Chris (formerly Hawk Ripjaw) has been sharing his opinion on film and TV since his early teens, when the local public library gave away prizes for submissions to their newsletter. 

Since then, he's been writing for local newspapers, international video game sites, booze-themed movie websites, and anywhere else he can throw around some media passion. He watched the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat movie over 50 times in two years, over a dare that evolved into an obsession.
