Brian Champagne has created a mini-documentary every day for the last 20 years. Some might say that television news doesn't constitute any sort of documentary, but some people are just cranky that way. He claims his work in television news contained far more truth than anything Michael Moore has ever produced. Brian has worked at NBC, ABC, Fox, and CBS affiliates. Most of his work was behind the camera, but he has done on-camera work in Sacramento, Calif. and Salt Lake City, Utah. He served as Chief Photographer for Fox in Sacramento where he tried to keep the photo staff happy, while not necessarily annoying management. Brian earned his Master's Degree in Communications from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and he now teaches television news journalism at Utah State University. He still works for all Salt Lake network affiliates on a freelance basis. His current favorite movies are “Groundhog Day,” at which he marvels at how efficient it must have been to make, and “Blues Brothers,” at which he marvels at how expensive it must have been to make.

5.) Luke Hickman, Film Critic for The Reel Place.com and High-Def Digest.com

2010-08-29T14:37:00.001-07:00

Luke Hickman grew up in the nasty desert town of Hesperia, Calif. Because there is obviously nothing good to do in the desert, Luke wasted his childhood watching television and movies. He was one of those nerds who watched Siskel and Ebert, even though two-thirds of the movies reviewed would never open in a theater near him. From a very young age, Luke always said he would be a film critic when he grew up. As time went on, because it seemed like a goal too far to reach, Luke explored more rational career options. After changing his major several times at Utah Valley University, he decided to study all the film he could (at a school without a film program) and go for it. It was there that he began reviewing movies for the student newspaper, The College Times (now known as the UVU Review), and eventually had the great pleasure of geeking out movie-style with Jason Pyles. Upon graduating in 2008, Luke began looking for a way to review films professionally. While covering the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Luke met fellow aspiring university film critic Aaron Peck. Shortly thereafter, the two created their own site called The Reel Place (www.thereelplace.com) and began looking for other credible outlets to work for while building the site. (Because of the quickly climbing success of The Reel Place, Luke and his trusty team are putting more into the site than ever, including contests and giveaways for free Blu-rays and passes to advance screenings to some of the hottest movies — so check it out!) Luke teamed up with the Talking Pictures television show hosts Rich Bonaduce and Tony Toscano and created the Talking Pictures Podcast, which has ceased production of new episodes. Also, he later landed a weekly spot reviewing movies on The Stubbs Show, a radio program on 101.5 The Eagle, Salt Lake City, KEGA. Most recently Luke was commissioned to write reviews for theatrical coverage on High-Def Digest.com. (Luke's photo is displayed courtesy of Mark Johnston.)

Bill Barnes, Former Host of the Considering the Sequels Podcast

2010-06-10T23:07:00.001-07:00

Bill Barnes hails from West Virginia. He likes movies. He likes watching them most of all when they're in theaters, but most of the time his TV and BD player have to suffice. Bill thinks that nothing is better, though, than watching in a darkened cinema with a bag of buttery popcorn in one's lap. Bill has known Jason since the 5th grade. Jason was Bill's nemesis, thanks to a cute girl with a southern accent. Bill and Jason soon learned, however, that their mutual loves for all things Billy Joel, G.I.Joe, and Nintendo were more powerful than a 12-year-old's hormones, and a lifelong friendship blossomed. Andy was a stranger to Bill until June of 2010. Bill isn't sure how Andy feels about The Stranger, Snake-Eyes, or Darknuts. Bill enjoys other things besides movies. He likes playing softball, singing and playing guitar in church on Sundays, watching Pittsburgh's professional sports teams (even the Pirates), and especially spending time with his wife and three kids. Bill's favorite movies are the ones he grew up watching and re-watching. He also loves more recent movies, particularly when they make him laugh, think, choke up, or learn. Bill loves trivia and facts, but he will defend opinion vigorously. Bill does not like writing autobiographically in the 3rd person. Bill was a host of the Considering the Sequels podcast for Episode 1 and Episode 2, and he returned as a guest on Episode 12.

Andy Howell, Host of the Considering the Sequels Podcast

2010-06-10T19:51:00.001-07:00

Andy Howell has absolutely no formal education in film studies. His opinions are likely to be based on things like "feelings" and "opinions" without reference to any actual principles of cinematography or film study. He says he simply likes watching movies. He also is a little bit of a "know-it-all," and he is a self-described curmudgeon. Andy has strong opinions about lawyer movies (because he thinks he is one), and he does not seem especially fond of most comic book movies (which will make discussing sequels very fun for him). He also enjoys kayaking, rock climbing, cycling, mountain biking and playing softball. He has a wonderful family, and he lives in Utah. Andy also writes for the Considering the Cinema blog, where he discusses unusual films.

Jason Pyles, Host of the Considering the Sequels Podcast

2010-05-30T21:37:00.000-07:00

Jason Pyles began writing film criticism in 2005. From 2006 to 2008, he wrote movie reviews for The College Times newspaper at Utah Valley State College in Orem, Utah, where he completed a book-length thesis titled "Achieving Genuine Movie Criticism: The Motive of an Artist." He also wrote movie reviews in 2007 for Flix Club, a video store in Utah that rented and sold edited movies. In 2008 Jason wrote movie reviews on political films for Scoop08.com. Jason and Andy Howell began the Considering the Cinema discussion blog in July 2008, and they're still reviewing unusual films there about every two weeks. Later in '08, Jason began writing mini- and full-length movie reviews for The Intelligencer and the Wheeling News-Register newspapers in his hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia, until 2010, when he returned to Salt Lake City, Utah, and began the Considering the Sequels podcast. For the past few years Jason has maintained his formal Considering the Cinema movie review blog, which for the moment, lies dormant. He says his film criticism heroes are Roger Ebert and Stanley Kauffmann, and his inspirational influences are Cody Clark; Dr. Rick Moody; Luke Hickman; and David Chen, Devindra Hardawar and Adam Quigley of the /Filmcast. And despite relentless abuse and persecution, he still says his all-time favorite film is M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" (2004).
