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.

Roommates (2026) 3/4 EDIT “Roommates is a delightful college comedy with tons of personality.” – Awards Radar Apr 17, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 77% 3.5/4 EDIT “Normal finds Bob Odenkirk as a reluctant action hero in Ben Wheatley's consistently amusing and supremely violent tale.” – Awards Radar Apr 16, 2026 Full Review Mile End Kicks (2025) 86% 3/4 EDIT “Mile End Kicks is a very pleasing romantic comedy with a real love for music.” – Awards Radar Apr 15, 2026 Full Review Mother Mary (2026) 72% 3/4 EDIT “Mother Mary finds Michaela Coel and Anne Hathaway under the cinematic spell of David Lowery's haunting psychological tale.” – Awards Radar Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Exit 8 (2025) 92% 3/4 EDIT “Exit 8 is a faithful and largely successful adaptation of what seemed like an unadaptable video game.” – Awards Radar Apr 9, 2026 Full Review Faces of Death (2026) 68% 1.5/4 EDIT “Faces of Death is a bafflingly ineffective slasher movie riff on the notorious horror title with delusions of social commentary.” – Awards Radar Apr 7, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has lots of fun Easter Eggs for fans of the games but an unsatisfying plot.” – Awards Radar Mar 31, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 77% 2.5/4 EDIT “The Drama has a game Zendaya and Robert Pattinson but can't sustain the comedic momentum.” – Awards Radar Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is a cleverly enjoyable action comedy with a time travel twist.” – Awards Radar Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Fantasy Life (2025) 81% 3/4 EDIT “Fantasy Life is a promising filmmaking debut from Matthew Shear with a rarely better Amanda Peet stealing the show.” – Awards Radar Mar 26, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 64% 3/4 EDIT “They Will Kill You is a propulsive gorefest with a badass Zazie Beetz taking it to rich satan worshippers.” – Awards Radar Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 73% 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) 94% 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! (2026) 58% 3/4 EDIT “The Bride! is a wildly big creative swing from Maggie Gyllenhaal.” – Awards Radar Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 3.5/4 EDIT “Hoppers is a gloriously zany return to old-school fun form for Pixar.” – Awards Radar Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 30% 3/4 EDIT “Scream 7' is another acceptable slasher but finds the horror franchise now running on fumes. It might be time for Ghostface to retire.” – Awards Radar Feb 26, 2026 Full Review In the Blink of an Eye (2026) 16% 2/4 EDIT “In the Blink of an Eye is a shockingly lifeless endeavor.” – Awards Radar Feb 25, 2026 Full Review The Napa Boys (2025) 55% 3/4 EDIT “The Napa Boys is destined to become a cult comedy litmus test.” – Awards Radar Feb 23, 2026 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 98% 3.5/4 EDIT “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie is an insane achievement.” – Awards Radar Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Wuthering Heights (2026) 58% 3.5/4 EDIT “Wuthering Heights is a sumptuous look at desire and longing from Emerald Fennell as only she can do it.” – Awards Radar Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 82% 3/4 EDIT “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a big science fiction swing from Gore Verbinski.” – Awards Radar Feb 9, 2026 Full Review Pillion (2025) 99% 3.5/4 EDIT “Pillion is an impeccably acted romantic comedy like you've never seen before.” – Awards Radar Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Night Nurse (2026) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Night Nurse is an unpleasant yet compelling erotic thriller.” – Awards Radar Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Idiots (2026) 73% 3/4 EDIT “The Shitheads is another absurd yet entertaining effort from Macon Blair.” – Awards Radar Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Run Amok (2026) 67% 3/4 EDIT “Run Amok is tonally tricky but ultimately emotionally powerful.” – Awards Radar Feb 2, 2026 Full Review
