I try to keep up with posting here everything I write over at Cinema Sentries, but sometimesI’m really bad at it. There are also tons of stuff I wrote ages ago that I’ve never gotten around to posting here.

Basically, for several years I wrote stuff for Cinema Sentries and didn’t bother posting it here because this was a music-only site for a while. Then, when this became more of a movie site, I started posting the things I was writing for Cinema Sentries here. But there was a backlog. Sometimes I’ll go way back to the beginning and post all the really old stuff, but then there is constantly new stuff to post. And sometimes I don’t post the new stuff because I get busy or bored, or I just forget.

Then I’ll start back up with the new stuff, but I don’t always get caught up with what I missed. This creates little holes of posts that I’ve written for CS but not added here.

Someday I’ll get really organized with it and systematically go through all my writings over at Cinema Sentires and make sure they are all posted here.

Anyway, this is a Five Cool Things I wrote back in June. It features a novel by Laura Lippman, the Grateful Dead, a fun French film, a wonderful Samurai movie, a fantastic 1970s James Brolin film, and a trailer for The Debut. You can read more by clicking here.
