Welcome

Welcome to Cinephiles and Melomaniacs: the exclusive blog that hopefully will be co-authored by Lenny Ginise and Michael Pettinari should Mr. Pettinari choose to accept my invitation for him to write on this blog. In case you are unfamiliar with the terms used in the naming of this blog, a cinephile refers to one who has an extraordinary passion for film and a melomaniac refers to one who has an extraordinary passion for music. A long time ago, Mr. Pettinari and myself decided that it would be a great idea to write a blog together so as to combine our love for film and music all into one bold and ambitious piece of kick-ass commentary. Mr. Pettinari would take on the reins of writing about music whereas I would tackle the expanding realm of cinema. I would like to think that our goal with this blog is to not only further our desire to pursue careers in writing about film and music, but to also engage and educate you, dear readers, about the worlds of cinema and music. As I said above, I hope Mr. Pettinari accepts my invitation in the coming days so that both of us can get started on this right away and also so Mr. Pettinari himself can welcome you himself. In the mean time, stay tuned because there is certainly more to come later on.
