| Introduction | Steve has devoted much of his life to viewing and studying films. At last estimate, he had seen more than 15,000 motion pictures during a lifelong love affair with the cinema. An award-winning writer, film historian and movie critic, Steve's work has appeared in more than 50 newspapers and magazines, as well as online film sites including IMDb.com, Rotten Tomatoes.com and DVD Verdict.com. He received a master's degree in communication from the University of Virginia and a bachelor's degree with honors in journalism from Virginia Commonwealth University. He has a dangerous and evidently incurable addiction to B-movies, films noir and The Criterion Collection. Steve can also connect himself to Citizen Kane in three steps. |
