Note: A college professor once made the mistake of telling me that I would make an excellent sportswriter, movie reviewer, or literary critic. It immediately went to my head, and ever since that day I’ve thought that people would want to hear what I have to say about pop culture stuff. Now that I have this forum in which to vomit my thoughts on just about anything, I am proud to dust off the childhood dream and make it a reality. To that end, I’d like to present the first in a line of reviews that I’ve lined up exclusively for the readers of Baveblog.org. The movies I review will run the gamut from comedy to action to drama to romance, but each will have one thing in common with the others- some outstanding distinguishing feature or criterion* that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Some of these movies will be popular fare, and some will be titles of which you’ve likely never heard. The hope is that by writing about these forgotten classics, I may revive some small discussion about the merits and demerits of movies that, regardless of your thoughts, are deserving of analysis. So without further ado, I present the first movie review of what is known as the Criterion Collection.
