On Movies

I’ve covered a lot of films here in just over one year’s time! I hope subscribers who have been contributing a few pennies (or dollars!) to support the cause are enjoying the work. I’m always open to questions and suggestions!

Jeffrey Overstreet reveals the equation by which he rates all of the movies he sees.

Here is an index-in-progress of film titles I’ve written about
so far at Give Me Some Light.
