How This Blog Started
- A Movie Watchdog
- This blog started as a movie log way back in 2003. About 20% of the movies I watch makes it to these pages, the rest are gobbled up by my powerful Procrastinator machine. I, the author of the blog hides under a fictional profile called Different Drummer. But please don't misunderstand that I am an authority on drums. I won't be able to tell a snare drum from a bass drum and the only drums I've ever owned are ear-drums. Nor am I any different from any of you. It is just a name. For more, read the About page.
