About Me

Michael J. Ruhland
Hello I'm Film Blogger, Michael J. Ruhland. I research and write about a wide variety of films ranging from the silent era to modern day and everywhere in between. Film is an incredible art form, and I am more than happy to share its history, artistry and magic with you. I stand by the old adage, "Movies are your best entertainment."
