JEFF GILES

Agrees with the Tomatometer 100% of the time.

Biography: I'm a freelance music and film critic, which means a lot of people mistake me for Newsweek's Jeff Giles (I even get his mail sometimes). I am not Newsweek's Jeff Giles. Also, I like long walks on the beach.
Favorites: "Nobody's Fool," "Big Trouble in Little China," "Spinal Tap," "Big Fish," "Better Off Dead," "Die Hard," "400 Blows"

Publications: Bullz-Eye.com, Collider.com, Dadnabbit, Popdose, Rotten Tomatoes

Fanboys (2009)

Woodstock: Three Days of Peace & Music (The Director's Cut) (1970)

" Woodstock is as fluid as the spirit of the festival, tumbling from widescreen to split-screen and back again, a visual extension of what was going on all around Wadleigh and his crew." — Popdose

Quantum of Solace (2008)
