Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog. |

What great posters! Especially the 2007 and 2006 ones, but even the earlier ones had such nice, sly humor. When is the 2008 festival? And will you have a link for those posters, too? I’d love to see them.
