John V
I’m a life-long movies & music buff, as well as a voracious reader. I've always wanted to share my knowledge of & enthusiasm for film, music and books in written form. On this blog, you might read my musings on movies from the 1930s to the present, Japanese monster films, science-fiction and horror tales, noir thrillers, classic & current TV shows, music from a variety of genres, or books that I think are worth reading. Thanks for checking out Eclectic Avenue! You can also find my writing at www.culturesonar.com, an excellent arts & entertainment website, where I'm a regular contributor.
