About Aaron Smith
Expertise
I can answer most questions dealing with Action/Adventure movies, as I am an avid movie fan. Movies are a hobby to me, and I have seen mostly every movie that has been out for the past 23 years. I am good with movie titles, actors; I`ll even give you a review of the movie if you want. A movie I am looking forward to the most is "The Dark Knight", mostly because Im a big fan of the original "Batman Begins" but also now that its the final performance of a great Actor Heathe Ledger (R.I.P.)

Experience
I have been watching movies since I was born, I research and read movie news everyday. Which makes me up to date with everything happening in the movie world

Ben Hur - Judah Ben-Hur lives as a rich Jewish prince and merchant in Jerusalem at the beginning of the 1st century. Together with the new governor his old friend Messala arrives as commanding officer of the Roman legions. At first they are happy to meet after a long time but their different politic views separate them. During the welcome parade a brick falls down from Judah's house and barely misses the governor. Although Messala knows that they are not guilty he sends Judah to the galleys and throws his mother and sister into prison. But Judah swears to come back and take revenge.
