Frank's Movie Log

by Frank Showalter

Hi there, I'm Frank, a husband and father old enough to have sat wide-eyed during E.T's first theatrical run. Among my friends, I'm the designated “movie guy.” You know the type: First job at a video store. Knows his Hawks from his Fords.

This site began in 2003 when I got fed up with realizing halfway through yet another movie that I'd already seen it. I figured writing reviews would help. That, and my ego convinced me more than my friends would be interested in my opinions.

Twenty-plus years later, I'm still at it. Though my age is showing. I no longer realize halfway through movies that I've seen them before. Now I only discover it when I go to write a review and find I already wrote one fifteen to twenty years prior. Still, in an era of algorithms and marketing machines, this site offers something simpler: one person cataloging cinema, one film at a time.

New visitors should start with how I grade. Then browse my reviews. Looking for something that flew under the radar? Try my list of underseen gems. Feeling righteously contrarian? My overrated disappointments.

I also keep a viewing log that tracks everything I watch, whether it gets a full review or not, complete with stats. At my age, remembering what I've seen is as important as the seeing itself.

Finally, if you're curious about what's on my critical horizon, my watchlist details the films I plan to review and why they've caught my interest.
