I've taken over 12 years of Spanish in the American education system and can barely speak a word. I understand and can say very basic things.

I noticed this game so I decided to pick it up.The game works best with a pair of headphones so you can hear pronunciation clearly. You're ...

Without giving away the story, I can say that you will be lulled into thinking one thing is going on, and then the wool be pulled away and you will see the truth. This is a quiet, low-key movie that is rated PG. The PG rating means that I can watch it with my whole family. Even the kids like it because it is a mystery, and they love tr...
