About
Kino Reticulator is a blog about movies that I’ve watched. They are mostly Russian movies, and the usual excuse I give for watching them is that they help me learn the language. But there are also occasional posts about French movies, or others. And there are occasional posts about language-learning that don’t have anything to do with movies.
I call myself The Reticulator, (as well as The Spokesrider) but my real name is John Gorentz. I live near Battle Creek, Michigan, USA.
