Recently we put a call out to expand The Movie Blog’s writing bullpen to bring in some new voices, and I got such an overwhelming number of responses, but I narrowed it down to three. Thank you, to all who applied!

Adding these new voices will free me up to do other features like the podcasts, video rants, reviews and editorials as well as a new website to come soon.

Over the last couple days, you might have noticed a name other than mine in the author’s line for posts, so here they are. Meet the newest contributors for The Movie Blog:

Francisco J. Cangiano Francisco graduated from the University of Dayton,Ohio with a major in Journalism and minors in Marketing and Film. Since childhood, he has been a fan of the all-around movie experience. Throughout his life, he has embraced all genres. Integrating his passion for music, technology and marketing, has always helped him bring a well-shaped opinion about movies to the table. Francisco owns a outdoor advertising company and is also a singer/songwriter who currently blog/writes/posts from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Dan Silveira Dan was once a leading researcher devining the mating habits of the North American Squirrel before a traumatic emotional response to a seduction dance caused him to have inappropriate relations with his subjects. After aquiring his amateur taxidermist degree from an online uncredited College, Dan amassed an army of Squirrel friends to back him on his crusade for Amourous Woodland Creature Supremacy. And in his spare time he writes for The Movie Blog. (Dan didn’t write this bio)

Say hello, and offer your support to these new writers who have placed themselves under my well meaning yet poorly manicured thumb of tyranny!
