“For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism”   with filmmaker Gerald Perry in person. This is the first documentary to dramatize the rich saga of American movie reviewing. Directed by The Boston Phoenix critic, Gerald Peary, “For the Love of Movies” offers an insider’s view of the critics’ profession, with commentary from America’s best-regarded reviewers, Roger Ebert (The Chicago Sun-Times), A.O. Scott (The New York Times), Lisa Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly), Kenneth Turan (The Los Angeles Times)

We also hear from young, articulate, Internet voices, including Harry Knowles (ainitcoolnews.com) and Karina Longworth (spout.com). Their stories are entertaining, humorous, and personal. Those who hear them may gain new respect for the film critic profession, knowing the faces and voices, and also the history. From the raw beginnings of criticism before The Birth of a Nation to the incendiary Pauline Kael-Andrew Sarris debates of the 1960s and 70s to the battle today between youthful on-liners and the print establishment, this documentary tells all. With narration by Patricia Clarkson.

Harry Caine, a blind writer, reaches this moment in time when he has to heal his wounds from14 years back. He was then still known by his real name, Mateo Blanco, and directing his lastmovie. Penelope Cruz plays a woman loved and obsessed over, feared and abused, in a psychological thriller that exhibits all of Pedro Almodovar ‘s affection for classic genres.
“Cruz exudes a sensual aura of mystery that holds you spellbound. And Almodóvar, a true poet of cinema, creates images — horrifying and healing — that live inside your head like a waking dream. You want to miss a movie like that? I didn’t think so.”
--Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
