    Biography: Scott Renshaw began writing reviews for Usenet's rec.arts.movies.reviews newsgroup in 1993; since then, he has written over 900 full-length reviews of new theatrical releases. He began his professional career with freelance contributions to the Casper, WY Star-Tribune, and has since added contributions to several newspapers in the U.S. and Australia. Scott now serves as a film critic for Cinema Review (), a contributing writer for Video Librarian magazine (), and staff writer for the Park City (UT) Mountain Times and Salt Lake City Weekly. Scott was born in San Diego, CA on December 28, 1966 -- making him older than his photo would suggest -- and grew up in Bakersfield, CA. He graduated from Stanford University in 1989, and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 12 years. He now lives in Salt Lake City, UT with his wife Laura, son Nicholas and a beagle named Cassie.
