The Journey Begins!

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my first ever entry, this will be the home of my reviews for everything Criterion and Eclipse related, I have wanted to do this for about a year now and since my collection is starting to build, I think it is the right time to start this journey, my journey starts here and will hopefully come to an end when both collections of this ground breaking and I may say so myself "Excellent" endeavor into the far reaches of cinema, it is the only collection of DVD that I know who strive to improve the film knowledge of people like me who are looking to be challenged and shown something not seen in every day cinema.

I believe the Criterion and Eclipse collection will be enough to show me everything mentioned above and more, I will review every single movie and extra that is released with these collections, I will try and bring my film knowledge to my reviews and hopefully wont look like a complete idiot, but this is what I'm doing this for, I want to expand on everything I think I know and be something I admire, which is someone who loves film and wants to know every aspect of the medium and try and challenge themselves with this collection.

I do realize that there is a man by the name of Matthew Dessem on this site who is doing the same thing I am about to Embark on, I just want to say straight up, I am not a copycat or trying to take away from Matthew, I admire him for what he is doing, I can only hope that I am as good as him in the long run, I just want to do what I love doing and that is review films, I am hoping this is my chance to do so and Matthew if you ever see this, I am not trying to copy you, I love your blog and I check up on it all the time, I just thought the comparison which is bound to arise is something I'm putting to a stop before it begins.

Here is the part of the blog where I let you all know a little bit about me, My Name is Paul, I live in Australia and I am 21 Years of age, I love film and have always loved it in some respect, I think in the last six to seven years I have really come into film and started challenging myself as a viewer, before hand you couldn't get me to sit through a film with subtitles, black and white or Art House Cinema, I am disgusted in myself for not catching on earlier but I have grown with my taste and hopefully this blog will take me on a trip worth living.

So to everyone who is like me please feel free to leave comments because I would love to hear from you, I want this not to be a journey just for myself but for the people reading and a good film discussion is a wonderful thing, so keep an eye out for reviews coming soon.

Paul .H.
