'Unprofessional': Ex-Timesman Bernie Weinraub Fires Back At Times After Scathing Review

Former New York Times Hollywood reporter Bernie Weinraub is furious over a scathing review of his new Off-Broadway play, the Accomplices, by a Times freelancer.

“The reviews keep coming in, virtually of them good to excellent,” Weinraub tells his “close friend” Nikki Finke. “Sure, some of them point out flaws in the play. And frankly I agree with their observations. But this New York Times review is so out of left field. It’s unprofessional and unworthy of the New York Times … It would be one thing if everybody disliked the play, or even the majority of the critics disliked the play.
