Movie News and Views

I am launching my new blog Movie News and Views which is dedicated to the love and appreciation of cinema. I will post reviews of films currently playing in theaters, new DVD releases and old favorites. There will be postings on news and information regarding upcoming films. I will also have postings on actors, actresses, directors, etc. that I admire. In the future, when the blog is more established, I hope to post interviews with people who are involved in the filmmaking process.

A Tough Decision

No, that is not the name of a film I saw. I have decided that, at least for the time being, I am going to stop writing about the films I see. I just don't have the time to really make this a good blog. I still love cinema and see many films but I have really lost interest in writing in depth about each film. And I don't think that many people read this anyway. From time to time I might right a quick and strong recommendation of certain films.

The films I last saw - The Eclipse (MOD), The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, City Island, 24 City (DVD) are all good to very good.

The fact that I haven't even posted my best of 2009 shows that I want to move on. I will say that I thought that The White Ribbon was the best film of 2009. I was happy that Jeff Bridges won his Oscar. The Best Actresses of 2009 were Catalina Saavedra (The Maid), Yolande Moreau (Seraphine), and Hiam Abbass (Lemon Tree). However, none of them got even close to a nomination. What can I say?

Well, as I said, I will post things from time to time (probably the Cannes FF competition films which we should know about on April 15th). But for now no more extensive reviews.

Ciao for now.
