How artfully done! What an exquisite website. A feast for the eyes and the soul.
Congrats!
Look forward to following your progression.

Thanks! I’m new to this, but what’s life without the occasional adventure?
Movie reviews are going to be my thing, everything from Hollywood classics (“Ninotchka,” “Sunset Boulevard,” “A Star is Born,” “Singin’ in the Rain”) to Italian Neorealist and French New Wave cinema — and anything else that catches my fancy.
Great website – very clear and easy to navigate. I agree about the small writing on the Home page, and with whoever said there should be a sentence or two about you on it. Apart from that, I found it fascinating, and look forward to your classic film revews.

Cheers, Robin. Next up: “Guys and Dolls.” My mother-in-law and I always watch a rousing musical on Christmas Day.
Have you ever seen CESAR ET ROSALIE (with Romy Schneider)?
I’d love to hear your commentary on it.
That’s a tough one to find, Camilla. Romy Schneider had such a tough time. She was really exploited by Bertolucci in “Last Tango” and the damage stayed with her for her entire life, it seems.
I love the look of your new site, Lisa. Very easy to navigate.
Only thing I found missing was a link to your books. Are they out in the world and can we get there from here? The movie blog is terrific- looking forward to reading your reviews.

Thanks, Ute. If you click on the highlighted title on the Nonfiction page, it will take you to Amazon where you can order Leaving You or Paris Under the Occupation.
Lafayette, I am here. I’d like to post a link to your site on my comedy blog, if you have no objections. Will try to get to “Pickpocket” this weekend and post comments in my film office, or in classified dispatches to “The Front”… and I’m sure you’ll get that.
I see we have a mutual friend: Splendor G. Mainwaring, who is being sued by Thomas Berger and Carlo Reinhart… but that’s another story… or possibly a screenplay… we should talk about Reinhart’s women… poor Carlo kept looking for love in all the wrong places, until his daughter fixed him up with her boss, and then things started cooking for him. The story of the autumn of his life has been called “a paean to kindness” and so it is… in the same way that Thomas Mann laconically reviewed “The Glass Bead Game” with a single word: “Sublime”… and it just occurred to me why John LeCarre chose the name “Oliver Lacon” in “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” which has just been remade, and here I am playing the glass bead game again. Oliver was a man of few carefully chosen words, which drove George Smiley up the wall… but the real question is, why did he call the main character “Smiley”? My theory is because all his smiles were ironical, which rhymes with laconical… but I digress.
Thanks for the book… I am reciprocating with a video; a poor thing, but mine own. Consider yourself warned, and thus presumably forearmed, though presumptions, like assumptions, are inherently dangerous.
Happy New Year!

Marcel, dear fellow. So good of you to visit. Hitting the amontillado again, I see?
Fantastic new look….
You ain’t seen nothing yet, babe!
Beatiful work….however, on my Dell PC the top picture is coming in a bit blurry, is there anything i can do to fix that?
We’re working on it, Blue. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellente!
Thanks, Jules. By the way, loved your essay on Allen Ginsberg at http://jewishcurrents.org/people-of-the-book-101-allen-ginsberg-8952
Thank you, dear Lisa. As you have said, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Jules
Lisa, could you give us a review of JAWS in honor of the holiday weekend? Thanks!
Great idea, Rita! Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water…
Most important Happy Birthday Lisa!
My question is if you eliminate the usual drivel of Christmas Movies (Miracle, Anything with Bing Crosby or Jimmy Stewart) or TV classics, what is the best all time Christmas movie? For me the best was an early Spielberg Charistmas TV show when Santa was arrested and culminated in a sled/cop car chase. I forgot the name of the show. Kevin
Thanks, Kevin. Does “A Charlie Brown Christmas” count? That’s one I’ll happily watch again and again.
