Biography: http://www.livejournal.com/users/sweinberg // Born and raised in Philadelphia, I got bit by the movie bug at a very early age. After my father brought home a massive Betamax, I began hanging out at the local Video Village (anyone remember those?) and they put me to work. For a few hours of work after school, I got all the free rentals I could handle. (If I told you how many movies I watched between the ages of 13-20, you wouldn't believe it...and yes, I did have a social life!) From West Coast Video to General Cinemas to Tower Video... if it dealt with movies, I worked there. After studying journalism and film at Temple University, I found myself quite unemployed. The Internet afforded me the option to pursue my goal of becoming a film critic, and it's a wonderful life indeed. Hopefully impressive-sounding resumé-type bio-blurb: Scott Weinberg is the author of over 1,900 movie reviews and is currently a member of the Online Film Critics Society, an organization that represents over 190 of the world's finest online film critics. Scott is the Managing Editor of eFilmCritic.com / HollywoodBitchslap.com, where he focuses on new theatrical releases, classics on DVD, cult films both obscure and atrocious, and extensive coverage of the Sundance, South By Southwest, Toronto, and Philadelphia film festivals. His reviews can also be found on websites such as Cinematical, DVD Talk, JoBlo's Movie Emporium (DVD Clinic), Horror.com, Daily-Reviews.com, The Apollo Movie Guide, Monsters at Play, MrSkin.com, and Netflix, while his opinionated movie rants can regularly be heard on WGN radio in Chicago and WMET radio in Washington D.C. Scott also writes features (and the daily Newsday Reports) for Rotten Tomatoes ... plus he just started doing a DVD column for Femme Fatales Magazine, which is pretty darn cool for a geek like him.

Rotten 1.5/5	Rotten 39%	2012 (2009)	" Emmerich wavers between shocking, silly, and maudlin like a toddler would fingerpaint with red, yellow, and blue." — FEARnet Posted Nov 12, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 83%	[Rec] 2 (2009)	" A perfect companion piece to the powerfully well-regarded [REC]." — FEARnet Posted Sep 21, 2009
Fresh 4/5	N/A	57,000 Kilometers Between Us (2008)	" 57km is alternately smart, sad, sexy, and rather ironically amusing." — Cinematical Posted May 2, 2008
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 95%	[Rec] (2007)	" A shock-a-minute mini-masterpiece of sound design, tricky jolts, and wonderfully distressing tension." — FEARnet Posted Feb 29, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 49%	30 Days of Night (2007)	" *The coolest vampire movie since Near Dark." — FEARnet* Posted Feb 28, 2008
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 72%	28 Weeks Later (2007)	" Here's hoping the third entry can keep up the pace." — FEARnet DVD REVIEW Posted Oct 12, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 78%	1408 (2007)	" Definitely one of the best King adaptations in years ... and I've seen 'em all." — Cinematical Posted Jun 26, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 72%	28 Weeks Later (2007)	" A damn worthy follow-up to an unexpectedly excellent chiller." — FEARnet Posted May 10, 2007
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 60%	300 (2007)	" *Visually arresting and wildly cut together, 300* is (despite its well-earned R-rating) precisely the kind of movie that turns 14-year-old boys into ravenous movie geeks.*" — Cinematical* Posted Mar 8, 2007
Rotten 2.5/5	Rotten 19%	10th & Wolf (2006)	" *Coming from a guy who just won an Oscar for screenwriting? One has the right to expect something a little less rote, redundant, and oppressively familiar as 10th & Wolf." — DVDTalk.com* Posted Oct 25, 2006
Rotten 1.5/5	N/A	7 Mummies (2005)	" *Minus the opening & closing credits, 7 Mummies* runs about 70 minutes, 64 of which are almost unbearably terrible.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Aug 13, 2006
Rotten 2/5	N/A	10.5 Apocalypse (2006)	" The thing's a freakin' migraine waiting to happen, trust me. And that's not even taking the dialogue into account." — DVDTalk.com Posted Jul 21, 2006
Fresh 3.5/5	Rotten 50%	24 Hours on Craigslist (2005)	" The flick itself gets a B-, but the DVD is grade-A impressive all the way." — Monsters At Play Posted May 2, 2006
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 38%	95 Miles to Go (2006)	" An absolute must for Ray Romano fans, which is what I am now." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Mar 20, 2006
