Welcome

Film Is a Battleground has transitioned from e-mail newsletter to blog.

The uninitiated should know a few things.

1) New issues appear irregularly.
2) This effort is not at all thorough, at least in the short term.
3) I take requests.
4) I appreciate opinions both assenting and dissenting and will gladly argue with the latter.
5) I employ a rating system. If Jonathan Rosenbaum can give films 0-4 stars, my doing so is no great indignity. In fact, I’ll just cop his system. The classifications are as follows:

0 stars = No redeeming facet
1 star = Has redeeming facet
2 stars = Worth seeing
3 stars = A Must-see
4 stars = Masterpiece

Enjoy Issues #1-#7 and expect Issue #8 sometime next week.
