Contact us at the above email address for information on sending review copies of DVDs and videos. We do not want to build an archive of unwatched and unreviewed films, so it's best if you query us first to see if your film has a reasonable likelihood of being reviewed. We do not review short films at this time.
Note! We do not return video or DVD submissions. If you feel you have it back, please don't send it.
Also Note! As of February 2003, we are no longer running book reviews, unless the book is discussed as part of a larger theme. Nobody reads books anymore; they just look at the pictures. And the hits have reflected that. So with a tear in our eye (and a coffee-stained, dog-eared copy of American Cinema hidden in our back pocket), we say, adios libros!

A note to students
We have a complaint about some of you. (We know you thought we were too nice to complain.) We thrive on e-mail, but please stop sending us those coy requests for "information" that are veiled — sometimes not even — attempts to get us to do your quizzes and papers and, in one case we kid you not, a dissertation! These conniving queries arrive in waves, from every corner of the globe, and some of you even have the temerity to demand we answer you ASAP! We don’t know or care about "the symbolism of the elevator in American cinema" or "How many people does ‘Mother’ kill in Psycho?" And if we did we wouldn’t tell you! We don’t have time to be your stand-ins! We’re too busy thinking of ways to squander the millions that roll in daily from Bright Lights. So please, students, do your own damn homework and let us get back to our Doris Wishman marathon. Tonight’s double-feature: Satan Was a Lady and Nude on the Moon!
