About ÜberCiné:

















ÜberCiné exists because Cinéma is almost the greatest art form in the world
so far. And yet Cinéma is overlooked nearly to the point of vanishing from
popular consciousness. If we don't do something about it -- IF WE DON'T
WRITE ABOUT MOVIES BEFORE PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THEM
FOREVER -- who will?

Gregory Weinkauf
(Creator, Writer, Executive Editor)
Gregory swooped into this dubious millennium like a flogged ruminant to
earn 1999's First Prize for Entertainment Reviews/Criticism/Column at
the Los Angeles Press Club's Southern California Journalism Awards.
(Succinct, ain't they? Thank you.) This was perhaps a fluke, but he waved
the trophy around a bit and continued writing about life-via-movies anyway,
as he's been doing since he was a wee bairn, thus here we are. Gregory
makes movies, has endured genuinely arduous media training, and holds an
actual degree in Cinéma (from USC). Gregory has worked in Hollywood
(and for pathetic little shit-weasels) -- and before that slaved in many, many
real jobs -- but is recovering nicely. Gregory delights in great and even good
Cinéma, yet he does not use words like "riveting" or "triumph" unless he is
joking, he suggests that terms like "alternative" and "independent" are quite
meaningless, and he encourages you to think for yourself. Rock on..

Michael Taylor
(Writer)
Michael Taylor is a finance attorney and a happily married father of three
living in suburban Chicago. He is a cinephile, but selectively so:  He skipped
all of the Godfather movies but owns a complete collection of Val Lewton
horror classics. He likes both mainstream movies and weirder fare, but
dislikes films steeped in cheap nihilism or smug attitudinizing (yes, American
Beauty, I'm talking about you!). He can be found every Sunday during
football season lounging on his couch watching his beloved Indianapolis
Colts. Michael always wanted to be a novelist, film director, screenwriter
and general creative auteur, but never did anything about it. Maybe one day
he will.

ÜberCiné
One of the
GUIDING PHILOSOPHIES
of ÜberCiné:

All movies are good,
but some movies are gooder than others.

Another one of the
GUIDING PHILOSOPHIES
of ÜberCiné:

Opinions are subjective;
they will evolve as we do.
However, one must say
what one really thinks --
for especially in America,
complex and contentious opinions
are as gold.

Welcome to the Goldmine, baby.
