Welcome to moviediva!

Moviediva provides thoughtful film writing, with reviews containing biographical and production details, critical opinion from old and new sources, photos from out of print sources and a collection of vintage movie-star scrapbooks and the moviediva's own definite point of view.

You can search the Index for reviews of over 200 great films, and check for recent updates in What's New. Or, if you must know about me, try About moviediva (but remember, it's all about the movies).

The 2010 Fall Film Series begins at the North Carolina Museum of Art on September 17, 2010.

If you have a question or comment, or wish to be added to the North Carolina Museum of Art's Film Series e-mail notification list, you may Ask the moviediva. Consult moviediva, jr., for the opinions of a teen diva-in-training. She just finished her junior year of college, but her youthful opinions are archived here! Here is a Movie Quote of the Month archive. My new passion is Hindi cinema. Check What's New for the latest 2010 Bollywood films, with links to reviews for the last few years, and commentary on some older Hindi films.

"The darkness that settles over a movie theater is equivalent to the act of closing the eyes. Then, on screen, as within the human being, the nocturnal voyage into the unconscious begins." --Luis Bunuel
