Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.

Hello, it's me, Charles again. Bob Ignizio, esteemed founder of this website, was supposed to do this review of Sergei Eisenstein's classic BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN But Mr. Ignizio confessed he had no fresh take about this legendary, almost transcendent work of cinema. More pressingly, he wife went into labor with their first child. So the review is delegated to me...In other words I am in COMPLETE control here. Attica! Attica! No justice, no peace! Attention passengers, this is a hijack! This blog is going to Havana, Cuba! I have absolute power and can say anything I please. What I quite desire is revenge on people who have hurt me. Or, through inaction, have allowed hurt to come upon me (back when I used to hang out with left-wing artists and similar bad company a drunken gang of local Democrats laughed and said I talk like a robot; it's only fair I get to invoke Isaac Asimov).
