Except Willow. Willow is the bomb.
Backdraft! Backdraft is cheesy, Kurt Russell-starring, Chicago-is-awesome-on-film fun!
Kurt Russell is kewl but I just can’t really get into that flick. It’s ooookay I guess.
In his defense: He produced and narrated Arrested Development. Acted in American Graffiti. Directed Night Shift, Splash, Cocoon,...
