Hello Dean,

Yes, it has been awhile, and I hope to be doing much more professionally-crafted, more polished reviews like this one above for you guys and gals to enjoy in the future. Thank you for reading and responding in kind; as for where I have been, well, it has been a bit of a turmoil-packed couple of years for me. Was in a serious relationship that may have been leading to an engagement, but she broke up with me and I discovered (as I had my suspicions) that another man was involved. This broke my heart tremendously, and I was having a hard time dealing with it, so I recently relocated to around the Las Vegas area where my parents live (Henderson, Nevada, actually) from New York to attempt to "start over" and I have been here trying to do just that. I am still writing DVD reviews for Home Theater and DVD ETC magazines occasionally, and now would like to add these more polished, in-depth ones for you guys on a more serious level.

The equipment list you see in my signature is a system I am running from my family's home here, which I calibrated and set up, and thats the system I'll be basing my reviews on. It is a "temporary" setup until I can unpack my own home theater which is in storage right now until I get my own place out here in Nevada, although most of the gear is the same --- Onkyo receiver, Polk speakers, Panasonic DVD player, etc. That is why, also, in the signature, it says "In Ceiling Surrounds Unidentified" because this house my parents bought out here had a surround system in this MASSIVE media room pre-wired already with surround speakers up in the nine foot cathedral ceilings, and I have not been able to identify what brand or type they are, as they are way up there in the ceiling behind mesh grilles, so the only part of the system I CAN identify is the front soundstage. I appreciate your reply, and hope to get back into some good graces with you and other friends in here as I re-establish myself as the site's "unofficial" DVD reviewer! I hope you at least enjoyed reading the review, even if you have already seen the film, and please let me know if there is anything you suggest to make the reviews more informative or if you have any suggestions for me, etc. If you do not feel these reviews belong in the FAVORITE FILMS forum, please tell me where I should re-direct them.

Thanks again, and thank you for taking the time to inquire as to where I have been and such!

Sincerely,
Lexmark
