Richard Crouse (born May 26, 1963) is a Canadian film critic for CTV News Channel and CP24.[1]

Life and career

He was the film critic for Canada AM from 2005 until the show's cancellation in 2016. He hosted In Short on Bravo, was the host of Reel to Real from 1998 to 2008,[2] and was a regular pundit for Star TV's Best! Movies! Ever! and the host of The 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen on Rogers Television.[3]

In September 2017, his late night talk show Pop Life began airing on CTV, CTV News Channel, and Bravo.[4]

Books

He is also the author of several books on film and pop culture history including Big Bang, Baby,[5] The 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen,[6] and Rock and Roll Toronto: From Alanis to Zeppelin.[7] Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen[8] was published in September 2008 by ECW Press, and is a sequel to the 2003 book The 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen. The new book's check list of the best overlooked and underappreciated films of the last 100 years caters to fans of offbeat cinema, discriminating renters and collectors, and movie buffs.

Titles in Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen range from the obscure, like 1912's The Cameraman's Revenge, to El Topo's unusual existential remake of the classic western and little-seen classics like The Killing. Each essay features a detailed description of plot, notable trivia tidbits, critical reviews, and interviews with actors and filmmakers. Featured interviews include Billy Bob Thornton on an inspirational movie about a man with his head in the clouds, Francis Ford Coppola on One from the Heart and Mario Van Peebles on playing his own father in Badasssss! Sidebars feature quirky details, including legal disclaimers and memorable quotes, along with movie picks from a-list actors and directors.
