What's it all about?

I thought I'd send out my first blog here as a sort of mission statement as to what it's all about. 
I am an avid watcher of films...all films.  I admit that I was a late bloomer when it came to movies, but have more than made up for that.  Years ago I worked at a video rental store that had the largest collection of films in probably the entire Midwest.  While I was there I began to catalogue every movie I had ever seen. This is also where I discovered the Criterion Collection. It is now one of my goals to see every film in that collection.  So here I am several years later and my love for all things cinema has flourished to quite the obsession.  Many of the films I'll review and comment about will be older films and mostly those from Criterion along with a few fresh ones I'll catch in theatres. I will do my best to be informative while keeping the snobbery to a minimum. Enjoy.
