#CrossoverInsider : Furious, Forza, Trailers & Indy Video Store Day Approaching…
Tyler Davis, Owner Crossover Video & Games authors the CrossoverInsider each week (published Tuesdays) for OntarioNewsNorth.com
November 30th, 2013, was a dark day in Hollywood. That was the day that Paul Walker- a great actor and all around great guy- died tragically in a car accident. Fans and movie watchers in general were shocked by the news as his death came while filming the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise- Furious 7. After the grieving process, directors were faced with a daunting task- how to finish a movie whose main character had just passed away? As it turns out, Paul Walker’s death opened the door for his younger brother Cody to step up and honor his brother by filling in for his remaining scenes. In fact, Cody did such a an admirable job, that he has since starred in another movie and is rumored to be set to appear in Furious 8 thus launching a new Hollywood acting career.
This just goes to show that even tragic stories sometimes have happy endings. Furious 7 headlines a week that features a total of six new releases;

The 5th Annual International Independent Video Store Day will be taking place Saturday, October 17th. Once again Crossover Video and Games will be taking part. Video Store Day is an important event designed to draw attention to the fact that, in spite of popular media misconception, there are still hundreds of independently owned video stores that are very much alive and healthy across the world. It is a chance for new customers to check out what they’ve been missing out on, and for past customers to rediscover the magic of experiencing friendly customer service and knowledgeable movie talk from video store staff, as well as that unparalleled opportunity to hold the movie in your hand while you browse the shelves and aisles with the family, friends, or on your own accord. On this day, Crossover Video and Games will be offering special sales, coupons, free samples and prize opportunities to our customers.
Please stay tuned to OntarioNewsNorth.com, and check out future Crossover Insiders for more information and details about this exciting day!
Have a safe week and don’t forget to support your local businesses!
