Jacob Hall Resigns from Yahoo! Movies After They Asked Him To Tone Down a Review

Less than one week after film critic Jacob Hall became Yahoo! Movies “Featured Critic,” Hall is leaving the site because they asked him to tone down a review. As John Gholson put it, “If you are the corporate overlord of a movie news/opinions website, 2011 is not shaping up to be your year.”

    I would love to read the review, Jacob should post it on his Yahoo Contributor Network profile for all to see. Sadly I did an interview with him about landing the gig just days before he resigned. Which will still be published on Yahoo!'s Associated Content.
