Zombieland Proverbs Part 1  – Rule #32 “Enjoy The Little Things”

This is probably not the most edifying movie to watch but I have to admit that I did watch it and I did enjoy it. I probably won’t be recommending this movie to everyone, but it was definitely one of the funnier comedies I’ve seen in awhile. The movie follows a young man nicknamed “Columbus” [...]
