Nick Nicholson and Danny Minton finally went and gave form to something I've been idly bitching about for a while now: a Houston Film Critics Society:
The Houston Film Critics Society is a not-for-profit, unincorporated voluntary organization of print, broadcast, and internet film critics based in the Greater Houston metropolitan area that meet its membership criteria. Its purposes include:
+ Encouraging the publication and broadcasting of substantive critical commentary on film, and cooperation among those regularly engaged in film criticism in the region
+ Increasing public awareness and appreciation of cinematic excellence
+ Recognizing extraordinary accomplishment in film through the selection of annual recipients of Houston Film Critics Awards and the publicizing of those awards
+ Honoring both current and former distinguished members of the Association and their contributions to the Association's mission
Nick and Danny were kind enough to ask me to be one of the founding members. We'll see how long it is before they rethink the wisdom of that decision.
Meanwhile, here's my Bourne Ultimatum review. I seem to be one of the few people who felt it was inferior to Supremacy.
