We are the Silver Screen Cynics! We love film and television and discussing them both. Over the years we have becomes somewhat cynical in our approach to critiquing film. Sometimes poo-pooing on a film or director can be quite fun! This also means that when we find something that we enjoy, we get very excited to discuss it! That can be rare though.
