Noted film critics Laura Frank Clifford and Mack Bates join Movie Addict HQ on May 14th for a preview of 2013 summer movie offerings. With over 100 new films opening during the summer months, many fans need help in deciding which movies deserve their attention -- so Laura and Mack will share their suggestions. Laura co-hosts Reeling: The Movie Review Show, which has been broadcast at the Malden, Massachusetts, cable access television station since 1991. She belongs to the Broadcast Critics Association and the Online Film Critics Society. Mack contributes freelance articles to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and serves as a staff blogger for Milwaukee Magazine’s official film blog. He is currently working on a short film script he wrote earlier in the year and hopes to film it sometime in 2013. He also has plots in place for five other narrative-driven shorts, a thesis for a short documentary, and a 13-part web series.
