Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

I have been involved with DVD and film review for eight years, since the age of sixteen. I was the founder and operator of The DVD Line, one of the very first online DVD review sites. When it closed down in the summer of 2000, I did DVD reviews part time for DVD Angle. In 2003 I founded FromTheBalcony.com, which is an ever-growing site of reviews and editorials. I am a member of the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS), Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA), and the Internet Entertainment Writers Association (IEWA).

The Commuter (2018) 55% C “Like many recent entries to Neeson's canon, The Commuter is fairly involving until it comes time to explain what's going on.” – FromTheBalcony Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Downsizing (2017) 47% F “Downsizing thinks it's playing with fire but is really just rubbing two twigs together and hoping for the best.” – FromTheBalcony Dec 22, 2017 Full Review The Disaster Artist (2017) 91% A- “The Disaster Artist is an enormously entertaining look at film making dreams and the legacy that comes with making a truly terrible one.” – FromTheBalcony Dec 8, 2017 Full Review The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) 79% B “While certainly not a new classic, The Man Who Invented Christmas is an enjoyable experience that succeeds in rousing the Christmas spirit.” – FromTheBalcony Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Lady Bird (2017) 99% A- “The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person. Lady Bird does just that.” – FromTheBalcony Nov 17, 2017 Full Review Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) 51% B+ “No one will ever call this series high art, but it does aim to please and built-in fans will find a lot to like in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.” – FromTheBalcony Sep 22, 2017 Full Review Good Time (2017) 91% B “Good Time is thematically spare, but the savvy, energetic direction of the Safdie brothers and Pattinson's wide-eyed, intense performance keep it afloat.” – FromTheBalcony Aug 25, 2017 Full Review Dunkirk (2017) 92% C “Given little context and even less character arc, Dunkirk emerges as an emotionally hollow exercise in wartime spectacle.” – FromTheBalcony Jul 20, 2017 Full Review 47 Meters Down (2017) 53% B- “47 Meters Down is an impressive picture from a technical perspective. It's a shame the dialogue isn't given the same consideration.” – FromTheBalcony Jun 16, 2017 Full Review It Comes at Night (2017) 88% B “It Comes at Night is a relentlessly bleak exercise in paranoia and distrust that taps into some of the deepest fears within the human condition.” – FromTheBalcony Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Jackie (2016) 88% A- “The opening frames of Jackie lead one to believe they're about to see a horror film. One wouldn't be far off.” – FromTheBalcony Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Bad Santa 2 (2016) 23% B- “Fans of the original know what to expect here. If you can't get enough of Bad Santa's mean streak, you'll find plenty to enjoy in Bad Santa 2.” – FromTheBalcony Nov 22, 2016 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2016) 44% B- “It's hardly high art, but director Taylor and screenwriter Wilson make The Girl on the Train work just well enough to warrant a look.” – FromTheBalcony Oct 9, 2016 Full Review Deepwater Horizon (2016) 82% B- “While not nearly as unforgettable as the events on which it's based, Deepwater Horizon works well enough as a spectacle and tribute to the fallen.” – FromTheBalcony Sep 30, 2016 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) 64% C+ “Overlong and often struggling to balance action and comedy, The Magnificent Seven is an uneven effort with some sensational action.” – FromTheBalcony Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Blair Witch (2016) 38% D+ “Padded by too many lame jump scares to count, Blair Witch becomes a near-literal remake of its predecessor once the group enters the fateful woods.” – FromTheBalcony Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Free State of Jones (2016) 48% C+ “Free State of Jones features a handful of moderately powerful moments that don't add up to a powerful overall experience.” – FromTheBalcony Jun 24, 2016 Full Review Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016) 64% D “Like most contemporary comedy sequels, Neighbors 2 is essentially the same film as Neighbors, minus the freshness and purpose of existence.” – FromTheBalcony May 20, 2016 Full Review How to Be Single (2016) 45% D+ “How To Be Single is unfocused, horrifically shot and edited, and not nearly as raunchy as it thinks it is.” – FromTheBalcony Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Deadpool (2016) 85% B+ “Profane, hyper-violent, and never hesitant to take things a step or two beyond overkill, Deadpool is just the swift kick to the junk the genre needs.” – FromTheBalcony Feb 7, 2016 Full Review Hail, Caesar! (2016) 86% D “With Hail, Caesar!, it's baffling to see the Coens deliver something with next to nothing at stake and zero involvement from a character perspective.” – FromTheBalcony Feb 5, 2016 Full Review 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) 51% B- “13 Hours is a visceral, pounding experience that works as a vintage Bay action film even as it skirts the bigger overall picture.” – FromTheBalcony Jan 15, 2016 Full Review Anomalisa (2015) 92% A- “Anomalisa embodies what we've come to expect from Kaufman: a venture into the strange while somehow staying grounded in reality. Just like life.” – FromTheBalcony Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Joy (2015) 61% B- “Joy doesn't resonate as a hard-hitting, memorable biography, but as a lightweight, ultimately charming slice of entrepreneurial spirit, it works.” – FromTheBalcony Dec 23, 2015 Full Review 45 Years (2015) 97% A- “Led by two first-rate performances, 45 Years is an intimate, introspective work that ranks among 2015's best.” – FromTheBalcony Dec 22, 2015 Full Review
