In fact, if you go through my site, you'll find loads of American films (including the mainstream ones & old classics) reviewed in it. Only that I don't watch anything & everything thrown at us by Holly anymore - I've become quite selective at that.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-33370253269137976152014-04-27T05:48:52.736+05:302014-04-27T05:48:52.736+05:30I didn`t realise that you actually do genuinely li...I didn`t realise that you actually do genuinely like Hollywood blockbusters my old mate, its just that some sites are totally contemptuous of the Hollywood product, "Strickly Film School" for instance, they wouldn`t reveiw a Michael Bay movie if their lives depended on it ! ! !.teddy crescendonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-38823554969796958862014-04-25T14:15:32.846+05:302014-04-25T14:15:32.846+05:30Whoever said that a film can be good only if its &...Whoever said that a film can be good only if its "highbrow" & "elitist"?
