the sun will comeout tomorrow

Advantages: great songs great acting great films
Disadvantages: none

In this life one thing counts in the bank large amounts I'm afraid these don't grow on trees you've got to pick a pocket or two? Sorry, I got carried away, ever since I thought about writing this review I have not been able to get that song out of my head. This is a review of my two all time favourite films, Oliver and Annie.
