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.

And here’s the written version, which also includes my take on the just-released Ray Harryhausen boxed set.

It’s a sad day for moviegoers in Rockford, with the announcement that two of our local movie houses will be closing.

Though I don’t make it to the theater nearly as often as I used to (a toddler will tend to curb your moviegoing habits), I have fond memories of seeing of movies at Colonial Village and North Towne (way back when it was a first-run theater). I’m especially bummed by the loss of Colonial Village. Rockford should be a big enough city to support at least one theater that screens independent and “art” films, and I’m not sure those kind of smaller films will find a home at the ShowPlace theaters, where SAW V and BEVERLY HILLS CHUHUAHUA rule the screens.
