Biography:

Well, I like long walks and poetry and watching sunsets. No, seriously, I do like those things on occasion, but, generally, I like movies, discovering cool new stuff to read and music to listen to, hanging out with fun, stimulating, intelligent, open-minded humans (and cats). Philosophically, I like to think of myself as a work-in-progress. But I'm gettin' there.

Nebraska (2013) 90% 3.5/4 “Payne's most accomplished and emotionally affecting movie since his masterwork, About Schmidt (2002)” – Cinema Writer Feb 27, 2014 Full Review The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) 79% 3.5/4 “Absorbing performances, stylistic wit, a lacerating and subversive sense of humor: The Wolf of Wall Street delivers all of these in spades” – Cinema Writer Jan 18, 2014 Full Review Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) 92% 2.5/4 “The film has a frustrating, neither-here-nor-there quality.” – Cinema Writer Jan 17, 2014 Full Review The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) 74% 3/4 “It's natural to be repelled by Jackson's commercial- and franchise-minded motives ... but, ultimately, he delivers escapist entertainment that functions as the cinematic equivalent of comfort food.” – Cinema Writer Jan 13, 2014 Full Review American Hustle (2013) 92% 2/4 “more successful than any of the cons on-screen is the con Hustle plays on its audience,” – Cinema Writer Jan 2, 2014 Full Review Her (2013) 95% 3/4 “Her does American cinema proud” – Cinema Writer Dec 20, 2013 Full Review All Is Lost (2013) 95% 2/4 “the Cliffs Notes version of the deeper, more profound character study that never transpires on-screen” – Cinema Writer Dec 17, 2013 Full Review Dallas Buyers Club (2013) 92% 2/4 “It is everything cheap, shallow and pandering about American independent cinema.” – Cinema Writer Dec 13, 2013 Full Review 12 Years a Slave (2013) 95% 4/4 “The film of the decade.” – Cinema Writer Nov 15, 2013 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% 3/4 “a cinematic spectacle without equal” – Cinema Writer Oct 3, 2013 Full Review Before Midnight (2013) 98% 2.5/4 “Before Midnight is no romance. It's a horror movie.” – Cinema Writer Jul 5, 2013 Full Review World War Z (2013) 67% 3/4 “Pitt's soulful performance lends World War Z real heart and strength.” – Cinema Writer Jun 30, 2013 Full Review White House Down (2013) 52% 2/4 “Had director Emmerich allowed the chain reaction of comic chemistry sparked by these leads to carry the film, there's no telling how good White House Down could've been.” – Cinema Writer Jun 30, 2013 Full Review The Way Back (2010) 73% 3.5/4 “a solid, resonant meditation on survival, on hope, on the value of life in the face of implacable hostility, portrayed memorably by an excellent cast and [Director] Weir's vast, brutal, awe-inspiring landscapes” – Cinema Writer Feb 16, 2013 Full Review Zero Dark Thirty (2012) 91% 3/4 “Purely as cinematic exercise, Zero Dark Thirty is an exhilarating piece of work. But, beyond its for-the-times subject matter, the work does not linger whatsoever.” – Cinema Writer Feb 13, 2013 Full Review The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) 64% 2.5/4 “a drag-down, mildly diverting entertainment” – Cinema Writer Jan 10, 2013 Full Review Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 92% 3/4 “delivers the kind of sharply timed laughs that Sturges and Wilder would've appreciated” – Cinema Writer Dec 6, 2012 Full Review Chasing Ice (2012) 96% 7.5/10 “Perhaps most eloquent of all -- the most frightening and heartbreaking proof that something is wrong -- lies in the documentary's incredible imagery.” – Paste Magazine Nov 29, 2012 Full Review Lincoln (2012) 89% 3.5/4 “There is directorial mastery here, and, even for those like me for whom the power of Lincoln is a percolating realization, one thing is certain: The performance by Daniel Day-Lewis is astonishing.” – Cinema Writer Nov 24, 2012 Full Review Flight (2012) 77% 3/4 “As A-list substance-abuse melodramas go, this one lands safely enough.” – Cinema Writer Nov 14, 2012 Full Review Skyfall (2012) 92% 2/4 “Who pays the price for Skyfall? Bond fans do, of course. But so does Daniel Craig. He's not going to be around forever - not in this shape, anyway.” – Cinema Writer Nov 10, 2012 Full Review Moon (2009) 90% 3/4 “Intriguing, imaginative, and thematically ambitious, Moon gives ample proof that Jones is a serious talent, pushing his concepts into intellectually and spiritually challenging territory.” – Cinema Writer Nov 8, 2012 Full Review Looper (2012) 93% 3.5/4 “Looper is among the cleverest, most skillfully crafted and entertaining sci-fi thrillers of the past 20 years.” – Cinema Writer Nov 2, 2012 Full Review Argo (2012) 96% 3.5/4 “Argo is among the worthiest spy thrillers to come out of Hollywood in years, and it puts to rest (at least for this reviewer) any doubts over Affleck's chops as a smart, shrewd director of consistently topnotch fare.” – Cinema Writer Oct 29, 2012 Full Review Pusher (2012) 46% 2.5/4 “a perfectly serviceable race-against-the-clock thriller thanks to a powerful lead performance from Richard Coyle.” – Paste Magazine Oct 26, 2012 Full Review
