In the past few months, I've found myself visiting blogs on a more frequent basis. Someone on the old board let us know about daily.greencine.com -- which has become a daily stop for me -- and I occasionally visit the blogs at indiewire and wileywigginsblog.


Are there any other cinema related blogs that y'all can recommend?



(Slightly cinema related -- ok, moving image related -- the blog at boingboing.net had some fascinating links to unsecured googable webcams {security camera networks, traffic cams, public safety networks, etc.} that have been made "public access" thanks to the webcrawlings of google. Far out.)

For Asian movies you can check out:

Excellent question, Brandon. I'd love to find some myself. Here are a few you might want to check out:

Out of Focus is pretty New York-centric and occasionally crosses over into music and TV, but is usually pretty interesting.

Cinecultist is too New York for my tastes, but see what you think.

I used to go to Film Brain a lot, but it doesn't update as often as it used to.

I haven't actually read The Movie Blog in awhile, but check it out for yourself.

Netflix customers might like Hacking Netflix, which always has the latest news on what's happening with that addiction, um, I mean, business.

Most of those sites also link to other blogs that you can take a look at in your free time.

I'll also mention my own blog, Johnny LaRue's Crane Shot, just so long as you don't expect anything intelligent, witty or deep.

In addition to GreenCine, I really like <a href="http://www.twitchfilm.net">TwitchFilm</a> (which is frequently linked to from GreenCine, of course). Lots of Asian/genre action there, well worth a look.

I only discovered this one recently:

Apparently query letters submitted to some guy in Hollywood. Very interesting and amusing reading. For example:

Actually, I'd watch that. :D

Joe Dante's MATINEE kind'a came close to what VIRGIN MISSILE CRISIS offers. Of course, it was PG and the characters were under-age, so Dante could only go so far.

I just checked the blog where this came from and a quick read of the first several queries reveals quite a few movies I'd much rather see than the critically-acclaimed drek currently in theaters.

i love twitch as well, and i think they just added someone to cover european stuff, which should be great.

i also like:

Cartoon Brew for animated stuff

Anipages daily for amazingly detailed posts on Japanese animation:

A Girl and a Gun is sometimes fun:

Cinema Treasures is a great blog dedicated to old movie theater celebration and preservation:

and i used to love Bitter Cinema, but it seems to be moribund:

http://www.bittercinema.com/

I like Cinegeek-files - but it looks like its only updated sporadically and there's not much on it yet...

You are correct, sir. The guy that handles the European reviewing for Nicheflix is going to be feeding us Euro news. And thanks for all the kind words ... we put a lot of work into it ...
