  3. Hi there,

    I just discovered your site courtesy "1001 Movies You..." and I must say that I am really impressed by your passion for cinema. I would love to join CMBA... would also like to contribute an article on John Huston's The Maltese Falcon, if permitted. Please do let me how can I be a part of CMBA and the blogathon.

    Regards,

  9. This is massively, horribly, not even on time...late. But, toddlers do not like schedules, deadlines...
