Dies at 100. Beloved movie critic and arts reporter was known for bushy hair and mustache and affection for groan-inducing puns. The Guardian: link |

Fun critic. When I agreed with him, he was great. When I didn't, not so much.
He reviewed Trading Places and noted that Jamie Lee Curtis "had a fine front porch". Good observation. |

Yeah, he was always fun. I also appreciate that he found a personal look he liked, and stuck with it. RIP, Mr. Shalit. |

He reviewed Trading Places and noted that Jamie Lee Curtis "had a fine front porch". Good observation. It was the 80s. She was topless in that one. So were a bevy of extras. |
