Welcome All!

Hellllooo!

I would like to welcome you to the High Horse Blog, a place where I get to sit on my pulpit and spout my opinions without any interruption - comments, you see, will always be a lesser font than posts.

This blog is for movies, t.v., sports, theatre, music, politics, and whatever the Hell else I feel like spouting about. I also consider it a sister blog- or I guess I should call it a brother blog...- to lovehatehorror.blogspot.com, which is written by a friend of mine who will likely review many of the same movies. Hope you'll check it out as well.

Before I get on my high horse and start my blabbing (sometimes shooting from the hip, and sometimes with essays I've taken some time to prepare), I should give you a little info about me:

I'm a Cincinnati native exiled to Chicago, where rent is much higher but careers in the theatre arts are supposedly much more numerous. Having been in the arts my whole life in myriad capacities, I've amassed what I like to think is a wealth of knowledge, as well as what most certainly are a wealth of opinions. I'm a theatre actor and director primarily, and so many of the reviews I write will approach shows and movies from this perspective.

I've been told that a critic should approach things with three questions in mind:
  1. What am I seeing?
  2. How well is it being done?
  3. Was it worth doing?
If I am ever lucky enough to develop some sort of readership I hope you will tell me if I begin to stray from that.

Also, though I am often hard on what I critique, I have the utmost respect for artists and would like to think that my writings reflect that. I know it's just a blog, but I want to try my best to uphold some sense of integrity. Please hold me to that as well.

But that shouldn't be a problem for my first review. It is most definitely positive.

Thanks for reading!
