I’ve got a new post up at Movie Mezzanine this morning. You’ve probably noticed that I’m publishing more and more of my articles at other sites – and fewer here at my blog. This is a trend that I hope will continue; as much as I value having this space, I always appreciate having my…
I’ve become a regular contributor at an up-and-coming movie site called Movie Mezzanine, and I hope you check it out. It’s so new, there are no ads! Here’s one of my new pieces there about Parkland, which I reviewed for the Washington City Paper last week. This piece looks at the film as a JFK…
