Leith Skilling, the reviewer at large, has a fresh and exciting take on the usual Hollywood tinsel tripe. He loves movies and it shows, but he isn't afraid to be harsh about new releases, and even some old classics. His background in the arts and his clear and concise writing style make every post a heck of a lot of fun to read!
