The idea for this article came out of how many films I have been watching lately in an effort to up my film IQ. I am not watching these films to be any kind of film historian, but to just have an overall knowledge of movies. It is also a nice way to make up for how many bad films I have to watch.

My larger goal is to begin writing full reviews for all of these films when I...Read Full Story

Rome has always been better than Prozac for me (and without the...Read Full Story

And thanks to the commenter who goes by KM, here’s what the glues mean: She was in a movie about the last year of Modigliani’s life, entitled, “Les Amants de Montparnasse.” She also appeared in “8½” (half of 17).

KM was correct on all but one: Anouk portrayed Jeanne Hébuterne, Modigliani’s wife in that movie and she was in Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2 — but — the M.C...Read Full Story
