Right off I can't think of a film that works. Of the suggested titles you shared, we have watched "Overboard" and "Secondhand Lions". I'm sorry for the belated visit. I'm trying to figure out a system for A2Zing this time. I might have something I can go with now to stay on track. *cross fingers*<br /><br />If you haven’t already, I invite you to check out my Looney Tunes <a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/bugs-bunny/" rel="nofollow">Bugs Bunny</a> Art Sketch.

It being awards season, I've been watching some nominated films, and the one that comes to mind is "The Life Ahead." Sophia Loren stars as a woman who takes in a Senegalese orphan named Momo. He really wants to fit in and belong, and we see the various directions he could go to find that place for himself. Good film.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779183231776072253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220008586703373188.post-57041373718460155152021-04-03T16:07:36.319-07:002021-04-03T16:07:36.319-07:00I really enjoyed Race.
