Review: The Little Things

Busted!! I went to see the movie “The Little Things” 100% as a salute to uber actor Denzel Washington. He has provided me decades of big screen entertainment and he absolutely deserves that I blindly by a ticket to anything he does.

Once I settled in my seat (3 people including me in the entire theatre) I thought to myself, always worrying about the future of theaters, is he the highest profile actor to return to the big screen since they reopened? - I think the answer is yes.

It took me a while to try to remember when I first saw his work focusing on movies when it dawned on me “dummy” that he rocked some Dr. role in a TV Fav of mine…”St. Elsewhere”.. What a career.
