She sure she’d leave him when her savings ran out but in the meantime gravitated into the orbit (not [...]
A helicopter shot of an avalanche nearly engulfing a boarder will almost
certainly be more impressive than any special effect you’ll see during the
holiday season — and keep in mind that “King Kong” comes out in 12 days.
