Karina

Karina Longworth blogs about film at Spout.com. She co-founded the film blog Cinematical in March 2005, whilst simultaneously completing an MA in Cinema Studies at New York University, and working at a pasta factory to pay the rent. Cinematical has been heralded by Roger Ebert, and cited by The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter; Karina's illustrious career in food production is on hold indefinitely. She is a frequent conference panelist and pop culture commentator, and has contributed to programs produced by AMC and NPR. Karina has also been known to wear a trench coat and listen to a lot of Mel Torme -- kind of like Harry Anderson on "Night Court", but without all the street magic. Check out her personal blog at vidiocy.com.
