Jonathan Lewis came into the world during Chapter 37 of 'War and Peace," which his mother had been reading at the time she went into labor. (She never did finish the book). A highly allergic kid, he claimed asthmatic distress and successfully managed to miss an entire year of school, staying at home to watch movie musicals on television instead. Doris Day proved such an inspiration that Jonathan became an actor, first appearing as a milk bottle in a second grade stage play entitled "Healthy Foods."His dubious 25-year acting career included such ignominious highlights as surviving a 400-lb. steel bar falling on his head during a production of "The Music Man" and playing Barney the Beaver in a chain saw commercial. A character actor cursed with the body, face and voice of a song-and-dance man, he finally gave up "acting at all costs"for the rewarding pursuits of an impoverished writer. A film critic since 1996, Jonathan loves his job, especially when there"s a movie musical to see, despite his constant worry that his formerly firm dancer's butt is spreading out as wide as a couch.

Pam and George Singleton might describe themselves as "citizen"film reviewers, approaching movies with the enthusiasm of being fans first and then offering their opinions as critics. Reel Movie Critic began 10 years ago. It is an association of six film critics, whose reviews are edited and published by Pam and George at reelmoviecritic.com, which publishes an average of 4-6 reviews each week. George is a true romantic at heart and Pam is always on the lookout for the metaphysical take on things. And though both prefer character driven films and a great mystery, they come together to enjoy the fun of "Casino Royale,"the spectacle of "The Lord of the Rings"trilogy, or the epic storytelling of the 2006 six-hour masterpiece"Best of Youth."George and Pam are dedicated to passing along the recognition that we humans are more alike than we are different by encouraging others to be entertained by films that explore our experiences through what they call "conscious cinema."
