    Why haven't I reviewed anything (or anyone) in a long time? Here we go. I would like to describe Don LaFontaine as the best announcer for the movies. I've heard his voice in a lot TV Spots and trailers, and even on Cartoon Theater promos. It's a shame to see that Mr. LaFontaine is gone now. He'll always be remembered as the greatest movie trailer announcer in the universe. Rest in peace, dude. :(
