2007-12-09 12:01:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema

2008-05-02 00:00:00 by Erik Davis in Cinematical
 
Filed under: Comedy , Drama , Fandom , DIY/Filmmaking Here's a question that's come up more than a few times this week, and one I feel is pretty easy to answer: Is a film automatically better when you can relate to it?
