Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
My wife and I watched The Deer Hunter last night. Neither of us had seen it, though it’s been on my to-see list for a long, long time. There were several things that struck me as I watched this 1978 Academy Award-winner for best picture. Your comments on the following are welcome. Religion played a…

Except for the fact it doesn’t transfer well to any kind of print source. It’s just too dark and too detailed. So, since my oldest…
If you didn’t already know it, I’m a big fan of Jim Steinman. The man is just brilliant. And he’s a snazzy dresser.
