Introduction	I am a devoted family man, a junior high English teacher, a political and media consultant, a recovering journalist, a devout Catholic -- and a HUGE film buff. As a teenager, I worked at the Plaza Cinema Four in New Orleans, the Aurora Cinema 6 in Algiers and the Sena Mall in Metairie -- movie houses that are now, sadly, gone. I studied film at Loyola University in New Orleans from 1979 to 1981 before being sucked into print journalism and the world of newspapers for 25 years. Now I am bringing my love and appreciation for film to the Internet through this blog. I hope you enjoy my commentary and analysis. And I hope I've helped you discover great films you might otherwise have never seen.
Interests	Mardi Gras, New Orleans, Mississippi politics, Ole Miss football, films.
Favorite movies	The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Raging Bull, Barry Lyndon, Full Metal Jacket, Infernal Affairs, The Killer, Hard Boiled
