Featured Essay: Come and See

Come and See2

"Film critics exist to inform and entertain the public; to separate the wheat from the chaff. Cole Smithey does so with expert brevity and style, imparting to his reader not only a vast knowledge of film, but his infinite passion for the movies."
Jen Yamato - Rottentomatoes Senior Editor  

"When it comes to cogent, engaging and provocative film criticism, Cole Smithey is without peers. Truly, Cole Smithey is my source for intelligent and entertaining film reviews." 
Phil Hall - author of "The Encyclopedia of Underground Movies," and "Independent Film Distribution."

"Cole Smithey tells me what I need to know about a movie: Does it fit into a broader social or political context? Is it fun? Is it worth $12 and several hours of my life? He's the only film critic I find indispensable." Ted Rall - editorial cartoonist, political columnist, and author.

"[Cole Smithey] might just be the smartest film critic in the world."
Chris Fuller - filmmaker
