I have loved the movies ever since I saw “The Wizard of Oz” as a young boy. When Beatle-mania hit the USA, Rock-N-Roll was my greatest passion, but I haven’t enjoyed the current music scene nearly as much over the past 15 years, so that void has been filled by film. In college and med school, I would see movies with my friends and we would stay up late into the night chatting about them. I still love seeing movies with friends and then having dinner to discuss them. This blog evolved out of my desire to tell my movie-loving friends about movies I thought they would enjoy. The blog allows me to do this in a fun way and to reach movie fans everywhere.

This film is as much about the 1960’s counter-culture on the beautiful Greek island of Hydra as it is about Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ihlen.

I think I’ve seen one too many Spider-Man movies, because this film was boring to me.  The first half is primarily a pretty good teen-age
