Sad to see him go. I watched At the Movies all the time when I was growing up; and I respected his reviews. Of course, I didn't always agree with them.
I remember my impression of him changed when I learned that he had worked on the script of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and then again when I realized he had given the film Irreversible a glowing review. A very daring guy.
