What do you mean Harvey Keitel is in a movie about singing nuns? February 7, 2009

Well strictly speaking, this should be held over until Wendy’s next week of TV, but it’s my blog so, hey, I’ll make the rules up as I go along.Sister Act won out over Billy Elliot for last night’s TV viewing. As I was watching I realised I had seen Sister Act 2 a number of […]
