My brother is a writer and the editor for The Alternative Chronicle, a website for serious lovers of film and music. Writing from Los Angeles, many of the films reviewed may only be seen by the rest of us in some obscure video store after a very limited release, but that shouldn't dissuade you from visiting the site. The writing and film criticism is top notch, and in addition to excellent reviews of more familiar films like The Social Network, there's plenty you've never heard of to be discovered on their site.What pulled me to the site recently is their ongoing roll-out of a best in genre list of movie musicals. The introductory post can be found here, with upcoming lists from a number of the collaborating writers and a final, yet-to-be-released top 10 list. If you love musicals, you're sure to see some of your favorites along with some unknown to you. Besides the current musical list, the site serves to remind me that there is much more out there than the headlining blockbusters that are standard fare at your local movie theatre. Check out The Alternative Chronicle and see what great films you've been missing!
UPDATED: The list of top 10 musicals is now online here, as well as all the individual writers' personal lists.
