Film Walrus Reviews: Introduction to the Film Atlas
http://www.filmwalrus.com/2014/01/introduction-to-film-atlas.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. Introduction to the Film Atlas. Welcome to the Film Atlas! I am going to review a favorite film from 100 countries. There will be a new post with a new country and a new film every day. Countries whose films will be featured, color-coded by decade. It probably goes without saying that I think these films have more to offer! The thought occurred to me that I should set a goal of 100. Even better, instead of just seeing the movies, what if I wrote about them? Movie from each count...

Film Walrus Reviews: May 2014
http://www.filmwalrus.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2014. Film Atlas (Haiti): Moloch Tropical. Sunday, May 25, 2014. Film Atlas (Zimbabwe): The Legend of the Sky Kingdom. The Legend of the Sky Kingdom. The Legend of the Sky Kingdom is reminiscent of Veggie Tales, both of which are animated, targeted at kids and informed by an unambiguously Christian agenda. I've got extremely mixed feelings about children's movies that push specific religious beliefs (see my full length review and discussion. The Legend of the Sky Kingdom, despite laying a...

Film Walrus Reviews: October 2013
http://www.filmwalrus.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. My Top 200 Favorite Horror Films. To celebrate Halloween 2013 here are my top 200 horror films. This is an admittedly idiosyncratic list, so I will explain a little about my taste:. I enforced a rule of only one film per series (including reboots), which is why you won’t see Aliens, Frankenstein, Cat People, Dawn of the Dead or Inferno. If you are wondering about the absence of ‘classics’ like Halloween, Friday the 13. And now the list…. Cremator, The (1969) Slovakia. Boxer's ...

In the ancient and dazzlingly scenic cave city of Cappadocia, Mr. Aydin runs a hotel, writes a smalltime column called 'Voices of the Steppe,' and serves as landlord for pretty much the entire nearby population though he is so hands-off that even he admits he wouldn't necessarily recognize their faces if he passed them on the street.
