When is it appropriate to reveal an "evil" character's point of view? Is it ever appropriate to dwell on that point of view exclusively? I tackle this challenging question in light of "Blue Caprice", a film about the notorious "Bewtway Sniper"...
"Blue Caprice", contemplated in Musing Pictures, only at Max It Magazine
This blog is not about film reviews. Everyone writes film reviews. In these posts, I will not rate a movie with stars, or thumbs, or tomatoes. I will avoid telling you what you should or shouldn't see. This is a blog for thoughts and discussions about movies -- both current and old. This is a blog for film lovers everywhere to unite in conversation, discussion, and reflection on the art, science, culture and entertainment of moving pictures.

In my latest article, I explore what Spielberg might have learned from "Lawrence of Arabia" (and wonder if there might have been lessons he chose to ignore).
