I’m hoping to find a few more movie blogs to read.
Now I realize how ridiculously easy that sounds to accomplish, so perhaps I should get more specific: I’m looking for a few more international movie blogs to read. This week, I filled a bit of the gap by finding a writer in Mexico, but I’d love to start following more.
I love the international perspective, both in terms of local titles to keep an eye out for, and a foreign take on North American titles. So while I have a great cache of sources to go to from Sweden, England, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Trinidad – I’d like a few more. I’d love to start following someone from France…from Germany…from Spain…even Russia. Anyone have any contenders?
If you do, leave me a comment – any worthwhile movie site that’s not from North America is one I’d love to dig into.
For your listening and reading fulfillment, I give you…
The Row Three Cinecast posted a pretty epic show this week, one where the conversation was actually dominated by listeners writing in with their homework. I’m actually especially proud of my choices for casting the R3C movie.
Speaking of Row Three, Andrew James jumped ship and spoke with G-Man this week about the movie that made him love movies. It’s a long, fun read where the Andrews got together to discuss A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
A film I’ve been meaning to see for quite some time (but fear will likely bum me out) is PINK RIBBONS, INC. With the whole pink ribbon concept being omnipresent these days, seeing this side of the whole movement is more than a little sobering. Jake has already soaked it up, and put together a rather thoughtful review.
Further to my earlier point, I did start following one site this week: Fernandorafael out of Mexico. Weigh in on his discussion regarding cinephile problems.
Kristin is back after a small hiatus. She eases back into things by rhyming off some of her favorite musical movie moments.
Finally, Mr. Buckle passed a milestone this week by notching his 1,000th post (no small feat!). While he has honoured it by putting up link post, I still vote you stop by his site and wish him a top o the morning.
As for the Tweet of The Week, this was just too curiously awesome to pass up:

Enjoy!
Ryan, thanks for that little plug! Glad to be back. Best of luck in finding more international movie blogs. If you end up finding one from France, please let me know! I’d be interested in following as well 🙂
Nothing doing so far, but here’s hoping I can get lucky.
I’d love to help you out on the international writers front, but I have the same problem.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? For all the Canadian, American, Brit and Aussie blogs I’ve come across, you gotta believe there are a equal amounts for the rest of the world.
If you come across something, let me know.
Ryan, If I am not wrong you do know Mette right ?? She write Lime Reviews and Strawberry Confessions ?? Well, she is German. So, you may at least cross one country off your list. 🙂
I totally read Mette’s stuff, but would like to add on e or two more. Curiously, she wasn’t able to suggest any other German sites.
Go figure.
Thanks for the shout-out sir! Pretty proud to have accomplished that milestone. Leaving it in my wake now with the Sydney Film Festival coverage. So much to see and write about.
In years past, y’all have pointed me towards some great films during SFF so I’m eagerly anticipating all of your coverage. Have fun!
Thanks so much for the mention, Ryan! 🙂 Appreciate the support!
Anytime Fernando!
Can *you* suggest any more international movie blogs for me to check out? Anything that perhaps you follow from Mexico, Latin Amerca, or South America?
Oh, this is embarrassing. I actually don’t follow any Latin blogs! All the blogs I follow are either in the US, UK or Switzerland. Sorry I couldn’t be of help, haha! If you do find one, let me know!
Who’s the Swiss blogger?
Damn! I wrote Switzerland, haha! She’s actually from SWEDEN, sorry. It’s Jessica, at The Velvet Café (http://thevelvetcafe.wordpress.com/)
Heh – well Jessica I know.
The quest for a Swiss blogger continues…
If folks are digging Kristin’s list of musical moments in movies, I just wrapped up a huge list on a super similar topic at the end of last month. Would love more feedback on it:

Oh baby – this series looks epic! I’ll definitely be dropping in some comments – and if my memory can serve me, I’ll try to link to it next week.
Have I not thanked you yet?
I will…..
But for real man.. thanks for the link love. It was a great talk, and I as I said in the comments of that post, your turn will come soon enough. It’s just whether you’re willing to answer the call 😛
I’m not sure if I should feel proud that I know that quote or ashamed.
I’m always willing to answer the call – anytime you want dude.
Oh look at that gorgeous big cat! Cool, a bunch of posts I have missed, thanks Ryan.
Shot that photo on my birthday during a very rainy day at the zoo. Glad you like!
Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new round of links.
