Another recent arrival to the CR staff as of February 2002, O. R. Polk Jr comes here with a history of writing excellent DVD reviews, often of obscure movies. Anyone can review the blockbusters, but not everyone can review an unknown flick and persuade the audience to see it. Decide for yourselves if O. R. Polk Jr is one of those few, but his presence here means I've already decided he is. He'll contribute his DVD reviews here, as well as branching off into other areas as he sees fit. Any feedback you have for Mr Polk can be directed to the man himself.
