I love cinematography. Artistically speaking, films are always filled with so many obscurities and complexities. Many which serve to provide meaning, frame the story, and give the viewer an opportunity to experience the impact. I especially love foreign, independent, and documentary films. I’ve heard it said somewhere that "for people of faith, films are opportunities to engage with modern day parables.” Really?

For some time now I’ve wanted to do movie reviews. I’ve chosen "movie quotes" as my way to venture into this. I’ve noticed many profound quotes in so many films that are extremely powerful and thought-provoking. This is true both in and out of context.

I’ll be presenting these film reviews in two parts. First, I’ll share a quote, review it, and ask you to comment. Second, I’ll review the film. If you recognize the film from the quote, please comment without revealing the film. I'd like to keep the film a surprise until the review. The image with the first part will be a snippet from the actual film cover, so feel free to try to figure out the film.

I am no Siskel & Roeper, but if you know anything about me from this site, you know we’ll surely have some fun with this.
