Manifesto

Welcome cinephiles, pop-culture wonks and general intellectual snobs. I am Jennifer Wright, and in this, my first blog, you have found your Jim Jones. Drink my Kool-Aid babies, it's so good. I will review a film, extrapolate the most relevant bits and discuss how it relates to the cultural Zeitgeist. Why, you ask, am I qualified to do this? I have spent most of my life involved in film, theater and criticism. As an English major I studied the great literary criticism of Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. I have worked for a major film production company and written and produced my own short film with my erstwhile writing partner, Marc. I have a degree from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and have acted in theater productions in Chicago and Los Angeles. But the real reason you should read my blog is my savant-like knowledge of film and my near hysterical passion for story. So please, take a break from your porn and your shopping and your things of this nature, and enjoy The Wright Report.
