THE IDEA
cinemetrics is about measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.

Adam Curtis, the man behind doc films The Power of Nightmares, The Trap and most recently Machines of the Loving Grace has a fascinating blog where he publishes articles about current affairs, punctuated with footage from the BBC archive. Check out his most recent post which includes a short film about Cecial King, the original Rupert Murdoch. Scary stuff!

Also this is a good blog from film and music reviews:
