Update: a joint statement was posted explaining the events that led up to this apology. You can find it here.
Like many blogs on the internet, MovieZeal is staffed by numerous volunteers who write for the sheer love of it, without pay, but it has been brought to my attention that one of our writers plagiarized a fellow film critic. This is unacceptable. MovieZeal may not be large and we may not generate any revenue, but it was founded on certain principles, those of integrity, honestly, and excellence. As such, every review by the critic in question has been removed, and he will no longer be writing for MovieZeal. To Nick Schager of Slant Magazine, I offer my sincerest apologies.
