Industry Communications or Media
Occupation Film Critic
Location United States
Introduction Life is simply one grand excuse to watch movies and then sit around and think about them. While my education was honed by reviewing films for Gannett, Tribune, McClatchy, The News Corporation and Knight-Ridder, my personality - or rather my taste - was shaped largely in my old neighborhood movie theater and on my parents' living room floor. Watching movies. And falling in love with the unacclaimed. Passionately.
Favorite Movies Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest & Marnie, Mervyn LeRoy's Gypsy, Billy Wilder's The Apartment, Vincente Minnelli's Some Came Running & The Cobweb, Peter Bogdanovich's At Long Last Love, Richard Quine's The Notorious Landlady, Hal Ashby's The Landlord and Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway

Foxes are clever and tigers are cunning. So, what's your cat's safety school?
