Film Monitor

This one’s pretty unique; ran across it at the 2008 Zine Fest deal at The Shady Tavern and was immediately impressed as hell. It’s teeny-tiny (literally only 8 pages, including the cover), but very nicely done, laid out well & a hell of a lot more legible than a ton of zines out there, but the best part is that it’s pretty much the only film zine I’ve ever seen in this city. Editor Francis Colo & his crew write intelligently and critically about films of all types, from the big-namers to intriguing-sounding movies I’ve never even heard of. The Film Monitor folks are also ridiculously prolific — since they started in February of this year, they’ve put out an issue for every month except March. Highly recommended.
