http://www.filmbanana.com/ Hello fellow Bloggers, I'm Nathan and I enjoy film and television shows as I'm sure you do.

A place where you can hang out with characters of inspiring or disturbing natures and maybe even find some answers for your own life in the process. en Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:59:00 GMT Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:59:00 GMT info@filmbanana.com info@filmbanana.com http://www.filmbanana.com/images/filmbananabanner.JPG http://www.filmbanana.com/ http://www.filmbanana.com/josee-the-tiger-and-the-fish/ Josee, The Tiger and The Fish is not a spin-off of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but is the story of the relationship that develops between a handicapped paraplegic young woman... http://www.filmbanana.com/josee-the-tiger-and-the-fish/#comments http://www.filmbanana.com/josee-the-tiger-and-the-fish/ Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:59:00 GMT http://www.filmbanana.com/through-a-glass-darkly-conquering-certainty/ "I sat in the wreck, holding Karin, when reality cracked... reality...cracked, and I fell out.
