    Great to have you, everything I know I learned here from movieline, so like most readers I'm real smart.

    Hi, Alison!

  • Tommy Marx says:

    I loved your first review. It was funny, well-written, and actually made me want to see a shark movie. I can't wait to read your future reviews!

  • Thanks for the feedback, Tommy -- and here's Alison's review of The Debt as well... Apollo 18 still to come!

    S.T., I don't know if it's because I'm using Google Chrome or if it's your site's coding fault, but it usually takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes for Movie|Line to load, and I have the optimum cable speed. I've gotten to the point where I'm extremely selective about which articles I read - the full articles load faster, but returning back to the main page always takes a while. I have problems with another favorite website - Joe.My.God - so it really is possible it's a problem with Chrome. But on the off chance that it's not, is there anything you can do to help? My email is my name (no punctuation) at cox.net. Movie|Line is one of my favorite websites - and once upon a time was one of my favorite magazines. But I hate constantly having to wait for ping.net and twitter and all the other things that make the wait to see the home page irritating.

    I was a big fan of the IFC podcast you hosted and it's sad that's no longer around.
