Cinema is the educator of the masses. It is a lifeline, and an escape route. A mother, a friend. A documenter of social development, a fortuneteller. A propaganda machine. An industry, a personal statement. A glimpse of reality, a vision of fantasy. The purest truth, the greatest lie. It teaches us how to spot the bad guy and how to play the hero
Welcome to my corner of the internet. As an unemployed Film Historian I have time on my hands and opinions to share. I have set up this site to collect together all the stuff I have written about film... mainly reviews and articles. I have also included a computer games review section. Feel free to read and agree or disagree with what I say, either way I hope you enjoy.
Oh and the picture above is from "Un Chien Andalou" (1929)
Duke Phillips
: Why the hell do you have to be so critical?
Jay Sherman : I'm a critic.
Duke Phillips : No, your job is to rate movies
on a scale from "good" to "excellent".
Jay Sherman : What if I don't like them?
Duke Phillips : That's what "good" is
for.
"The Critic" 1994
