Several new movies are coming to theaters this weekend, including Companion, Dog Man, and one of the nominees for the Best Picture Oscar, I’m Still Here.
Not to Shabby Mark,
The only thing that reduced cinema
reality was, you were knocked out three times…also the plane being recovered from a backward dive as a pilot myself seemed a wee far-fetched. Plus the color of the neck and shirt blood needs a wee more tint to it. Besides these little minor frailties Mark, I think you pulled off the bad-guy role pretty well.
Good job dude,
If you ever come up to Montreal, drop me a line and I will show you the real
Montreal.
