    Instead of linking to my comments or reviews I put a code to show where I saw it,
    NY Film Festival, R-V=Rendez-Vous with French Cinema (Lincoln Center), FCS=Film
    Comment Selects (Lincoln Center); R just means I wrote a review of it and C-S just
    means I have a review of it on www.cinescene.com.

    Everything I've seen on the big screen and a few others are listed with links to my
    comments or reviews on my website here.

    I may revise these lists but I'm putting them out there for people to think about and comment on if they like.
