filmicability gets the Dardos!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate my blog's one-year anniversary than to get cited for a blogging award--the Dardos--from one of my most treasured cohorts, Tony Dayoub over at Cinema Viewfinder. He said of me and the other four writers he cited: "These folks give me new insight into the world of cinema on an almost daily basis, and all are great writers to boot." To say the least, I'm
