Our dear friend Phil Blanchard died on Friday. He was 65. Phil contributed nine reviews to this site over the years, mainly under the heading "So I Don't Have To" -- he handled the pulpy action films (often featuring men in tights and capes) that I shunned. You can find them compiled here.
Phil was a journalism mentor, father figure and one of the most caring friends a person could have. An ordinary superhero. He was the longtime proprietor of Testy Copy Editors, and there is a tribute to him at the site's current home on Facebook.
