About Me

My Photo
I am a short story writer hoping to gain inspiration from the greatest films of all-time. I am also seeking motivation to watch these films, many of which I’ve put off seeing for years. I like to think I have achieved both of these goals, at least to a degree. I’m not a movie critic, though I do let an opinion slip out on occasion. I’m just trying to write where my motivation takes me. I’ll continue with it as long as the desire remains strong. The book I am using for my main guidance is "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." I have the 5th edition, but there are newer editions out there.

CHILDREN OF GOD (2002, BRAZIL), THE CONSTANT GARDENER (2006)



Today’s ultra-concise review:
Fernando Meirelles’s City of God is one of the most depressing, depraved, violent and unpleasant movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. And one of the best.

Today’s ultra-concise review #2:
Fernando Meirelles’s The Constant Gardener is a thriller/romance/polemic that takes awhile to get into, but is well worth the effort.

And thank you to Emma Lee of awardingtheweb.com for choosing
1001: A Film Odyssey as receiving a top 50 movie review blog award!

I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before.
