Accolades!

(Acidemic voted one of 'The Top Film Criticism Sites" on FILM COMMENT) Matthew Connolly:

"Kuersten’s runaway-train sentence structure and off-the-cuff humor result in some singular insights. (...) following the snaking paths of his musings proves quite rewarding, not least for the way he intertwines the analytical with the personal."

Kim Morgan at MSN:
"Erich Kuersten is one of my top five favorite bloggers, a swaggering intellectual wit/real thinker who will shout to the highest heavens/throw down for a movie or actor or director he loves, making his prose ultra-vivid and genuinely exciting among so many drab, by-the-book movie writers."

Nathaniel R. at Film Experience:
"Brilliant and twisted..."

Danny Leigh at The Guardian:
"superb."

Paul Gallagher at Dangerous Minds:

Kuersten is one of those rare original and essential writers who really should have a book of his articles published -- nuff said

David Del Valle at Camp David:
"one of the finest film journalist’s in the business… THE ACIDEMIC FILM JOURNAL is a must for anyone who loves cinema..."

Ken Hanke at Scarlet Street:
Erich Kuersten is never less than fascinating and thought-provoking... He is something I often hear about and yet rarely if ever see: a genuinely fresh voice.

Jeremy Richey at Moon in the Gutter:
"..one of the most talented and creative writers on film working in the world today."

D.K. Holm at Nocturnal Admissions:
"Witty and dead-on"

Matthew Coniam at Carfax Abbey
"...a one-of-a-kind mix of the arcane and the passionate. (Erich is) crazy and he’s sane, and he,,, might even be, as Bela Lugosi describes himself in The Raven, “the sanest man who ever lived”..."

Stacie Ponder at Final Girl:
"Erich Rules!"

Mission Statement

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piercing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
- H.P Lovecraft

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
-Hunter S. Thompson
