Against all odds, Living in Cinema turns one year old this month. Technically, the first post was on April 17th so it’s still a few days off, but we’re close enough to one trip around the sun to make this a good time to pause and reflect on where LiC has been and to think [...]

We take a passive approach to pimping and whoring here at Living in Cinema, however letting the content speak for itself will only get you so far. The LiC monkeys keep telling me they want to turn it up to eleven and, since things run more smoothly when the monkeys are happy, I’m letting them have their [...]

Me and the crack staff of Living in Cinema monkeys are going to be making sweet sweet love to the city of Portland this weekend. I’ve trained one of them to play the zither and another one to mix the perfect Manhattan so hopefully there will be all manner of monkey related shenanigans.
What does all this [...]

There have been a few quiet changes around Living in Cinema lately. For starters, I hit my unannounced goal of posting something new every day for the month of January. I actually ended up posting multiple items most days and I really enjoyed the regularity and consistency. I regret that the frequency of the longer posts has dipped, [...]

In 4th grade, I ran for school treasurer. I made speeches. I made posters. At the time, I was even pretty sure I invented the spelling of  ’trea$urer’ with a dollar sign for the S. Turns out I was pretty sure of a lot of other things in 4th grade that weren’t true either; the [...]

Just a few words before we head into the weekend:
I’m making an adjustment to my star-rating policy. I’d originally decided never to give a new movie a perfect 5-star rating because it seemed the height of foolishness to put a movie I’ve only seen once into the pantheon of greats that have stood the test of [...]

Living in Cinema is currently going through some server changes and design upgrades. Since I’m doing it myself and since I don’t know what I’m doing (a lethal combination), there will probably be glitches. Thank you in advance for your patience.

It turns out reviewing movies on a regular basis is harder than I thought it would be, however, they’ve sort of become the back bone of this blog. I suppose it was inevitable since I don’t care to pick over ever detail of a movie before it’s even released, I have zero interest in box [...]

I obsessively check up on how many people are viewing this blog and why, partly because I’m an attention whore and partly because I’m curious to know what people are responding to even if they don’t leave a comment. It turns out for example, a lot of people have been searching for the name of the [...]

I’ll be on vacation from July 6 to July 16, 2007. I’ll have computer access, but I don’t know how much writing I’ll be doing until I get back.  I’m hoping to do a lot of reading and photography and relaxing and I think it will be good to take a rest from movies. I may [...]
