Fast Film Reviews

2015 was a great year for film. I know. I say this every year, but what can I say? I love movies. This was my third year as a member of the Online Film Critics Society.  The OFCS is the largest, most respected organization for movie critics whose work appears primarily on the Internet.  I must say I am as pleased with our choices as I have ever been.  I thoroughly enjoyed every movie we nominated for Best Picture.
