Over the next six days KRL is going to review the 10 Oscar nominated movies--one a day. Yes I know that doesn't add up to 10, however we have already reviewed four of them and we will be re-posting those here as well!

Instead of a brand new post for each movie--we will be adding a new movie to this post every night so be sure and come back right here every evening to see what we've added.

The young women don their matching long skirts and jackets, put on their bonnets, and thrust their cold hands into hand muffs for warmth.

An amazing and multitalented artist has devoted his life to bringing change to the hearts of the California Central Valley and well beyond.
