are four movies leaving Netflix on July 1st (and one I want to rewatch but don’t have the time to). Unfortunately‚ I only have the time to see three of these films. “Witness” is one of the two films that beat out 1992s “A League of Their Own” as a movie I would watch. “Witness‚” on the other hand‚ wouldn’t have sparked my interest save for its recommendations by Adam Kempenaar on several top 5’s on Filmspotting.

KAPPA’S FOREVER? In the movie Sydney White‚ the most important thing that I have learned is to be able to stand up for others; to fight for what is right‚ and to learn how to not live in the shadows of others.
