On the other hand, Los Angeles is not a big movie town. Andy Klein’s departure makes one wonder about the sanity of those in charge over at CityBeat.

That's a big loss to CityBeat, which was looking anorectically thin on the racks last week. Andy's an excellent critic - smart and well-read(viewed?) without being snotty. Eloquent and passionate without being a blowhard. Smart without being elitist and engaging on all levels in all genres of both cinema and writing. I hope deeply that he finds a landing spot here in town - his voice is needed. Ugh – it’s no consolation to anyone that layoffs are going around.
