| Description: | Marilyn Ferdinand, a Chicago-based writer, and Roderick Heath, an Australian-based writer, cover the wide world of cinema. Marilyn prefers the offroad films: older (including silents), international, documentary, overlooked. Rod reviews the latest films as well as older and classic films. Marilyn's "Our Backstreets" commentaries deal with everything from theatre to Chicago politics. Other semi-regular features include Nobel on Films, Persons of Interest, Famous Firsts, and participation in blogathons and movie memes. |
