Thom Fowler

Agrees with the Tomatometer 72% of the time.

Biography:
critic, journalist, novelist, bon-vivant, anarchist, revolutionary, ***. I've sold vintage clothes, taught English in high schools, wrote desperate poetry in a wine drenched haze, had my heart broken and repaired, hiked along majestic ridges, skated on the edge of sanity and foolishly cracked open the bitter sweet fruit of life.
