Greetings, LaMovBloggers:
I have some personal news to report. I’m leaving The Shreveport Times Oct. 20 and will miss covering the movie industry as a journalist. This blog has been one of my favorite projects. Whatever news and entertainment I’ve presented here has been fun to gather.
I deeply appreciate your contributions to LaMovBlog – be it as reader, commenter or source. I’ll especially miss being pummeled in the annual Oscar contest by Chris-Brad. Good times!
All of you have helped turn this little corner of the Web into a rewarding place. For that, I thank you kindly.
I’m not venturing far. Beginning Oct. 26, 2009, I will join the Robinson Film Center as the director of community outreach and a media educator. That means I will remain very involved in the local film industry.
Farewell for now. I’ll see you at the movies very soon.
Alexandyr

My biggest movie theater pet peeve is:
Pruitt Taylor Vince talks 'Burn This'
Veteran TV and movie actor Pruitt Taylor Vince returns to the stage in the LSUS production "Burn This." Check out the audio slideshow.
Movies on Main Street
The Spring Theatre in Springhill offers residents one movie per week on its single screen. Talk about your nostalgia for a simpler era of movie-going. Check out the audio slideshow.

It won't be the same without you and LaMovBlog, Alexandyr...
Although, maybe the RFC will let you keep a little blog where I can go for the four-peat.
With all sincerity, I wish you the best of luck.
Chris-Brad
Bummer. Is someone taking over for you?
Yes, I also hope you'll be able to keep a little blog. LaMovieBlog is/was one of my favorite blogs on the web. I'll look forward to seeing you at the RFC. Au revoir À Bientôt
Thank you for this blog.It helps me keep tabs with local movie happenings. You did a great service and it disheartens me to see you go. I hope that Chris Jay gets you to maybe put up an RFC blog to keep tabs with the movie industry. Best o luck
Congratulations!
Congrats on the new position, but it will be sad not to have you running the blog as a news source. I hope you try and keep it going or start another one soon. Good luck with the new position.
