Classic Film Columnist
I'm a classic film columnist with a special devotion to those shot in black-and-white.
In my columns I celebrate the beauty of classic films and all those who helped to create them. And like all great works of art, I spotlight their continuing ability to influence and inspire.
My columns have appeared in The Catholic Free Press and on the sites 50 Plus CT and Mass Bay Film Project. Locally, I've conducted film programs on the great writer/director Preston Sturges. And, I've also presented my series, "Popcorn Sermons," at The Icon Museum and Study Center.
I'm also a proud member of The Film Noir Foundation, The International Buster Keaton Society and The Classic Movie Blog Association.
