Realised I haven’t introduced myself on here. I’m Leon! I review films and physical media releases for Blueprint: Review. Sometimes, I make YouTube videos. I have terrible takes. I’m a musician/songwriter who never releases music. I’ll leave some links below this post if you want to take a look!
In what may be my finest outing as a writer for Blueprint: Review, I checked out the greatest film ever made, ROAD HOUSE. It's being released by Arrow Video, so if you need to own the greatest achievement in cinema history, you're in luck. Road House.
