| Introduction | I like to discuss and to dissect... movies! What else? I am a freelance movie critic, and a cinematic essayist. I write about advances in cinema, and the way movies impact society. I can discuss the superficial, if you'd like. Or we can go to the substrate of celluloid, baby. I'm a cinematic ambassador, and my job is to amuse, bemuse, and suffuse our landscape with more content about the greatest art on earth -- MOVIES!!!!! |
