A LIFE
IN CINEMA.
Some films end.
Others never really leave you.
A collection of those films, the thoughts they leave behind, and a lifelong obsession with the big screen.

The feeling first. Then the filmmaking.
Selected notes, exactly as I wrote them.

THE ONES
THAT STAY.
The films I carry with me. Different lists for different kinds of love.
A favourite and the most accomplished film aren’t always the same choice. There’s room for both.
Always open to another rewatch.
FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY.
A few thousand films. Every rating is personal.

ALWAYS WATCHING.
Film analyst. Toronto cinephile.
A familiar face in the cinema.
From Kurosawa and Bergman to Nolan and Indian cinema, I’m interested in what a film makes you feel, and the choices that make that feeling possible.
This journal is a home for my reviews, the films I return to, and a taste that keeps changing. Preferably experienced on the biggest screen I can find, with a particular weakness for 35mm, 70mm and IMAX.
