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 Fall Film Series Surrealism in Film begins at the North Carolina Museum of Art September 16, 2011.

Consult moviediva, jr., for the opinions of a teen diva-in-training. She's graduated from 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 2011 Bollywood films with links to reviews back to 2006, 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
