Please Read This Before Submitting Your Lens! 

Our Topics:

The Armchair Critics accepts lenses about movies, film-making and artists. We love all things cinema!

Appropriate topics include movie reviews, cast and crew biographies, and movie trivia.



Our Guidelines:

Our purpose is to educate and share information about films and cinema. To ensure that our group lenses are of the highest quality, we do have some standards that we wish to maintain.

Here are some of the things we look for:

1) Lenses should contain at least two original written content modules that are related to our topic. We want to read about movies, not just look at the covers!

2) Lensmasters should have a detailed profile with Contact Me enabled. Remember that no one can view your email address directly.

Hi, Mortira! I hope my movie review lens isn't too specific... it's pretty obscure to be reviewing JUST the stunts! I'll understand if that's a little too narrow for your criteria.
