Mike Crowley and Site Info

A lot has changed since this initial bio. I started YPA as a semi passion. Now it blossomed into a true review hub. All the latest blockbusters and art house flicks are covered here, from written reviews to podcast discussions and YouTube material. You can find more of my material at 25yearslater when I'm not posting here.

Never did I think I wanted to be a critic. That changed when I interned on Ebert Presents At The Movies. My perception of the curmudgeon snob critic had changed. I learned from watching movies, especially with the same people, how criticism isn't about finding the flaws but the beauty in art. When art fails, the critic suggests how it can be improved so the artist can hone their craft. Like working any job, you don't get good at it until you've done it for a while. I continue to hone the craft of critique each day.

The idea of You'll Probably Agree is to create a fun environment where people can hang out and talk about movies; what better place to resemble that than a bar where nobody's opinion is above anyone else's. Whether you're sober or drunk, you never know which way a conversation will go in a pub. So which way do my reviews go? Do you agree with them? Do you not? Let's grab a drink and talk about it.
