Movie Reviews for Writers: 75 Movies About Writers and What You Can Learn from Them
Movies matter. As long as movies are about people—even people like Marvin the Manic Depressive Robot or a monster like the one created by Victor Frankenstein—they will matter. Movies, like books and radio dramas and tales around the fireplace or campfire, introduce to people, some like us, some vastly different, some good, some bad, and some in those wonderful shades between the two (my favorite people, hands down).
