(Note : A + in front of any title means I've only seen the movie on the
small screen.)

Champs
Mike D'Angelo. Possessed
of a rapier wit, his reviews are insightful without ever being
the least bit stuffy. Also writes reviews for some
little-known rag.
Bryant Frazer. Deep Focus.
In-depth reviews that would do Pauline Kael proud.
Steve Erickson. Not
many reviews, but those that are here are uniformly superb. Also
contains (or will contain) the collected translated works of the
French critic Serge Daney, which are well worth reading.
Reuters
The one and only Internet Movie Database.
If you don't have this address permanently stored in your cranium, or
at the very least bookmarked, you can't claim to be a film buff.
Movie Review
Query Engine. Do I need to explain what this is?
Strange
Everything I needed to know, I learned from Cecil Adams.
The Commercial
Comments? Questions? Flames?
Well, write then.
This page came up on Jan 4, 1998 -- and Armageddon failed to arrive
