Amanda M. Sink

Film and television have been a primary focal point in Amanda's life since she was young, serving as the foundation for a great deal of friendships. Submersing herself into the content, getting wrapped up in the different stories, characters and visuals is her favorite pastime. She often compares it to a roller coaster ride; that rush of adrenaline and feeling of tension, yet excitement, is what she love about movies. A great film is one that the audience can connect with - one with purpose. As a Rotten Tomatoes accredited film critic, Amanda makes every effort to maintain an open-mind to all movies and genres, giving them the fair chance they deserve... Except for Lady in the Water, that never should have had a shot. You can find Amanda every week on The Hollywood Outsider and her other podcasts: Inspired By A True Story and Smirk.
