Introduction Part III: Gumby


Gumby is an engineering student who in the last few years has become obssessed with film. He blames it all on a close friend who introduced him to the world of foreign films. Since then he has started to realize the majority of people have never heard of a lot of the films he talks about. Gumby is part of his university's film group where he spearheads the the screenwriters group. He is a fan of Ingmar Bergman and Fritz Lang and dislikes film remakes.

Introduction Part II: Imago

Imago is a third year Sociology and History student at the University of King's College in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Imago has always been interested in film and cinematography, but her love of films became intensified in high school when she partook in a trip to Serbia to film a documentary on the effects of the war on the children who lived through it. Since then she has worked with a local film maker in Halifax and is currently the Vice President of her Universities film makers group. Imago loves to watch classic horror films, back when they used to be psychological thrillers rather than slasher pics, and has an ongoing love affair with Bela Lugosi. Imago's taste in movies is diverse, but she generally doesn't like contemporary horror flicks, so please don't take offense if you're a fan. Imago loves movies, reading, diet coke and her ferret. She dislikes pretentious art students, cold weather and alarm clocks.

It's pronounced im-ah-go

Introduction Part I: Cias

Cias is a student in her second year of undergraduate study at the University of Toronto where she studies philosophy and theology. In junior high Cias watched The Royal Tenebaums and decided that she could get away with pretending to know how to appreciate movies. She has been doing this up to this day, and will continue to do this in this blog. Cias doesn't know much about movies beyond what she sees with her eyes and thinks with her brain. For this reason, her reviews will be coming from an uninformed and unexperienced mind; so please don't be offended if you thought Twilight was the film event of the year and she disagrees with you, she probably just doesn't know what she's talking about. Cias loves Catholicism, the Office, movies, sarcasm, and Oxford commas. She dislikes dogs, theatre, and Roger Ebert.

It's pronounced chai-iss.
