The Man From Earth

Not having a TV, we sometime spend our weekend evenings with movie watching on our gigantic 13 inch laptop screen.  Not exactly a cinema-style, but it does the job.  We are constantly searching for movies that are interesting and entertaining, but without the violence and crude jokes that so many of today’s movies rely on [...]
