A colleague and friend of mine, Tim Plant, has signed on to do occasional articles for the classic movies site on About.com, and we're lucky to have him.

Tim is a lifelong fan of classic and modern movies, literature and the performing arts, and he's published hundreds of freelance articles on films, books and theater productions in several Washington, DC area publications. He's an entertaining writer with an engaging style.

About.com is Tim's first foray into Internet-only writing, and he's started off with two fun lists of classic films: Hayley Mills Does Disney, and a round-up of the remakes of 2007.

Look for more to come, and let both of us know whether there are any topics you'd like to see us tackle in the coming months.
