COLUMN: New review platform for "Every Movie Has a Lesson"

I wanted to formally update my followers and readers of a cool new platform and opportunity for both you and this website.  This past fall, I was approached by the one of the co-founders of the young website BAG Movies to add a professional profile to their community site.  Founded in February 2015, BAG aims to be "one-stop shopping" for finding, watching, and sharing movies and TV shows.  It can become your new place to talk and listen to your friends about what you're loving (and hating) in entertainment.
