Bob Grimm
Tomatometer-approved critic
Born and raised in Long Island, New York.
My favorite film is Jaws and that will probably never change. Other favorites include Barton Fink, There Will Be Blood. Taxi Driver and Caddyshack. I think Avatar was lame and I gave a positive review to Freddy Got Fingered so there you go. I'm a little strange.
Reno, Nevada, home of the frightening pedestrian.

Your Place or Mine (2023) |
I forgot to mention in the body of my review that Tig Notaro is the only thing good in the movie, so I will make that statement in this here pull quote. The rest of the movie is a tedious journey into Hell. - Reno News and Review

Violent Night (2022) |

Clerks III (2022) |
The most emotionally satisfying film Smith has made yet, on top of being really funny and magnificently acted by O'Halloran and Anderson. I'm not going to lie, I'm seriously hoping my positive review will help drive the RT meter back up to 69%. - Reno News and Review
