MOVIE NEWS

I've now got a feed from moreover.com, which is a site which "aggregates content." What this means in Real World talk is that you've now got a page to go to which has headlines of the day from Variety, Hollywood Reporter, and a number of other sources. Click here or the Movie News link from any of the Navigation areas.



Though I've tried to accomodate other browsers THIS SITE IS DESIGNED FOR BEST USE WITH IE for the PC, SAFARI for the Mac, and FIREFOX for both the PC and the Mac. It also looks reasonably good on the iPhone. Lucked out on that!
