Are you tired of film reviews from snobby, out-of-touch writers who seem out of touch with the real world?
Do you chuckle every time you read the newspaper and see yet another sell-out film critic and quote whore shouting out the merits of Hollywood's worst films?
Wouldn't you just love to find a film critic who helps you decide if a film is right for you rather than just making the decision for you?
Are you looking for a different kind of film critic? A film critic just like you...a film critic who loves film, won't steer you wrong, will help you find hidden gems and whose writing is as entertaining as it is informative?
