All of The Review Broads have ONE thing that binds us together. No - it's not family (although Broad Z & Bro' B are related) No - it's not friendship (although Broad A & Broad Z are besties) No - it' not our love of books (that's Broad A) No - it's not the NEED to review everything that comes our way - REALLY?

DVD Reviews: Beasts of the Southern Wild
Beasts of the Southern Wild I saw this film at its first ever screening this past January at Sundance. I had no what it was about; it was the only film I did not do any research before hand on.
