the year in pictures.

Although I am sometimes (okay, often) remiss in writing full reviews, I am a ravenous movie fan. Here I list most films I've seen to date in 1997, with a woefully inadequate evaluation in the form of a grade.

If you, for some deluded and bizarre reason, really want to know more about what I thought about a specific film, just let me know. I'll make a special effort to post a review, just for you. Isn't that special?
