I'm an entertainment freak when you get down to it.

Movies have always been a love of mine, and here is a great place to share it all...I love everything from sappy love stories, to inane comedies, to movies where lots of things blow up, to documentaries (my favorite, actually).

Here is where I share all that with you...just a slice of the film world through this lens. Hope you enjoy!

Rotten Tomatoes!
This site takes reviews from print, internet and everything in between to make sure you have the most complete film reviews possible. If a movie fails the freshness test on this site, either pick another movie, or leave your brain at the door.
Internet Movie Database!
There is simply no other site in cyberspace that can compare with the great gobs of movie information on this site. If you're a movie hound, this site can keep you busy for days on end.
AFI's "100 Years, 100 Lists"
100 Lists...each featuring 100 movies that are the best in their category: comedy, drama, heroes, you name it. I don't always agree with AFI on their choices, but they seem to get it right most of the time. You'll probably want to see a lot of the films on these lists if you haven't already.

About Doy

Call me Doy. My name has a funny ring to it, no?

My name is a multilingual joke, apparently. In Spanish it means, "I give." In Romanian, it means "two." In Portuguese, it means, "pain." The Vietnamese word, "ka-doy" is apparently the name for the female sexual organ.

On the positive side, though, it has inspired some of my younger peers to spontaneous fits of creativity. An example, you ask?

"Doy was a boy. Doy had a toy. Doy fell down and broke his butt. Oy, oy, oy!" And this, people, from a first grader.

When you get down to it, I'm a muse of sorts.
