Biography:

Movies have always been a passion for me. Even when I was a child, I wanted to see movies that my grandparents wouldn't want me to see. Everything changed for me in 1990 when I sat down to watch the Academy Awards for the first time. I had a personal favorite going into the race and knew little to nothing about the awards themselves. Against odds that I was not aware of then, Driving Miss Daisy took home the trophy for Best Picture. I was ecstatic and it became my personal mission to study the Academy Awards and become a first rate prognosticator. In 1996, I founded The Oscar Guy, my personal website for the Academy Awards. Over time as I finished my studies in film, I began writing reviews in order to embellish my site. In 1997, I joined the Online Film Critics Society and have been a proud member ever since. In 2006, I was elected a governor of the Online Film Critics Society and am working on a number of projects that I feel will bring further prestige to the organization.

Wicked (2024) 87% 4/4 “There will be some in the audience who aren’t taken in by Wicked, Part I‘s inclusive themes or joie-de-vivre but this film isn’t really for those malcontents.” – Cinema Sight Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “Ascetic monks and hermits. These are probably the only two types of people who have never heard of Star Wars. For everyone else, it’s something of a right of passage.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review American Fiction (2023) 93% “American Fiction specifically looks at the kind of literature that panders to its white audience while providing an unrealistic depiction of the myriad obstacles Black Americans face.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Strange Way of Life (2023) 78% 4/4 “Foreign cinema often gave queer topics and queer stories more nuanced representation than American cinema. Strange Way of Life is Pedro Almodóvar’s latest in queer cinema and while it’s a well worn story, the gay perspective is a fascinating twist.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% 3/4 “Superhero films suffer significantly from the law of diminishing returns as sequels strain to be better than their predecessors. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse stands out as the antithesis of this notion...” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Trolls Band Together (2023) 64% 3/4 “Family is a recurring theme in the Trolls series of animated films and Trolls Band Together gives you a double dose of such adventures.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% 4/4 “One year shy of its 70th anniversary, Godzilla makes a return to the big screen with a Tojo effort that makes the American renditions look like drive-in disasters in Godzilla Minus One.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review 2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation (2024) 90% 3/4 “This year’s nominated short films are a disappointing batch with a few gems mixed in. The topical ones are a bit boring while the most interesting are the least political, a rarity in short films.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review 2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Live Action (2024) 100% 3.5/4 “This year’s nominated short films are a disappointing batch with a few gems mixed in. The topical ones are a bit boring while the most interesting are the least political, a rarity in short films.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review 2024 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Documentary (2024) 90% 3/4 “This year’s nominated short films are a disappointing batch with a few gems mixed in. The topical ones are a bit boring while the most interesting are the least political, a rarity in short films.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review All of Us Strangers (2023) 96% 3/4 “Grief can be a powerful emotion that lingers long after the loss that spawned it. All of Us Strangers explores how regret colors one’s memories and allows one to fantasize about what might have been.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% 3.5/4 “Life is strange and then there’s Poor Things. Set in a steampunk world of Victorian custom, Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) learns to experience life in her own way even if it grates against societal norms.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% 3.5/4 “Japanese culture and spiritually have always provided a potent well from which Miyazaki draws his filmic inspiration. Boy and the Heron is no different and returns him to the fantastical roots that made Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke such successes.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% 3.5/4 “As increasing tensions with Russia rise once again, it seems fitting that "Oppenheimer" sets forth the events that led to those initial tensions in aftermath of World War II.” – Cinema Sight Apr 7, 2024 Full Review Ten Little Indians (1987) 3.5/4 “Regardless of the literalities of linguistic usage, remaining faithful to the text is brilliantly handled.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Ten Little Indians (1989) 1.5/4 “For their part, Vaccaro and Lom do solid work and Pleasance is credible, but the rest of the cast range from forgettable (Maur Thorp) to terrible (Stallone).” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Death on the Nile (1978) 79% 3.5/4 “For fans of the novel, there are a few changes, but none that overwhelm the essence of the story, allowing viewers to take a trip on the Nile with the world-famous sleuth and his inimitable talents.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) 80% 3.5/4 “While it has its flaws, much of that is wonderfully lambasted by the audience participation, which has grown and adapted with each generation adding something and making this multi-generational experience one that you won’t soon forget.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 3.5/4 “"Barbie" does exactly what the doll itself was intended to do. It acts as a beacon to young women telling them that they can achieve greatness and be anything they want even in a patriarchal landscape where men control the levers of power.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 62% 3.5/4 “It’s an engaging, entertaining effort that many will enjoy.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% 3.5/4 “"The Holdovers" fires on nearly all cylinders, though there are moments that drag too much, a byproduct of its unnecessarily lengthy two-hour-thirteen-minute runtime.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Color Purple (2023) 81% 3/4 “Finding joy in the heart of sorrow is no easy feat and while there are stylistic and structural issues with <em>The Color Purple</em>, its celebration of perseverance and indomitable spirit is infectious.” – Cinema Sight Dec 21, 2023 Full Review And Then There Were None (1975) 2/4 “While Ten Little Indians may not have worked in this particular location or with these specific actors, it seems more the fault of Towers and Collinson than the material or the characters.” – Cinema Sight Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Murder, She Said (1961) 89% 3/4 “at least the opening salvo is worth the time of any murder mystery fan who likes the way Christie weaves stories, even when they are altered in many ways for the visual medium.” – Cinema Sight Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Murder at the Gallop (1963) 100% 3/4 “While Murder at the Gallop is mostly as clever as the source material, that’s likely to both please and frustrate Christie’s fans” – Cinema Sight Oct 10, 2023 Full Review
