We love and treasure all types of cinema: mainstream and experimental; silent and sound; color and monochrome; short and feature-length; Hollywood, independent, and foreign; highbrow, middlebrow, lowbrow, even nobrow -- every genre and every decade. But our love also sometimes takes the form of criticism. In general, we enjoy talking about how people relate to cinema; the choices made by filmmakers; the historic, cultural, and personal factors underlying those choices; and the artistic and moral consequences of those choices.
Here's a little information about us:
