Lisa Schwarzbaum is a famous American movie critic who wrote criticisms for
Entertainment Weekly for about 20 years before her retirement in 2013. She grew up in Queens, New York and started her career in Boston by writing classical music criticism. Magazines she wrote for include
Vogue,
The Boston Globe, and
The New York Times Magazine.
Over the years, she has written numerous criticisms on movies that can still be found online today. Almost 2,000 of her reviews can be found on MetaCritic as well as RottenTomatoes and IMDB. Not to mention that her publications in newspapers such as
The New York Times and
The Washington Times are still available for the public.
The reason why I like Lisa Schwarzbaum as a movie critic is because while she is versatile, we share similar movie tastes. Fantasy movies are typically some of her favorites as they are mine, so we generally agree on if a movie is bad or not. Because of our similarities, I rely on her criticisms to determine whether or not I will see a movie in theaters or wait until it comes out on Netflix.
Lisa Schwarzbaum's writing style is also very admirable and keeps readers interested in what she has to say. Her phrasing and explanations are clear and concise, which I prefer when reading criticisms on anything. All in all, Schwarzbaum is one of my go-to critics because of our similarities and her concise writing style.
