For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism

FOR THE LOVE OF MOVIES: THE STORY OF AMERICAN FILM CRITICISM (2009) - March 26, 2012
A kind of low-rent but mostly enjoyable documentary about the history of film criticism, from the beginning of cinema to its heyday in the '60s and '70s to the current state on online criticism.  The movie was made by a critic, not a filmmaker, and you can tell (it's a little amateurish) -- but at the same time, the man's passion for film criticism definitely shines through.  The film drags a bit, but for the most part it's actually pretty interesting.  **1/2
