Liev: The Velvet Hammer

I use this term of endearment to try and somehow encapsulate the double edged power that is Liev's voice. Whether you've stuck it through an entire screening of Constantine's Sword for only like 15 seconds of the pleasure, or caught an Infiniti commercial as you walked by the TV, it's burned on your brain forever.

What better way to spend this frigid weekend than curled up with two of my favourite things? History and Liev. *Happy Sigh* My shiny new dvd's of America: The Story of Us arrived yesterday and I'm positively itching to get started.

My parents weren't beachy people, so growing up our summer holidays were spent on historic learning endeavours. This Canadian kid toured the White House, camped in a traditional Mohican Tipi and spent a week on an Amish Farm by the time she reached the double digits!

Giggle, I sound like a car ad myself but it's not just about learning, it's a way of life.

Ah well. This'll be my own guilt free version of a Peanut Buster Parfait.

And I apologize, this clip is ridiculously quick. The actual trailer does not contain Liev's voice (?) and I didn't want to post one of the Youtube videos as I want to encourage people to invest in this wonderful project.

Short but sweet:
