A little background for those who are interested... I started doing movie reviews for a local
newspaper in 1985, then moved to a local magazine in 1993 where I continued to review movies for several years until they ceased publication. I love most genres of film, but to
answer the frequently asked question... my favorite film is 1972's "Sleuth" with Michael Caine
and Laurence Olivier. My favorite decade of filmmaking is the 1930's. And my favorite directors are Mike Figgis, Hal Hartley, Ridley Scott, and Peter Weir.
A list of the films I have given four stars to can be found here.
For those who are interested in knowing a little about how many movies film critics watch,
the average full-time critic views around 500 different films each year. Some view a little more, some a little less. Usually, those who view less, view several films more than once as they tend to write more in-depth and comparative articles rather than focusing on reviews.
I'm still in the process of adding my reviews to this site, it will
take awhile to get everything on, but you can check out what's there
