Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Collected Movie Reviews of Cyril P. Drathmoor blog, sponsored by the "Boys" at Bleeding Skull.com.
Back in 2002, I was given access to some rather fascinating material pertaining to a book I was researching. The Material consisted of the collected papers of a man named Cyril P. Drathmoor. I was asked to go through several thousand pages of notes, diary entries, drafts and newspaper clippings to see if there was anything worth publishing.
There was.
I spent one year assembling a book entitled The Collected Movie Reviews of Cyril P. Drathmoor. The man had written a movie review column for a small paper for one year and most of the movies he reviewed were of great interest to me. I presented the memoir/ book to the publishers and, due to endless legal issues to dull to go into even on a blog, the book ended up sitting unpublished for most of the decade.
Until now...
I have been given permission by the Estate to serialize the contents of the book on this blog over the course of 2011. So, once a week, there will be a new entry containing (generally) one of Cyril's reviews. Mr. Drathmoor has his own special "Reviewing Voice" and he was a big influence on me. I'm honored to present the work of this obscure but fascinating man to you.
Please enjoy.
