"Hey Dr. Gor, I'm glad you're here! As a devoted fan of classic romances and silver screen sirens, I don't usually see much action in the horror department. But I'm here to learn & discover (as well as to share and offer what I know and love). I'll be looking to you for guidance in this genre, so keep the input coming!Blessings all,SDR " [More]

It had left out the most essential component to any good film: an effing plot. " [More]
