mino's Bio

The world needs more movie reviewers. This is a fact that should be patently obvious to even the sort of ignorant dolt who thought that A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) was a good movie. More importantly, the world needs more movie reviewers who are cranky bastards who mercilessly mock movie-makers for their own stupidity.

I think we all agree that there have long been some gaps to be filled in the world of Internet movie reviews. The Internet does not contain nearly enough invective, abuse, or bad-temperedness directed towards Hollywood. There is a gap for someone who will tell it like it is, who will not hold back on scorn for the dim-witted, the dull, the dreary and the just plain dismal. There is a gap for someone who randomly scatters curse-words through their reviews for no reason other than to shock. And there is always a gap for someone who thinks that Susan Sarandon is pretty close to the worst actor alive.

These gaps are now filled.
