How'd You Like a Good Smack(down)?

While I'm off roaming the floor of the ever-more crowded San Diego Comic-Con and doing a signing session for Arts Alliance America as they release "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" on DVD...

Let me invite you to visit our companion site, "Movie Smackdown!" -- Two Films, One Review, No Holds Barred. Here are the links to almost all of the cage fights currently on the site.

And don't muzzle yourself like Mr. Lecter -- please leave your own comments for our critics to respond to because, much as we hate to admit it, we're not always right...
