| Introduction | If you've woken up only to find yourself here, then you and I probably share similar interests. Suffice it to say that I've loved movies all my life, but it's only been in the last few years that I've taken to reviewing them seriously. In preparation of the book I plan to have finished by next year (a character-driven exposé of the pre-Hays Code Hollywood studio system), I figured I'd take the opportunity to not only put my writing out there, but to also do something I love in the limbo between. This is what keeps me moving and passion is by all means productive. This is not my first attempt at a blog, but it is the first to which I am dedicated fully. If you like what you see, then stick around. This is for your pleasure dear reader as much as it is my own. |
