It’s like an infinite loop. READ MORE

Lil’ D Calls Bale’s ‘Machinist’ ‘”Immaculate”
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is Christian Bale and Jennifer Jason Leigh’s The Machinist, which is still awaited a US release date. The film premiered tonight at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, and my lil brother was there to witness the film in all of its glory.
