FAQ

Adam Ross is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, the No Critic Screenings State, and is the publisher of DVD Panache. Try as they might, no one has been able to convince Adam that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a dud, a scarier movie than Night of the Hunter has been made, or a better Christmas movie than Eyes Wide Shut exists. A native of Portland, Ore., Adam was raised by HBO and has never attempted to hide his bias for Sam Peckinpah, David Lynch of Dick Miller.
