"Blog looks fabulous, just what the net needs: less about Michael Mann, more about Delbert Mann!""There is no better evidence of Joe's passion than his subject matter, defending and remembering the more obscure titles from cinematic history. No matter how much you think you might know about movies, odds are you will learn of new ones if you check out Joe's site.""Joe ... devotes himself to those myriad neglected figures and movies seemingly left by the roadside in our societal rush toward cultural amnesia. Whether he is trying to find the source of Jack Lemmon's quicksilver appeal or understand Vincente Minnelli's valedictory films or express just why we miss Jack Carson, Joe is consistently thoughtful and knowledgeable without being ponderous.""The title The Passionate Moviegoer is not an exaggeration. Joe is the real deal, covering films that have been overlooked for far too long.""Philly lives, Joe! Love your blog!"
