Rick Nicita Gallery & Cinema Archives
NiceTaSeeya Nicita, if Only for a Minute Middletown (Google Maps location) February 20, 2016 How many words can I possibly write about this tiny little place? Movies. Film. Cinema.

Book Review: One of Windsor
Left Me Hanging a Bit One of Windsor, Beth M. Caruso (2015) I dunno... I'm just not a big fan of "historical fiction" I guess.
