Schnitzel With Noodles

Hello, all, and welcome to the Movie Zombie's first entry here on our new home at Schitznel with Noodles! Since 2008, my original blog  has presented my picks for the ten best films of each year, with an occasional foray, when the movies are bad enough to call for it, into the worst pictures of the year as well.

Fun fact: Bicycles and waltz choreography do not mix as smoothly as one might expect. Additional fun fact: There are few experiences to match the awkwardness of starring in The Sound of Music  and being the only Gentile cast as a Nazi. No, this blog
