(1966 – ) American journalist & film critic

This book fills a much-needed gap.

Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours…

(1942 – 2013) American film critic, journalist & screenwriter

Her only flair is in her nostrils.

(1919 – 2001) American film critic

The Road to Wellville… is basically a… production of a Benny Hill episode.
