Film Blog Group Hug: The 2007-Is-Almost-Over Edition
Filed under: Film Blog Group Hug, Lists  It's been awhile since we've had a little film blog group hugging action around here. Today it's cold and snowing here, so what better way to put off cleaning house and baking lasagna for our Boxing Day party than to cozy up under a quilt with a cup of hot tea and some of my favorite film bloggers? As 2007 wanes away and Sundance looms near, I thought I'd pop by some of my favorite film blogs to see who's doing any writing this holiday weekend.
Before taking a well-deserved break for the holidays, hard-working film blogger Karina Longworth at Spout Blog put...

Indie Film Blog Group Hug: TIFF 2007 Edition
Filed under: Festival Reports, Film Blog Group Hug, Toronto International Film Festival, Cinematical Indie  The Toronto International Film Festival is winding down, and of course the Cinematical crew on the scene provided you with fabulous, fabulous coverage. But it turns out there were other journalists there, too, writing about the fest at other websites. Who knew? So let's take a spin around the ol' Interwebs and show you what our fellow bloggers have been up to in a special TIFF edition of the Film Blog Group Hug:
- GreenCine Daily has provided a lot of TIFF reviews and features. I particularly enjoyed the thoughtful and intelligent dispatches from Film Blog Group Hug, Lists, Cinematical Indie
 It's a hot and steamy weekend here, and I'm feeling way to lazy to go outside for a power walk, so instead I thought I'd do a weekend check-in on some of my fave film sites around the web. As always, if you have a film blog (or even a film blog that you read and like, that you haven't seen me point to in a Group Hug), send me a link at kim(at)cinematical(dot)com. I'm always on the lookout for film sites to add to my already-lengthy list of daily reads ... hey, a girl just can't get too...

Filed under: Film Blog Group Hug, Lists, Cinematical Indie  Time once again to check in on to see what's going on with some of our favorite film blogs ... and by the bye, folks -- if you have a film blog that I don't know about, please drop me a line and point me to it. I love, love, love my fave film blog reads, but, like any good addict, I just can't get enough, so bring on your film blogs! Drop me a line at kim(at)cinematical(dot)com ...
It's technically not a blog, I suppose, but MCN Voices has an excellent piece up by screenwriter Larry Gross...

Indie Film Blog Group Hug: The Fox Screening Kerfuffle and Harry Potter Embargo-Breaking
Filed under: Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, Horror, Independent, Film Blog Group Hug, Lists, Cinematical Indie Time once again for our weekly Indie Film Blog Group Hug, wherein we check in with other film blogs around the internet to see what other folks are writing about. One of these days, I want to throw a big party at my house and have all the other film bloggers from around the world converge in my living room to wax eloquent about all things film-related over chips and salsa, taquitos and icy-cold margaritas. Wouldn't that be a blast? In...

Filed under: Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Independent, Film Blog Group Hug, Lists, Cinematical Indie It's time to take a little peek around the world of indie film sites and see what other folks are talking about. We're going to be posting a regular Indie Film Blog Group Hug. Do you have a blog where you're writing about indie films, foreign films or docs?

A New Blog on the Block, MTV-Style
Filed under: Film Blog Group Hug  Oh great. Just what the world needs. Another lame-ass corporate-owned movie blog that doesn't know a freakin' thing about ... just kidding! We're actually quite happy to share the news that MTV Movies is now offering a brand spankin' new movie blog. Or at least I'm happy about it, and here's why: I'm a big fan of MTV's movie coverage. For the last year or so, they've done some really solid stuff. Aside from the clunky interface and long load times at the website, those guys do a damn good job with the scoops, the news and some consistently excellent interviews. So it's not like a "new"...

Film Blog Group Hug: A Whirlwind Tour of the Blog Universe
Filed under: Film Blog Group Hug, San Francisco International Film Festival, Cinematical Indie 
Some days I feel like I've spent entirely too much time reading film blogs instead of doing something more productive, like paying bills or watching movies or entertaining the cat . Sometimes I feel like I never spend as much time as I want reading film blogs, much less writing for them myself. For example, I regret I never made time to participate in the Shakespeare Blog-a-Thon listed below, and also that I haven't been able to read all the blog-a-thon entries yet. To lighten my feelings of guilt on all accounts, I figured...

Film Blog Group Hug: AFI Dallas 2007
Filed under: Film Blog Group Hug, Cinematical Indie, AFI Dallas  AFI Dallas is only in its first year, but the festival is gathering some good online press this week from a variety of sources. And the festival isn't over yet -- it continues through Sunday. Have you checked out Cinematical's coverage yet? The best blog to visit for photos and stories about AFI Dallas is the festival's own official blog, which is being updated frequently this week while the festival continues. The site includes a link to the already infamous video clip of filmmaker David Lynch (who attended a sold-out Inland Empire screening) being asked how he feels about...

Film Blog Group Hug: SXSW Rocks!
Filed under: SXSW, Film Blog Group Hug, Cinematical Indie 
I'm starting to think that I never should have read everyone else's blog entries about South by Southwest, because I'm envious of all the fun they're having and all the movies they liked that I haven't seen yet. I'm having a fabulous time, but Alan Cumming hasn't kissed me full on the mouth, and I missed the big Knocked Up premiere that everyone seemed to love. On the other hand, the festival's not over yet, so who knows what might happen?
Here are some of the reports coming in from SXSW about all...
