Favorite Film: City Lights
Favorite Actor: Humphrey Bogart
Favorite Actress: Jean Arthur
Favorite Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Mike Massie has been watching films since he was a small child - but unlike most kids, he's been watching them at a rate of nearly one per day for over 20 years. With that many films under his belt, he likes to think he has a comparably vast knowledge of motion pictures; and no doubt he does. Mike holds a degree in Computer Animation, works freelance as a graphic artist in his spare time (ArtofMassie.com), writes for two Arizona magazines, and is currently the Treasurer of the Phoenix Film Critics Society.

Joel holds an extensive knowledge in cinema and often prefers classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood and Foreign films. Joel is also a member of the Phoenix Film Critics Society, holds a degree in Computer Animation, writes for local magazines, and can conquer anyone at Words With Friends.

Chris Pandolfi - "The Tim Burton Expert"

Favorite Film: Little Shop of Horrors
Favorite Actor: Johnny Depp
Favorite Actress: Sigourney Weaver
Favorite Director: Tim Burton

Although Chris never officially studied film, film theory, or even journalism in college, his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Creative Writing has taught him to appreciate story, character, and the imagination – all aspects that apply to the movies, and if there’s anything his years of living in Los Angeles has guaranteed him, exposure to movies would be at the top of the list. He has always appreciated the art of filmmaking, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he began writing reviews on various websites for new releases. Still residing in LA, his reviews can be read at his website, www.atatheaternearyou.net. He’s also an editor-at-large for Popzara.com, where he goes by the alias Dr. Invisible.
