My Life in Movies is a collection of thoughts and impressions by A.R. While ostensibly a film blog, I also cover art and literature when the mood strikes me. There is no specific subject or theme to this blog, though there are recurring obsessions, such as film noir, psychological horror, and cinema as contemplation. Film, for me, is just another art form, one that is ideal for conveying rich internal realities. My Life in Movies is driven by personal impressions and recurrent obsessions, not qualitative “reviews” as such (though entries can be used as such, if you like). There are many movie blogs out there, but this one is mine.
