Orson Scott Card, he of Ender's Game, has a website full of his rants and raves and weird tales. You might appreciate "Uncle Orson Reviews Everything", especially this column, which tackles Pirates of the Caribbean, LXG (i.e. the movie, not the comic book), and Italian Job, all in one giant entry. He does a lot of his reviews (natch) from the writer's and actor's perspective, which isn't surprising, since he's an author and theater (stage plays, mostly) nut.
He also likes video games, which is cool, and I did notice, in my younger days, that he provided the most excellent swashbuckling dialogue game from Monkey Island.
Card is also kind of crazy, but he's extremely nice in person, and certainly one of the most interesting authors I've ever met, in terms of actually conversing with. He's not afraid to voice his opinion, and he's one of those guys who I disagree with a lot, but still love to read.
If you haven't already encountered his site, there's a chance you'll spend a lot of time reading it.
