Biography:
Robin, with his wife Laura (laura@reelingreviews.com), began reviewing films on a local cable access station in 1991. The show, Reeling, has since expanded into a number of major access stations, including Boston's BNN network. We have also established a film review column for a local chain newspaper in our home town of Malden MA. We are contributing reviewers on a number of entertainment sites. Our goal is to move our TV program into the commercial realm and continue to improve the quality and content of our written review to help promote a greater understanding of the movie media.

Posted Oct 13, 2010
D 81% Catfish (2010) " I believe that a documentary should do one of two things: educate you about things not known or present you with something familiar but with added depth of knowledge... Catfish meets neither of those requirements." — Reeling Reviews

D 28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " ...a mish mash of mythology whose enhancement with shoddy 3D (this was outsourced to an Indian production company and the filmmakers should ask for their money back) is near sinful in its poor quality." — Reeling Reviews
Posted Apr 2, 2010
D 63% Extract (2009) " This is a disappointing effort by writer-director Mike Judge that, on paper, may have been an amusing idea. In execution, though, it is not." — Reeling Reviews

Posted Sep 11, 2008
D 5% Because I Said So (2007) " Because I Said So's biggest sin is that it treats its characters like idiots, with Keaton's Daphne leading the charge. [She's] a woman who apparently makes her living by baking the occasional cake, most of which land on the sidewalk or in her face." — Reeling Reviews
Posted Feb 9, 2007
