BIOGRAPHY
Born in Waco, Texas, I have always had a love for movies. The earliest films I remembers seeing are "Grease" and "Grease 2." I was taken to a movie theater for the first time at the age of 9 (I was a late bloomer!). It was the summer of 1993, and the film was "Jurassic Park."

4/5
 
" Is there a higher truth uncovered at the end of the film? Probably not. But that's not why we watched it in the first place."
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)83%
/
 
" ... it attacks celebrity culture and the excesses of Hollywood filmmaking ... with a wink and slap on the back, celebrating that same culture as much as it ridicules it."
Posted Nov 14, 2008
 
Tropic Thunder (2008)83%
/
4/5
 
" ... only the most egotistical viewer would be loath to admit how much we have in common with these 'characters.'"
Posted Nov 4, 2008
 
This American Life: The Complete First Season (2008)n/a
/
 
" ... a show that gets to the heart and the contradiction of the American spirit--it celebrates our commonality by reveling in our diversity."
Posted Nov 4, 2008
 
This American Life: The Complete First Season (2008)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" ... it is apparent that these episodes could have looked much better than they do on the Koch DVDs."
Posted Sep 29, 2008
 
Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre: The Complete Series (1982/1985)n/a
/
 
" Faerie Tale Theatre is as variable and eccentric as its creator, and that is just one reason why it is still so well loved."
Posted Sep 29, 2008
 
Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre: The Complete Series (1982/1985)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" Mother of Tears is ultimately less than the sum of its parts."
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)48%
/
 
" ... Argento's nightmare vision is vivid enough to overcome the weaker aspects and make this a commendable, if not entirely satisfying, closing to his supernatural trilogy."
Posted Sep 19, 2008
 
Mother of Tears (2008)48%
/
1/5
 
" What cements the film's utter worthlessness is the complete lack of charisma in the two leads."
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Virgin Territory (2001)n/a
/
 
" ... somehow manages not only to not be sexy, but neither witty nor engaging on any level."
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Virgin Territory (2001)n/a
/
2/5
 
" ... a sad little movie about a sad little family ..."
Posted Aug 27, 2008
 
Smart People (2008)48%
/
 
" ... a deadly dull narrative about four depressed stereotypes who spend an hour and a half going from unhappy to slightly less unhappy."
Posted Aug 27, 2008
 
Smart People (2008)48%
/
 
" The director's detached approach is entirely appropriate here in order to convey how disconnected the characters are from each other and from the rest of society."
Posted Aug 25, 2008
 
I Don't Kiss (1991)n/a
/
 
" Techine's observant, emotionally detached approach to storytelling ... at times seems counterintuitive in this particular movie."
Posted Aug 22, 2008
 
Hotel America (1981)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" These are strong works of contemporary French cinema, and this box set is another winner from Lions Gate."
Posted Aug 18, 2008
 
The Andre Techine Box Set (1981/1993)n/a
/
 
" ... Techine examines the emotional changes of his young protagonists with sensitivity and understanding."
Posted Aug 18, 2008
 
Wild Reeds (1995)100%
/
 
" The film captures the joys and pains of real family life, never romanticizing them, and always presenting them with great perception and truthfulness."
Posted Aug 18, 2008
 
My Favorite Season (1993)91%
/
4.5/5
 
" With its unapologetic bleakness and ferocious sense of humor, it is a film that is as smart as it is entertaining, and it keeps us laughing against our better judgment."
Posted Aug 11, 2008
 
Heathers (1989)95%
/
 
" ... the film paints high school as a veritable hell where the only way to alleviate suffering is by making others suffer more."
Posted Aug 11, 2008
 
Heathers (1989)95%
/
4/5
 
" This is ultimately great entertainment in the tradition of classic heist films."
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)78%
/
 
" ... by turns funny and suspenseful, and just a tad trashy in its speculations."
Posted Aug 6, 2008
 
The Bank Job (2008)78%
/
2/5
 
" We don't care when these characters die because they are not real people; they are manufactured victims ...."
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
The Ruins (2008)45%
/
 
" ... soft-core torture porn that quite literally sets up its pretty, Hollywood protagonists for brutal sacrifice."
Posted Aug 1, 2008
 
