Christopher Campbell fluctuates between the inclinations to be a pretentious film snob and a fanboy defending blockbuster fluff. He dislikes press screenings because they don't serve popcorn, and he dislikes regular movie theaters because they don't serve GOOD popcorn. He holds a B.A. in film studies from Brooklyn College, which he acquired more than a decade late, having spent his 20's as a film school drop out thumbing his nose at academia. A year prior to going back to school, though, he quit his job in film exhibition (read: popcorn stand manager at a multiplex), moved from Connecticut to NYC and began reviewing and blogging for Cinematical. Other publications he's written for, prior and since, include The Reeler, Where Y'At New Orleans? and READ Magazine. His dream is to one day open a Drafthouse-type cinema in Brooklyn and simply enjoy watching and sharing movies for the rest of his life.

Early this year we featured a list of franchises in need of a genre change.
