Welcome to moviediva!

Moviediva provides thoughtful writing about classic films, with reviews containing biographical and production details, critical opinion from old and new sources, photos from 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).

Here is the schedule for the North Carolina Museum of Art 2010 Winter Film Series, temporarily in residence at the Galaxy Cinema, Cary, NC.

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's midway through college, although 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 Bollywood films from 2009, 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
