Yes, thankyou, at least one of us out here does enjoy book reviews when
they're related to film.

As to quantity: it's fortunate that there are contributors prepared to
invest the time in producing a regular and broad view movies.

As to quality: it is not only inevitable but essential that critique
be biased. So long as the bias is consistent it provides a yardstick
for the reader. These critiques are written with some respect for grammar
and language, and are certainly more controlled in their bias than the
casual flames and eulogies found in some other contributions.
