Biography:

Born in Poughkeepsie, NY, educated at Cal Berkeley, and currently residing in the great state of Texas, early on I developed a fanatical devotion to both computers and the movies. Naturally, my talents led me to my role as an online film critic. I started publishing reviews on the website Cinematter in 1995. My reviews are also published monthly in Hilton Head's Current Diversions newspaper.A member of the OFCS since early 1997, I built the OFCS website (mostly by hand) in 1998, and have been serving as the group's web administrator since then. On April 1, 1999, I was elected as part of the first Governing Committee of the OFCS, and one year later was reelected to the post.

0.5/4	17%	Dirty Work (1998)	— Cinematter Posted Jan 1, 2000
0.5/4	2%	Baby Geniuses (1999)	" This is a film so completely bankrupt of ideas that the last few minutes are composed entirely of short clips from elsewhere in the film...as if anyone would want to relive this travesty, even in the form of bite-sized none sequiturs." — Cinematter Posted Jan 1, 2000
1.5/4	28%	Flipper (1996)	— Cinematter Posted Jan 1, 2000
2.5/4	26%	Mary Reilly (1996)	" Those expecting a traditional horror film may be disappointed. However, for those with an open mind, and a taste for the eerie, Mary Reilly may well be one to watch." — Cinematter Posted Jan 1, 2000
3/4	35%	Beyond Rangoon (1995)	" Arquette's central character makes several rather stupid decisions along the way, but the drama of the political events unfolding around her compensates for it." — Cinematter Posted Jan 1, 2000
