     On a sad note the death of director Tony Scott June 21, 1944 - August 19, 2012. His movies just too name a few were "Top Gun", "The Hunger", "True Romance", "Days of Thunder", "Enemy of the State", "Man on Fire", "The Taking of Pelham One,Two, Three", and his last film "Unstoppable". The production company he shared with his brother director Ridley Scott, "Scott Free" produced popular television series like "Numbers" and "The Good Wife". He had a very clear vision of what he wanted to create on film and it usually was better than he even imagined. He was definitely a great creative talent and he will be sorely missed.
