John Barbour isn't beholden to any network or its advertisers, so he can hate or love anything he pleases and tell you why. He's one of the wittiest critics whose reviews sometimes got him in hot water; however, having had an abusive mother and absentee father, being a high school dropout, and deported back to Canada at 17 years old, angering studio heads didn't concern John, which you'll soon discover.
But what happened to all those reviews? John went into a trunk in his garage and hit pay dirt, finding all those issues with his byline where he informed readers about classics such as Network, Grease, The Sting and so many others.
In The Greatest Reviews I've Ever Read, come along with Carol Hoenig as she discusses with John some of the best (and worst) films to ever grace the silver screen!
Carol Hoenig is President of Carol Hoenig, Publishing Consultant, Inc. and the author of Without Grace, Of Little Faith, and The Author's Guide To Planning Book Events. Her essays, articles, book reviews and short stories appear in a wide number of publications.
