A Beginner's Guide to Life as Fiction

I love film.  Or movies, or whatever you want to call them.  I love the way things unfold in front of your eyes, the way you can sink your teeth into another world.  I love dissecting the human condition through elegant visages, rescuing the damsel in distress, triggering memories from a long forgotten childhood. This is what cinema gives me, a satisfaction that may be intellectual or just pure entertainment. And in return, I give the medium my time.  And since time is a limited resource in our lives, this ends up being a very fair trade.

LIFE AS FICTION is a personal project of mine to chronicle all the films I see.  I am not, by any means, a “critic.”  I have too much respect for those out there who consider it their vocation, their craft, and I'd never take that away from them.  These are simply commentaries on what I observe, often self-serving and simply out there in the vast Internet as another node of opinion.   They're to be enjoyed, and often to be taken with a grain of salt.  My greatest hope, however, would be that in this process, I introduce something new to the reader now and then.
