Homepage of the Dead
A teenage devotee of classic horror fiction (Poe, Lovecraft, Howard), and the great Hollywood horror films and actors — Dracula, Frankenstein, Lugosi, Chaney, Karloff — ye Executive Director gave this interest up as an adult. So he was completely blindsided by George A. Romero's low-budget Night of the Living Dead, which he saw by chance at a late-night art-house cult-film showing in NYC in the late 1960s: the single scariest film he had ever seen. (And, along with Invasion of the Body Snatchers, perhaps the most political.) It remains preeminent, and inimitable — even by Romero, who produced two sequels and has just begun work on a fourth in the series. For info on all of them, we recommend Homepage of the Dead.

Between Fear & Commitment
Zachary Wigon, self-styled "man of letters," former student of Café regular Earl M. Coleman and now a film-maker, has launched his own blog. Could this become the next Cahiers du Cinéma?

Cahiers du Cinéma
Speaking of which, they're still at it across the Great Water. Here it is, in all its raging glory: auteur theory, Truffault, Belmondo, Signoret, Resnais, Robbe-Grillet, Sturges, Shoot the Piano Player, Godard Godard Godard . . . all in French, of course. They have the entire 55-year run indexed and available online. Zut alors!

Angry Alien Productions
Animator Jennifer Shiman and her Bunnies Theater Troupe offer a growing set of 30-second animated versions of classic films — The Shining, Jaws, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Titanic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show — featuring a cast of . . . cartoon bunnies. You need this. Really, you do.

Sundance Online Film Festival
Founded by Robert Redford, and now a well-established mecca for independent-film types — it's the Sundance Online Film Festival. You can even download clips (you'll need Windows Media Player and Flash, and you best bring a lunch) and vote on them.

Teen Movie Critic III
If you want to raise a generation of serious critics, start 'em young — and you've got to admire the kids' gumption: they take on Hollywood and pull no punches. Sure beats those all-thumbs dorks. First we had the original online Teen Movie Critic, Roger Davidson, who retired gracefully from his post when he turned 18, but whose early reviews remain archived and who now reviews as an adult under the byline The Other Roger. He passed the torch to Teen Movie Critic II, Vivian Rose, of Winslow, Arkansas, who took over when she was all of thirteen years old, She in turn has been replaced by Teen Movie Critic III, Mandy Heiser, a fifteen-year-old from Winetka, California. They grow up so fast. (Warning: None of them are fully licensed to use the apostrophe.)
