Oscar-nominated film production designer, art director and all fountain of filmic knowledge David L. Snyder has quite the CV.

The Theory Of Everything (2015) Mini Review
“There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.”
Introducing – Aether: The Rise Of Specter
“That which was meant to be a remedy from the Gods, has become a poison.”
Jurassic World Review
Welcome, to Jurassic World.

Max Max: Fury Road Review
What a rush! Mad Max Is back, and louder, brasher and crazier than ever. Yes, it’s borderline ridiculous, but boy does it know it. George Miller’s rejuvenation of the long slumbering franchise is a beast, embracing its roots, and the more ‘out there’ elements of its universe, to provide a non-stop, roller coaster ride of…
