With the death of dedicated indie/foreign flick thread pionered by Edwin Pereyra, discussions of such movies has all but evaporated from HTF (barring the odd inconspicuous DVD review).
Apparently the Pereyras, Reubens, Paxtons, Weinbergs, Whites, Seavers, Crippens etc... of this world have decided to abandon the Movies forum, and now we're stuck with Tim Glover and JediFonger/Yi Feng. WTF? Lew decided to move away from good movies, to Mexico. Michael seems more interested in closing threads than posting reviews. Brook and a few others have now bury their 2006 writeups in the middle of countless 20' silent flick reviews or interminable arugments about D.W. Griffith. Most have just... dissapeared. Are there greener pastures the rest of us are unaware of?
Sure there are critics, but the truth is that over the years, I have come to rely more on the combined opinions of these and other fellow movie enthusiasts than anything else really.
In any case, 8 months into the year, I've yet to see a single flick in this category 'cause ain't nobody sayin' nuttin' no mo'!
Any noteworthy recommendations for me netflix queue?
Mostly, come back, we miss you!
