By Chvad SB, on April 8th, 2013 How much (or how little) does it take to push you to the extremes of who you are? How many unknown places within yourself still exist?

By Chvad SB, on January 12th, 2013 Well I have just finished watching Gut. My new years resolution was to get more up to date with my blog. Gut is an American thriller that has almost an art house feel to it.
Jason Vail stars as Tom; an everyday American man with a wife and child and a normal 9 to 5 […]
