Film 202 Art Journal

Over the next semester, I have decided that I am going to follow cinema-scope.com. I have chosen this web site for one reason alone, diversity. There are a number of different articles about many different topics. I just read an article about the mastery of Jean-Claude Van Damme. I would never in a million years think of him as a master but this article was explaining why he is. But there were also articles about music in movies, plays and other art. I think its great that this website doesn't just focus on one aspect but all sorts of different aspects. That sounds very appealing to me.

Chuck -
Good choice, I think. And for the reasons you stated. I too like that magazine for its unexpected range of topics and considerations. I am more familiar with the magazine than the website, but both have a mix of narrative and experimental, contemporary and historical, filmic and non. and all most acccessible.

I haven't read the Van Dame article yet, but thanks for the recommendation. I will give it a look.

The guidelines for the next round of blogs are now on the D2L site. Be sure to give them a look. Those posts are due BY 29 October.

I look forward to reading about your experiences with cinema-scope.com
