The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I love tv series, so welcome new suggestions. Especially if has a sci fi, fantasy, strange or occult flavor. However, it just occured to me that the calibre of men in these shows are always a bit weird eh? I mean if we had to fall for men like that in real life, our parents […]
I am always keen to watch movies that depict the effects of dementia and its impact. More so when it is an artist who suffers from the disease. This is my Saturday night movie.
