True story, kids: I used to watch a lot more movies than I do today, and a great deal more of them were foreign as opposed to U.S. releases.
Time changes things, and many of the relationships I had, say, ten to fifteen years ago were built on the back of my Amazon.com profile. I was one of those Top 1,000 Reviewers -- an extremely difficult opportunity to reach -- so I had a line of companies offering me products on a daily basis. I wasn't flooded with stuff the way many were because I did take a discriminating approach to what I'd review, what I had to say about it, etc., but it was still an incredible amount of items I'd have to go through on a weekly basis. Today -- since I'm pretty much aligned exclusively here (after Amazon.com used and abused us for so many years only to unceremoniously dump us when they realized it was too expensive to maintain their chokehold on the consumer marketplace) -- so I do limit the wares even further, sticking mainly to Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror related items. Sure, every now and then I'll do something a bit different -- mostly because, simply put, I can as the editor-in-chief -- but I do prefer "keeping it real" with a narrow focus on quality genre properties for most of my time shucking words.
But there was a time when a little something something like Spiritwalker -- a forthcoming release from the reliable Well Go USA Entertainment -- was all the rage. I've got one coming -- meaning you'll have a review in store for you very soon -- so I wanted to ramp up the coverage (as they say in the industry) by posting a link and some general information regarding the company's release. The trailer will be below; following that you'll have the publicity info from Well Go USA. Watch the coming attraction. Read the info. This looks like it could be great stuff.
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
