Back again for the third time in a week, because we just stop information that wants to flow like sap on a warm spring day. R.I.P. professional critique day, as we take a hard look at Variety et al’s treatment of the medium we hold dear.

Great show Fellas! Covers a lot of issues and news this week that has not been posted on R3 (it’s been that kind of week!).
To start off anyones critical reading, Vince Canby, Manny Farber, Paulene Kael and Andrew Sarris are great places to start.
Also, Cahiers Du Cinema has been putting out english translations for quite some time, but I don’t know how far back they go.
Lastly, browse on over to Criterion’s site and read all the contributed essays for their various dvd releases. swell stuff.
I would add to that the fine folks at Moving Image Source.
