Dave's Blog About Movies and Such —
Ever since non-family members started reading my blog, I have received emails from random people asking me to check out their independent movies and such. Although I eagerly snatch up any freebies that happen my way, I tend not to write about a lot of the stuff I see (goddamn, I'm an ungrateful prick). I decide not to write about most of this stuff based on the fact that I simply do not care for the movies in question. I figure that an honest review would be, well, dickish.

Also, above it part two, which showcases the rogue's gallery in silent movie-style, which I though was neater—if you want more Bat-oriented action, make sure to check out part one here.
