About Stephen_Murray

-- H.L. Mencken

I'm hosting a representations of homosexualities June 2013 writeoff in memory of Ed Grover

The French Finds writeoff, for Barbara Fields (Ifif1938) turned into a memorial for the much-loved epinionator who encouraged so many of us.

*****

Though dormant, the Fritz Lang writeoff remains open.

I think that my rating criteria are fairly obvious, but might note that my conception of what is unsuitable for children is less about whether there is any sexual content than about whether they are likely to understand and be able to sit still through the movie I'm reviewing.
