Valley of the Dolls at Movieland

“> The ol’ Rocky Horror graces us again (I guess) with its presence. And then, for Movies and Mimosas we’ve got Valley of the Dolls. The only thing I know about Valley of the Dolls is: drugs and Sharon Tate. So in lieu of my thoughts,…

The King’s Speech: Do it, Bertie!

With about a trillion Golden Globe nominations and a Best Actor for Colin Firth already under its belt, what IS it about the story of a royal speech impediment that has us all feeling so many dang emotions?
