Introduction

Hi. I’m Matthew Nicol. This is the Cult – my blog about movies.

 

I love movies. I’m sometimes fanatical about them. I spend a lot of my spare time and money watching them. Even b-grade movies can be awesome, despite their low budgets and review scores.

 

I like the far off places I get to go to when I watch movies. Sometimes into history. Sometimes into the mind of a surrealist writer or director. I like turning bad acting performances into little in-jokes among my circle of friends, and I enjoy speculating on what just happened when the director has left it up to me to do so.

 

I don’t really have any credentials. I don’t consider myself to be an expert on movies. I love to watch them, and I know what I like. That’s about as far as it goes. I’ll be talking about movie issues and trends on this page, and hopefully sharing a bit about the cinema that I enjoy best.

 

I hope you’ll stick around.
