I started this site at the beginning of the year to share my thoughts on film. Cinema. The flicks! To celebrate my passion for life in light and sound. Over the past month it has ground to a halt as I pontificated over the longest piece I have ever written for [...] The teaser trailer left me a little on the fence. Sure, the visuals were great but something about it did not gel. Well, the latest trailer, all three and a half minutes of it, is now online. And it is a doozy! Check it out in HD at Yahoo.
