Jim Colvill is a freelance editor and publisher based in New York
City. He publishes books on cinema with The Film Desk.
“Film fans will love this massive compendium of intellectually savvy reviews from the long-defunct New York Press. With great research and effort, editor Colvill has brought together more than 200 long-form film reviews and essays from the “raucous, drunken, snotty and punk rock” NYPress, as former staffer Jim Knipfel describes it in his highly informative introduction... Literate and reflective, these reviews rival those by more famous critics like Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris.” —Kirkus Reviews
