This Is It.
28, Oct 2009After much anticipation, the day finally came for the This Is It premiere. First off: The film starts off with a “disclaimer” of sorts: “For the fans…” This is very true.

This Is It?

Eat You Up
2, Apr 2009It’s the archetypal American dream — the thrill of going to America and finding success of great magnitude. Or is it? History seems to say otherwise.
