Recent Movie Reviews
I started writing a weekly film review column in the Valparaiso paper, The Torch, my junior year, and a lot of the following reviews are simply transcriptions of my attempts to bring culture to the masses...and we all know how well that works. There was a kind of mad order to the reviews at first, but now I'm slowly trying to make this more of a general review page, where I review any movie that particularly appeals to me. Probably the best place to look for reviews in this page would be towards the bottom, in All Time Favorites, where I've started to review movies I've loved since the days of my youth.

Best Films of 1999
Since I guess I'm something of a movie critic, I might as well give my list
of the best movies of the year. I hope to have my personal reviews of them up
eventually, but for now, I'll just provide a list...not that anyone is reading
this anyway:
My All Time Favorites
I'm starting to get around to reviewing my favorite movies of all time, but that's coming slowly, since I actually get paid for writing the movie reviews for the Torch. I just have to wait to review these until the spirit movies me....but here's the start of the list, in no particular order (yet). A great online
collection of greatest films lists can be found here. But
for now, here's mine.
