As regular readers have probably noticed, I haven't posted any reviews of films I've seen for pleasure (as opposed to for work) in the past month or so. The reason is, I've been too busy dealing with our move to CT, doctor's appointments for the impending baby (December 4), and writing lots of freelance reviews for Rocky Mountain Bullhorn, Slant magazine and filmcritic.com.
It's now time to reverse this trend. Starting today, I'll begin posting short capsule reviews (i.e. no more than 200 words) of films I see in theaters and on DVD. Since this blog should function not only as a compilation of my published work, but also as a log of everything I see, throwing up brief reviews will give you - my faithful (five) readers - a window into my extensive, and frequently strange, viewing habits.
So enjoy. And, as always, feel free to disagree and make fun of me as often as you like.
Heh heh. He said "throwing up".
Seriously though ... you should keep doing independent content here. Like top 10 lists (e.g. fav. deleted scenes, best Luis Guzman roles besides "Crocodile Dundee 2"), interviews, random essays, etc.

Yeah, I've been mulling other content for the site, like lists and random thoughts about trends, films, actors, etc. Right now, though, I just don't have tons of time.
But as a wise man once said, "You never know. You never, never know..."

Should I bring all my Raisinettes and Twizzlers ... so I have them?