Fresh 4/5	N/A	21 Hours at Munich (1976)	" *I watched 21 Hours to Munich* with a careful eye trained for any sort of preachiness or "opinionizing" from either direction, and I was pleased to notice that stuff only by its absence.*" — DVDTalk.com* Posted Dec 5, 2005
Fresh 5/5	N/A	The 16-Ton Monty Python Megaset (1969)	" With this box set on your shelf, you'll always have something painfully hilarious to watch. Now surely that's worth 120 measly bucks." — DVDTalk.com Posted Oct 4, 2005
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 85%	The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)	" The 40 Year-Old Virgin is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Yeah, I said it." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Aug 19, 2005
Rotten 2/5	N/A	7 Seconds (2005)	" Wesley Snipes is back, and ... does anyone really even care anymore?" — DVDTalk.com Posted Jun 27, 2005
Fresh 4.5/5	N/A	10,000 Maniacs - Time Capsule, 1982-1993 (1982)	" Whether you're a casual fan who loves just the "big hits" or you're a hardcore Natalie Merchant fanatic, you'll absolutely be able to appreciate what's included here." — Daily-Reviews Posted Jun 21, 2004
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 44%	50 First Dates (2004)	" *1/3 slob comedy, 1/3 romantic schmaltz and 1/3 Memento* / Groundhog Day. The result is as choppy and unformed as one might expect from such a recipe.** " — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 19, 2004
Rotten 1/5	Rotten 36%	2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)	" *As I sat and had the rampant awfulness of 2 Fast 2 Furious* wash over me, I could actually FEEL the contempt and indifference of the filmmakers. 2 Awful 4 Words.*" — eFilmCritic.com* Posted Jun 5, 2003
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 88%	28 Days Later (2003)	" A raw, blistering and joyously uncompromising horror film. It's precisely what loyal Horror Freaks deserve, and it's easily one of the best movies of the year." — eFilmCritic.com Posted May 31, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Rotten 46%	2 Brothers & a Bride (2003)	" A Foreign Affair is an altogether enjoyable diversion, a light and clever comedy that offers some great performances in a unique setting. Plus it's about ten times more sincere and entertaining than what passes for romantic comedy these days." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 10, 2003
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 94%	48 Hrs. (1982)	" 48 Hrs. may seem panfully dated and more than a little familiar, but keep in mind that this one hit the screns in 1982 - back when a buddy/cop flick was actually a novel proposition." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 15, 2003
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 100%	24 - Season 1 (2001)	" Not only does 24 rank among television’s most successful experiments, but the viewing experience is improved exponentially now that the show is on DVD." — Daily-Reviews Posted Oct 19, 2002
Fresh 76/100	N/A	The 2002 Olympic Winter Games: Olympic Highlights (2002)	" this DVD should be a must-own for Olympics aficionados; others looking for a colourful recap should just give it a rent." — Apollo Guide DVD REVIEW Posted May 28, 2002
Rotten 67/100	N/A	1999 (1998)	" Much like the raucous party it depicts, this movie is fun while it lasts, but you’ll be hard-pressed to remember anything about it once it’s over." — Apollo Guide Posted Apr 26, 2002
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 38%	40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)	" There’s certainly a place for lightweight-yet-entertaining romantic piffle, and 40 Days and 40 Nights most assuredly qualifies as that." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Feb 28, 2002
Rotten 5/10	Rotten 31%	15 Minutes (2001)	" Yeah it's tough to condemn violence and glorify it at the same time." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 10, 2001
Rotten 4/10	Rotten 40%	The 6th Day (2000)	" A few clever ideas buried under tons of stupidity." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Oct 10, 2001
Rotten 35/100	Rotten 36%	8 Seconds (1994)	" The title implies how long you'll be able to sit through it." — Apollo Guide Posted Feb 13, 2001
Fresh 10/10	Rotten 30%	1941 (1979)	" Unjustly lambasted comic insanity." — eFilmCritic.com Posted Jan 1, 2000
