ABOUT ME

My photo
Josh
I love films of any era, especially classics from Hollywood's Golden Age and world cinema. My favorites include Humphrey Bogart, Russell Crowe, Cary Grant, Juliette Binoche, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Ingmar Bergman, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, and Stanley Kubrick. Also, I'm a big fan of the Academy Awards - past, present, and future.
