Black Friday Film Fiesta

I was trying to think of a gimmick for this week's Fiesta and couldn't think of anything not related to Thanksgiving. So I checked the archives to see what I did last year, and it turns out I skipped a Fiesta that week. IN fact, I believe this is the first Black Friday Film Fiesta in HISTORY!


Since the name "Black Friday Film Fiesta sounds really bad, let's see what the new Queens of the Fiesta are up to.


True dat, spoons are chock full of spoony goodness!

Last week I asked you if you would miss Angelina Jolie appearing in movies after she announced her retirement last week, and you answered she'll be back.
