Biography:

For the past decade, I've been writing for The Awards Circuit, writing all manner of reviews, covering the awards race, and injecting my own unique spin into the world of online journalism. When not seeing 300+ films a year, I'm obsessing over my dog, the Jets, or the Mets. There's nothing better than a great movie that whisks you away from reality, if only for two hours or so.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 75% 3/4 EDIT “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a fun continuation of the horror comedy story. The originality isn't there this time, though it's still a bloody good game.” – Awards Radar Mar 18, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 95% 4/4 EDIT “Project Hail Mary is a stunning achievement with excitement, wonder, and an all-timer of a friendship at its core.” – Awards Radar Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE!
