought me back to Saturday mornings a few decades back. But it also looked like it had potential to be really bad.

Unplanned is the latest "faith-based" film to hit my local theaters. It is also the most controversial in recent memory. I always take a few minutes to peruse the reviews at IMDb to see how they

Whiteout is another average film in a string of average films I have seen lately. In spite of the fact that Whiteout was the recipient of very average reviews, it is a film that appealed to me on some

My journey is coming to an end. I fly back to the United States today. One final photo to share. This is the view of the lake from Bled Castle. I hope to post more in depth about my travels in the coming

Our latest stop was Plitvice National Park in Croatia. A beautiful UNESCO world heritage site. We walked seven miles through the winding plank board walkways through the park, which consists of sixteen

Split, Croatia is home to more filming locations for Game of Thrones. The basement of the palace is where Khalesi’s throne room was filmed. This is what it looks like without the stairs, which were added

Dubrovnik is the filming location for Game of Thrones as well as Star Wars VIII. I snapped this photo of the location that was used as The Red Keep in Game of Thrones. This photo was taken with an iPhone

I arrived in Dubrovnik yesterday. I had time to take a quick visit to the old city where Game of Thrones is filmed. I had back this morning for a walking tour. The old city feels like you stepped back
