Overture! Cut the Lights! This is It! We'll Hit the Heights!

This page is about a lifelong love affair with the movies.  We will be talking about the cinematic arts, of imagery and its meanings, of layers within layers in storytelling, and of the personal impact movies have made upon the lives of this page's authors.  So make your way up to the balcony, set your popcorn and drink on the armrests, and settle into your seat.  The curtain's about to go up.
