Hello,
My friend at The Silver Screen Savant nominated me for the prestigious Liebter Awards! Well, as with all of these awards, they served as a great opportunity to get to know people around the blogosphere and introduce blogs to new audiences. Thank you for this great and fun opportunity!!!
I hope that the few dozen friends that visit me take the opportunity to visit his blog at The Silver Screen Savant. He has smart and unique commentaries on movies and documentaries that are not only easy to read but also are fun to read.
Before I take on this Challenge let me leave you with a quote from Dr. Peter Kreeft about the power of movies:
“The imagination is the most powerful force in human nature for good or for evil. Of all the art forms in our culture cinema is the one that most powerfully uses the imagination. Therefore cinema has the most power the most potential for good or evil of all art forms in our culture.”
–Peter Kreeft
The Liebster Award is an award for bloggers. It helps to discover new blogs and to build a sense of community in the blogging world! Also it allows me to ramble on about things that aren’t movies.
Okay, so here are the rules:
• Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you
• Answer the 11 questions the blogger gives you

• Let the bloggers know you nominated them
