About the Journal

Here is my film journal (record, rather). I have put most of the original entries online; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was the first online entry. The original purpose of my journal was to keep me watching good, true, and beautiful films; and the online version is even more purposed to this end because it is public. But now my film journal also can be used as a resource for those who are searching for lovely cinema.
