REVIEW:

I was in the middle of doing some pushing buttons work on the computer and I wanted to watch something while doing it to pass the time. So I flipped through the channels and saw that The River Wild was about to begin. I am always a fan of Meryl Streep because I love to analyze her body of work and the choices she makes. Yes, Streep will go down as one of the great actors of all-time, as she is an outstanding actor, but she also understands that it’s all about the films…