The Ruins (2008)45%
/
3/5
 
" ... the DVD leaves one yearning for a two-disc edition somewhere down the line."
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
The Sword in the Stone (1963)69%
/
 
" For all of its inventiveness, the film's characters are never quite as endearing as they should be, and the central relationship between Arthur and Merlin is oddly detached."
Posted Jul 2, 2008
 
The Sword in the Stone (1963)69%
/
3.5/5
 
" Image Entertainment's disc is slightly disappointing ..., but the film is such a treasure that any fan of classic romance would be happy to own it."
Posted Jun 27, 2008
 
Fanny (1961)n/a
/
 
" The film is as much a visual feast as it is a dramatic delight."
Posted Jun 27, 2008

3.5/5
 
" ... a terrific showcase for a team of dedicated comics ...."
Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)57%

Posted Jun 26, 2008
 
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008)57%
/
2.5/5
 
" All of these featurettes, in fact, are surprisingly informative and manage to be much more interesting than the actual film."
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Semi-Pro (2008)21%
/
 
" ... a film that is bipolar in its intentions, at once trying to make us laugh at Jackie and care about the rest of the characters, but it's a losing battle on both sides."
Posted Jun 20, 2008
 
Semi-Pro (2008)21%
/
3.5/5
 
" Paramount Home Video's release of this collection is something of a mixed bag."
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Animation Show - Volume 3 ()n/a
/
 
" The visual ingenuity and provocative subject matter on display in these shorts is proof that the art of short filmmaking is not dead at all but thriving well."
Posted Jun 13, 2008
 
The Animation Show - Volume 3 ()n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" Koch Vision has provided some very nice supplemental features for this set ...."
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers - The Collection Vol. 1 (1986-1989)n/a
/
 
" Despite its cheerfully dated quality, the series can still be recognized for its sophistication and fanciful blending of science fiction and Western genres."
Posted Jun 6, 2008
 
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers - The Collection Vol. 1 (1986-1989)n/a
/
3.5/5
 
" ... [Anchor Bay's] new edition of Phenomena is good, but not greatly improved over the old release."
Posted May 28, 2008
 
Phenomena (1985)77%

" ... Phenomena works best when viewed as a contemporary fairy tale."
Posted May 28, 2008
 
Phenomena (1985)77%

3.5/5
 
" As a special edition DVD, this falls short of my highest recommendation."
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982)75%
/
 
" Tenebre is possibly Argento's most overtly sexual film, and at the heart of it lies an all-too human fascination with sexuality in all of its desirable and frightening forms."
Posted May 23, 2008
 
Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982)75%

2.5/5
 
" Unfortunately, Lions Gate released this film with no supplemental materials whatsoever."
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Frontier(s) (2008)62%
/
 
" As a political allegory, it has no substance. As a genre piece, it is derivative, but it takes from the best and brings it together reasonably well."
Posted May 22, 2008
 
Frontier(s) (2008)62%
/
3/5
 
" Lions Gate's DVD transfer is really first-rate."
Posted May 19, 2008
 
Bella (2007)46%
/
 
" Bella is without doubt one of the least apologetic blendings of heartfelt intentions, cinematic manipulation, and ultra sentimentality that I have seen in some time."
Posted May 19, 2008
 
Bella (2007)46%
/
3.5/5
 
" Considering that the film is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the image looks quite good for its age."
Posted May 9, 2008
 
She Done Him Wrong (1933)100%
/
 
" Some of it is creaky, most of the storyline is either confusing or dull, but West is a gas, and her repartee with Grant is still tantalizing."
Posted May 9, 2008
 
She Done Him Wrong (1933)100%
/
 
" ... considering the film's relative obscurity I'm actually surprised Fox included as [many special features] as they did."
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
The Nanny (1965)89%
/
 
" ... The Nanny holds up considerably well today as a slight, but unsettling, thriller."
Posted Apr 15, 2008
 
The Nanny (1965)89%

" Buena Vista's 2-Disc Platinum Edition of 101 Dalmatians stands proudly next to its predecessors in quantity and quality, serving up a feast for both children and adults."
Posted Mar 29, 2008
 
101 Dalmatians (1961)97%
/
 
" What has truly kept 101 Dalmatians alive ... is Cruella De Vil herself, one of the most deliciously nasty characters in Disney's oeuvre."
