Biography:
I am the 23 year old Publisher, Editor and Senior Film Critic for Film School Rejects.com. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and has since migrated to the fine city of Columbus to fulfill my needs of seeing both a pro hockey team and a winning football team (something that Cleveland is destined to always lack.) Both my love of film and my love of being argumentative began at a young age – so much so that my 7th grade English teacher encouraged me to become a lawyer based on my ability to write a persuasive essay. Later in life, I would discover the amount of schooling necessary in becoming a lawyer, and I chose a career in the retail field and a dream of becoming a film critic instead. In early 2006, along with my friend and fellow movie lover Brian Gibson, I started Film School Rejects.com, a site dedicated to being a forum for aspiring critics to get their opinions read by the world. I also write for Blog Critics.org and encourage fans and non-fans to always lay the feedback on thick, as I am always learning and growing as a critic.

D 26% Colombiana (2011) " Columbiana is stupid, listless and too shy to be any fun. When you fail to make a well-armed, underwear-clad Zoe Saldana interesting, it seems almost intentional." — Film School Rejects

Posted Apr 14, 2010
D+ 43% Robin Hood (2010) " An extravagantly hollow experience that feels disconnected from the original character, and can't survive the ferocious scowl of Russell Crowe." — Film School Rejects

D+ 15% The Condemned (2007) Film School Rejects
Posted Apr 27, 2007

C- 27% The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) " Poorly structured, poorly paced, poorly executed CGI in places and characters that are unlikeable, despite the fact that we should be rooting for them. An inaccessible mess." — Film School Rejects
Posted Apr 14, 2010
C- 28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " An otherwise passable adventure film that almost survives its many problems with energetic action sequences, but is ultimately damaged by the gimmick of 3D." — Film School Rejects

C 87% The Dark Knight Rises (2012) " It is much bigger. But it's also much colder, much more dour and emptier as it plods its way through a flurry of chaos and silliness." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jul 19, 2012
C 26% Green Lantern (2011) " Lantern dazzles with some ambitious visuals and a wicked cool mythology, but fails to overcome its fear that is audience is stupid." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jun 17, 2011
C 41% The Expendables (2010) " When The Expendables revs up and becomes the loud, explosive machismo parade that it's meant to be, it works. But when it doesn't, it's rather abysmal." — Film School Rejects

Posted Dec 17, 2010
C+ 63% Predators (2010) " A fun call-back to its gruesome predecessor. What it lacks in machismo, it certainly makes up for with atmosphere." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jul 9, 2010
C+ 49% The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) " Eclipse breaks the mold at the hands of a craftsman. It becomes something new, something oddly watchable, at times enjoyable and surprisingly unlike what has come before." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jul 1, 2010
C+ 35% Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) " the film's joyous embrace of the gaudy computerized action earns it the tag of fun, but not to be taken seriously." — Film School Rejects
Posted May 27, 2010
B- 60% Real Steel (2011) " Kudos to Shawn Levy, he's made a movie many of us didn't expect - the personification of what a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie should be." — Film School Rejects
Posted Oct 6, 2011
B- 36% Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) " It's got problems, but when it comes to delivering jaw-dropping, massive spectacle, we're again reminded that no one can do Transformers quite like Michael Bay." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jun 28, 2011
B- 72% Rio (2011) " Using all the vibrant colors and lively music of Brazil, Rio dances its way toward becoming Blue Sky's best effort to date. It may be but a kids' movie, but it's a fun ride." — Film School Rejects
Posted Apr 16, 2011
B- 76% Superman Returns (2006) " One of this summer's best action movies." — Film School Rejects
Posted Jul 6, 2010

Posted Jul 6, 2010
B- 41% Death at a Funeral (2010) " By holding tight to the story of the original, it delivers laughs and is held up on the shoulders of a great performance from James Marsden." — Film School Rejects
Posted Apr 15, 2010
B- 74% Banlieue 13 - Ultimatum (District 13: Ultimatum) (2009) " Adrenaline-filled, high-flying and brutal. A truly impressive action film that will hit you in the chest with awesome." — Film School Rejects
Posted Apr 14, 2010
B- 87% The Lookout (2007) " Levitt is quickly establishing himself as an actor with serious range and a keen eye for great roles in smaller films." — Film School Rejects
