Horsley seems to arrive from out of nowhere, yet here he is - an almost fully
developed and only slightly stoned sensibility."

What
the critic said:
"Jake Horsley seems to arrive from out of
nowhere, yet here he is - an almost fully-developed and only slightly stoned
sensibility. This hothead fantasist offers the excitement of a wild, paranoid
style. He lives in the movies, explodes them from the inside, and shares his
fevered trance with us. But he doesn't lose his analytic good sense. He's not
just a hothead, he's a hardhead, too. Maybe he could
use more humor, but couldn't we all? (Intelligent
movie criticism is being swamped in seriousness.) He's a marvelous
critic. Tackling a new movie, he'll hang in there until he's balanced and
sound. It's always a surprise."
