Review of Catfish (2010) by Lindsay D — 14 Nov 2011

It was really a lot better than I thought it would be. Not action packed, not full of hot bodies and sex scenes. Just a real guy, falling for a girl he met on the web. The suspense, I felt, was SO intense! I really wanted to know what was going to happen! Literally on the edge of my seat.
