Here you will find simple, honest, straight-forward (okay, maybe not that straight-forward: we do like to tangent, occasionally) movie reviews for both new and not-so-new films.
Sometimes, we will even take a look back at movies you (and we) may have missed the first time around.
If you really want to keep track of everything we do and say (and why wouldn't you?), you can follow us on FACEBOOK and TWITTER, where you will find random bits of movie and entertainment information and commentary as we get them and pass them along.
(Following us on TWITTER would be a great help, by the way. We promise we won't spam your feed.)
Are you an INSTAGRAM user? We're there, too.
Heck, we're even showing up on YOUTUBE, which gives you yet another way to listen and/or watch us, and where some video-only exclusive stuff gets dropped from time to time.
