About

Chris Murphy is a freelance, full-time movie watcher with a part-time lover, sharing his film watching experiences. Since first watching A Streetcar Named Desire in his grade 11 English class, he has been passionate about seeing just about any kind of movie – old movies, new movies, foreign movies, he doesn’t discriminate. He considers the first times he watched David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia and Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai to be moments of pure bliss and is always seeking the profound experiences that film has the potential to offer. This blog offers film reviews from a small sampling of the recent movies he has seen.
