Bio: Chris graduated with a degree in Film and TV Production, and currently works in the software industry. This is his second attempt at becoming an entertainment critic, after a failed attempt in the late 1990’s. The new and improved Chris has been writing for the past two and a half years at a fast and furious pace, with somewhere in the realm of 1000 reviews covering film, television, and music. If he could only watch five movies for the rest of his life, they would be Star Wars, The Crow, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Kill Bill. If he could only listen to five bands: Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Warren Zevon, Insane Clown Posse, and David Bowie. Five television shows: Farscape, Battlestar Galactica, Scrubs, Seinfeld, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All choices subject to change without notice.
