Buck A Review
(Not as frequent as he’d like) filmmaker Douglas Buck spends a lot of time at the cinema rep house and at home watching old movies. In a new-fangled modern approach to the old index card cataloguing system he used to compulsively follow as a teen, about 4 years ago, Buck started posting a photo or film poster on Facebook for every one of the films he saw. Soon enough, this led to him including the occasional single sentence or brief paragraph write-up. Helped along by the surprise appearance of a small number of seemingly interested thread commenters as well as his own obsessive-compulsive traits, this then (perhaps inevitably) developed into longer form reviews and discussions for each and every one of the films. And here we are. Below will be a mishmash of older entries and current. Feel free to chime in.
The views and opinions expressed in the “Buck a Review” column (and in the comments field) are those of the individual author (or commenter) and not those of Offscreen or any of its partners.
