Cover of Ghostwritten [Purchase Book] After reading David Mitchell‘s Cloud Atlas, I knew that I had to read his other books. So, I went back to the beginning. (Honestly, I don’t think I planned it that way, it was just the next…
Cover via Amazon [Purchase DVD] Seijun Suzuki is a master director. You’ve probably seen Branded to Kill in the rotator to the side — and trust me, that’s earned. It’s an outstanding film, and my favorite of all of his (at least…
