City Cinema: June 2011

After a missed month (damn deadlines!) my bi-monthly column, "City Cinema" that I do for The Burg, is out and about on newsstands everywhere - well at least in the Harrisburg Pa area.  I write about the stunning Meek's Cutoff (playing an exclusive Central Pennsylvania gig at Midtown Cinema - plug plug) as well as some anticipatory notes about both Super 8 and Cowboys & Aliens.  If one wanted to, one could check out said column here.  Due to this being one of those old school printed columns (in actual paper and ink!) a reprinted version of my column over at my website, The Cinematheque, is where this link will theoretically take you.  Of course one can always go over to The Burg and check out this and past issues in pdf form if one were so inclined.

City Cinema: November 2010

Here is the link to my November 2010 City Cinema column for the Harrisburg PA alt-monthly The Burg.  This month I blather on about the French romantic comedy Heartbreaker and David Fincher's The Social Network, as well as Honest Man, a locally-centered doc about Budd Dwyer (former PA State Treaurer who killed himself on live TV back in 1987), so I am sure you will want to read it.  Who wouldn't want to?

The above link is to the column as it appears on my website, The Cinematheque, but the actual column can be read in the hard copy edition itself (yeah, they still make those) for all those local fans, or at The Burg's website (in PDF form) for those far far away.

City Cinema: September 2010

Here is the link to my September 2010 City Cinema column for the Harrisburg PA alt-monthly The Burg.  I blather on about Winter's Bone and JLG's Breathless restoration, so I am sure you will want to read it.  Plus it's another excuse to post another great poster image from that fabulous French film of yesteryear.

The above link is to the column as it appears on my website, The Cinematheque, but the actual column can be read in the hard copy edition itself (yeah, they still make those) for all those local fans, or at The Burg's website (in PDF form) for those far far away.

City Cinema - My Bi-Monthly Column

ed. note: The links in this post are no longer a viable resource.


As some of you might know (at least the local branch of "some of you") back in April 2009, I became a columnist.  I had (obviously) written film reviews and articles for both online and print publications before that, but that date mark my first foray into becoming a columnist.  It just sounds cool to say, doesn't it?  Columnist.  Yeah baby.

Anyway, these columns (which started out monthly but are now bi-monthly due to space issues) are written for a local alternative monthly here in Harrisburg PA, called The Burg.  

These columns can be viewed at The Burg's website (in PDF form) but I have something even better than that.  You can also read all my columns at The Cinematheque in their original unedited form.  Yeah, that's right, the one's in The Burg have been edited.  I tend to ramble on a bit so some of them were cut for length considerations.  I suppose that's better than having them cut because I cannot form a proper sentence.  Seriously though, the paper's editor, Peter Durantine, does a great job and I for one have no complaints.

Anyway, I have now posted links to all nine of my columns thus far (my tenth, September 2010 will be coming in a few weeks - in a separate post of course) in their true original (and possibly rambling in some cases) form.  Enjoy (or don't).
