Biography:

Spence D. has been an ambitious scribbler specializing in pop culture for over14 years. He got his start in the legendary hip-hop ?zine The Bomb and has written for publications like Devil in the Woods, Guitar One, Stance, Warp Japan, While You Were Sleeping, XLR8R, and others. Additionally he has served as a Contributing Editor to Urb, an Associate Editor at The Gavin, and a Senior Editor at IGN.com. He watches way too many Hong Kong action films, drinks entirely too much beer, and reads an excessive amount of comic books. He also enjoys skiing and is an Ichthyo-Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian (he eats fish, dairy products, and vegetables). And in case you were wondering, the D. stands for "dookey."

Movies TV Shows
Hostel Part II (2007) 44% 4/5 EDIT “Eli Roth has actually improved upon the first Hostel film, delivering a higher quotient of gore, but more importantly delivering an incredibly streamlined, and dare I say, mature spin on the slasher genre.” – IGN Movies Jun 1, 2007 Full Review Hard Candy (2005) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “There is no question that Hard Candy is an intense and unnerving little film. But when all is said and done it's a rather empty exercise in hot button pushing.” – IGN Movies Apr 14, 2006 Full Review Wolf Creek (2005) 55% 4.5/5 EDIT “The transference of nail biting insanity from screen to ticket holders is what ultimately drives the picture and makes it almost an interactive experience.” – IGN Movies Jan 1, 2006 Full Review First Descent (2005) 52% 4.5/5 EDIT “A sweet primer, not only into the history of snowboarding, but into the minds and lifestyles of some of the key participants in the sport.” – IGN Movies Dec 1, 2005 Full Review Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) 88% 4/5 EDIT “A brisk, darkly-tinged adventure yarn that boosts the action quota considerably and as such becomes a whirlwind blast of post-summer escapism.” – IGN Movies Nov 18, 2005 Full Review Into the Blue (2005) 20% 3/5 EDIT “...lurking underneath the sleek and fashionable veneer is a not half-bad little morality play.” – IGN Movies Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Serenity (2005) 82% 4.5/5 EDIT “The film is teeming with an overwhelming amount of integrity, heart, soul, and some of the best written characters to invade genre fiction in quite some time.” – IGN Movies Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Venom (2005) 13% 2/5 EDIT “Cookie cutter horror straight from the swamps of Louisiana.” – IGN Movies Sep 16, 2005 Full Review The Devil's Rejects (2005) 54% 4.5/5 EDIT “A gloriously wicked psychobilly thriller that unfolds like a crystal meth soaked drive-in movie nightmare.” – IGN Movies Jul 19, 2005 Full Review Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “Amidst the doom and gloom of all of the 2005 summer blockbusters, this is a light, airy, fun-filled bubblegum romp.” – IGN Movies Jul 7, 2005 Full Review Fantastic Four (2005) 28% 2.5/5 EDIT “What could have been the brilliant set-up to an ongoing franchise is instead turned into a vacuous slice of summer escapism.” – IGN Movies Jul 7, 2005 Full Review War of the Worlds (2005) 76% 3/5 EDIT “For all its technical beauty, there's something lacking. It often feels a bit like Spielberg phoned the film in or at the very least painted it by numbers.” – IGN Movies Jun 30, 2005 Full Review Aliens of the Deep (2005) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Much of the allure of the film comes from Cameron's easygoing, rather unscientific approach to the project.” – IGN Movies Feb 7, 2005 Full Review Wolfen (1981) 78% 3/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Screamers (1995) 29% 3/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Night of the Comet (1984) 79% 3/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Romancing the Stone (1984) 86% 4/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) 95% 4/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Crocodile Dundee (1986) 89% 4/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review My Bloody Valentine (1981) 39% 2/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review The Real McCoy (1993) 25% 3/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Stephen King's The Night Flier (1997) 33% 2/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Bull Durham (1988) 97% 4/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Last Night (1998) 85% 3/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Carnival of Souls (1998) 20% 2/5 EDIT “” – IGN Movies Dec 17, 2004 Full Review
