Hello, I'm Richard Knight, Jr. Thanks for stopping by Knight at
the Movies. Here's a little bit about my film writing background.
Since May of 2004 I've been the Cinema Writer for Windy City
Times and this site. Windy City Times is Chicago's premiere
LGBT print and online weekly and as noted, I write film reviews
from a queer perspective.
I've written on a variety of subjects for the Chicago Tribune, the
Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Reader and other publications
beginning in 1986 but I now concentrate mostly on film writing.
In addition to my weekly "Knight at the Movies" review column for
WCT I also write film related articles and a quarterly movie
soundtrack column for the Trib.
My alter ego Dick O’Day hosts “Camp Midnight,” a seasonal
movie series dedicated to the “best of the worst” of camp movies
at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre.

In addition, Dick O'Day spent six years as a correspondent with Chicago's premiere PBS Station
WTTW on the wacky, wonderful Wild Chicago and I won two Emmys for "his" segments on the show (if
I don't say "his" he gets, um, upset). There's a lot more about my still vibrant performance career,
including my band Samba Bamba at the Dick O'Day website.
Two separate collections of my film reviews for Windy City Times and this site are available by
clicking HERE. In 2007 I created Movie Queens, an online web TV show dedicated to exploring film
from a humorous and very queer perspective. I played "Ricky," (a much more fabulous version of
my real life self) in the series. The webisodes are available through the Movie Queens site.
I'm a member of the Gay and Lesbian Entertainment Critics Association (GALECA) and the Chicago
Film Critic's Association. In the Spring of 2009 I founded the Queer Film Society, the first ever
group comprised of openly queer film critics, academics, historians, and authors. Come join us!
