Who is LCJ?

Lights Camera Jackson

"Lights Camera Jackson" has been a "Kid Critic" longer than he's been a kid, having attended his first movie (Disney's "Mulan") a month before he was born. Legend has it he kicked his mother during the funny parts.

"LCJ" began seeing films in the theater at age 5, starting with such classics as "Finding Nemo" and "The Lizzie McGuire Movie." Going to the movies quickly became his passion.

Jackson began his career as a movie critic in January 2006, at the age of 7 1/2. Currently his reviews are seen each week in over a million homes on the YNN family of Time Warner TV stations throughout Upstate NY and heard on the local Radio Disney station in his hometown. He also writes a weekend reviews/entertainment column for The Record (Troy, NY) newspaper.

He has also appeared, nationally, on "Fox and Friends", "Today" and "The Early Show". He was recently the topic of a Howard Stern rant on Stern's satellite radio show, a fact that promopted fans to conclude that "you've now made the big time."

Jackson's popular website is located at www.lights-camera-jackson.com and fans also follow "LCJ" on Twitter (@LCJReviews), Facebook and YouTube.

In April, 2010 "Lights-Camera-Jackson" became the youngest person to win a NY Emmy Award, for his YNN movie reviews segments.

When he's not watching and reviewing movies or interviewing celebrities "LCJ" attends school, enjoys writing and cartooning, playing tennis and watching TV. He takes much pride in the fact that he's seen every episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. And he collects, among other things, autographed photos of celebrities. His collection includes fellow movie critics Leonard Maltin, Richard Roper and Michael Phillips (Roger Ebert coming soon).
