Norm the Mail...Norman Mailer!

Hey a new freelance gig! You can now check me out over the wonderful film blog The Playlist. This week, I wrote about Criterion's new Eclipse set featuring three films by Norman Mailer. Spoiler: they are all insane and he almost dies. And I'm not making that second part of up. Check it out here.

Screening Log: CinemaScope Edition

            Welcome back to the screening log, everyone! (Are there screening log fans? Sound off in the comments). My life is about to get a bit crazy—I’m starting my Masters Program at Columbia, and while I plan to try and write as much as I can, but that can be sometimes pretty tough when you have 200 pages of high-level film theory to read. So apologies of this whole endeavor falls apart, but The Cinephiliacs will stay on schedule, and this will as much as possible. On with the show!
