Roll Credits

Effective immediately, Reviews From the Couch will be closing up shop and moving to greener pastures on the internets. Now I'm not going to get too sentimental but we had a good run here. Some lessons were learned and some fun was had over the past 200 posts. I regret nothing! Well, that isn't exactly true. To paraphrase William Burroughs, not a day goes by without regret. But what I honestly did learn from RFC is that there's a reason I haven't come across another website with a Siskel & Ebert type set-up -- it ain't easy to pull off -- especially when Siskel and/or Ebert are busy most days attempting to earn a living, etc. And maybe even more than that there's the difficulty of creating a website with some semblance of a point-of-view or a distinct voice when you have two different voices and two different points-of-views (even though those points-of-view are the point). So the original mission statement has long since gone by the wayside and for that and other reasons, RFC hasn't quite been at peak performance lately and she's being put out to pasture.

I've found new land in the wild of the internets @ www.trashartandmovies.com and I invite you to join me over there. The site it up now and I'll be getting it in order and organized in the weeks leading up to the Toronto Film Festival. You can expect some words on Inglorious Basterds up there in the next couple days.

Thanks to everyone who checked out or little corner of the net and enjoy the archives -- there's some good stuff in there.
