Or are you supposed to try and download some cool new songs and risk wasting space for things you end up hating? It's a lot to think about that kids today just will never know.

The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

By Jon
The modern retelling of the famous murder trials of 1924 showcases the scandal and corruption of Chicago during the Jazz age when everything was cast under a limelight.
