He wrote the highly influential book ''The American Cinema: Directors and Directions 1929-1968'', published in 1968 , an opinionated assessment of films of the sound era, organized by director. The book was influential on other critics and helped raise an awareness of the role of the film director among the general public. For many years he wrote for '' The Village Voice '', and it was during this part of his career that he was often seen as a rival to Pauline Kael , who had originally attacked the auteur theory in her essay, "Circles and Squares". He continues to write film criticism today for '' The New York Observer '', and is a professor at Columbia University , his alma mater. Sarris was a co-founder of the National Society Of Film Critics . He is married to fellow film critic, Molly Haskell . In the film '' Galaxy Quest '', Sarris' name is given to the character of an evil warlord. {Link without Title} BIBLIOGRAPHY
