Coleman’s Corner in Cinema from Alexander Coleman is one of the more original film blogs on the Web. His substantial essays on important films are fascinating reading.
Noiristas will find his reviews of these major films noir particularly rewarding:
The Big Combo (1955)
The Big Heat (1953)
The Narrow Margin (1952)
Out of the Past (1947)
Point Blank (1967)
Thieves’ Highway (1949)
Vertigo (1958)

I second that motion~ I think because of Coleman’s “keen insightfulness” after viewing the films it is reflected in his writing(s) of “past” and “current” films on his blog.
Tks,
dcd ;)
Thank you greatly for this most touching endorsement of my humble Internet home, and enumeration of the film noirs I have tackled at Coleman’s Corner, Tony.
Well deserved Alexander – I should have thought of doing it sooner.
Thank you again.
And thank you, Dark City Dame, as well, for the very kind words.
This is a magnificent endorcement and one that is well-earned. I know both Alexander and Tony shared some mighty discourse back at Noir Month, and Alexander’s marathon essays were the true highlight of the series and the subject for insightful commentary. This is a great idea, and I hope many will treat themselves to this truly great film criticism. It’s hard to pick a favorite–they’re all great–but I would guess Alexander wore his heart on his OUT OF THE PAST review. Enjoy, noir fans!

If you call intellectually unrestrained, dense and heartless writing original, good for you.
