-Could be interesting, especially considering the writer...thoughts?

ReplyDeletehe's always fun to watch
ReplyDeletewaiting for Salt
ReplyDeletesame on Salt
ReplyDeleteMeh. I find it very difficult to watch SLJ. There's just something about him that I find hard to watch, perhaps the voice? Or maybe it's just the characters? I absolutely hated the role he had in Jumper. I could not make myself watch, from the trailer alone, Lakeview Terrace.
