Barrie Maxwell |
I am a freelance writer who has written about classic films and DVD for The Digital Bits website (digitalbits.com) since 2002 when my Classic Coming Attractions column first appeared. Prior to joining The Bits, I contributed reviews and a regular classics column to the DVD Verdict review site. Over the past few years, I have also authored reviews of current films on Blu-ray, both as stand-alone items and in my High Definition Matters column. My film background includes university study of film history and theory as well as over 50 years of enthusiastic movie watching.
In the past, I had a lengthy career in Arctic climatology, heading up Canada's national climate applications program for the federal government as well as representing Canada in international Arctic climate research activities. After a period of consulting work in the same field, I now focus my energies on the above-mentioned writing about film on DVD and Blu-ray.
With my wife Sue, I have lived full time in Haliburton for the past three years. Desiring to become more involved in the community, I began volunteering at CanoeFM in the fall of 2009 as an on-air host - reading the news and subsequently hosting the Wednesday night Crooners program.
