About Andrew_Hicks
Andrew Hicks, 22, is a recent graduate of the MU School of Journalism. He has been writing film reviews on the Internet since 1993 and also maintains the web's only regularly updated music video review site, eMpTyV. His favorite films include Blazing Saddles, Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, The Big Kahuna and Fargo, and he leaves the room when any Barbra Streisand movie comes on. Andrew is also working on his first book, Senioritis, a humorous non-fiction account of his senior year in college.

And, it should be noted, Andrew is looking for any paying writing gigs that might come his way. A little more legitimate work, and he may even stop referring to himself in the third person.


NEWEST

Madonna's Music
Almost Famous
Nurse Betty
Saving Grace


NOTE: I was all but forced to remove my controversial Teen People review (which spawned 90 comments and at least five editorials -- three for and two against), which was not a difficult task because, a) everyone has already read it and, b) it doesn't exactly represent my best work. Nevertheless, it will be archived off-site. Further details later.

ALSO, check out my work (and that of several other fine Epinionators) in Donlee Brussel's hip-hop song write-off and Knix's tribute to Sir Alec Guinness.


WADING THROUGH MY 500I'm slowly continuing my longstanding project at Epinions, a potentially unhealthy one that threatens to overwhelm me. Long story short, I'm reviewing every CD in my bloated collection -- albums I purchased from 1990 to today -- in alphabetical, chronological order by artist. Every day, I hope to post at least one new review, and maybe I'll be up to the C's by December. I've slogged my way through the Beatles catalogue with reviews of Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles For Sale and Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road and Let it Be. Reviews of the Past Masters and Anthology albums will come over the next week, and then it's finally on to Beck. Like the purging of M2's video archives this year, the A-Z project will run the length of 2000, to say the least. I may be a completely different person when I finish; I may be pushing age 40, but it's going to be interesting. Click here for the full details.
