The web page Cinema Scope expands the frame on international cinema. This web page offers many articles on upcoming international films. These articles are all on contemporary films, which are primarily independent.
Cinema Scope’s synopsis on Waiting For Sancho talks about the new film based on the biblical story of The Three Kings. The film is an experimental film, based on improvisation of a 30-page outline. This work is exhibited with pictures, a short synopsis and a short clip from the film.
Richard Porton’s review on the film Happy-Go-Lucky discusses how this film seems strained in the synthesis of gags and melodrama. The film seems to only focus on nothing more than everyday life and “is more of an idealized sketch of a Free Spirit than a believable human being” (Porton). The film portrays Poppy as an upbeat, free spirit who strives to look on the bright side of things.
The website seems to review more experimental films unlike the popular films of Hollywood. The site allows you to browse through their many articles some on films, some on art features and others on interviews with artists and directors. The website gives you an insight on more unique, less popular films.

Ally -
As an introduction to Cinemascope this is fine. But as a post for this class, you writing here is too merely descriptive and just a start of a summary at that. On a couple of fronts, I'd like to hear more from you.
For the next blog you only need to detail one article and I would choose one that engages you, provokes you. Because, in addition to a more thorough summary of the article read, or of one aspect of the article read, I also would like to hear more of your voice, more of your engagement with the article. What are you thoughts on the topic pursued? on the author's opinion? of the media making or art making issues that are being discussed? What is your take?
You final post should be a balance of what the article is up to and the thoughts the article stimulates. I need to hear more - about your reading, and about your thinking.
So be sure to select an article from all of your reading that stimulates you, prompts your thoughts and then take the time - you may need to take more time for this -- to explore and share your thoughts on it in the final blog.
Get back to me with any questions, and I look forward to your post.
