What is one of your greatest Childhood Movie Memories?
Saw Jaws as a kid. My sister took me when I was way too young. Was at the New Jersey Shore when the movie first just came out. My sister told me once the movie starts they lock the door and we can’t leave. Jaws was the first movie I saw in a theater. It scared me, it excited me and I love it.

Jennifer Jason Leigh
Pick 5 words that best describe going to the Cinema?
Excitement, anticipative, popcorn, trailers, big screen.
Where do you stand on Streaming Services and their place in film?
Adapt or get left behind. Good films are good films. It should not matter how they are brought to audiences. Some families cannot afford a night out at the movies.
Also, there are too many gatekeepers in Hollywood. It’s time to open the doors and allow filmmakers to make their films and share it by whatever means is available.
What is your Honest Opinion on the entire Star Wars saga?
Love it. MCU is impressive, no doubt. However, we are talking 40 years and multiple generations of fans world wide. Having said that the Rise of Skywalker will need to be great to solitify the 9 film saga. JJ has to deliver the book end.
We really need a Film Twitter definition – what is yours?
A collective of film fans.
Share one of your most Controversial movie world opinions?
Most recent is Avengers: Endgame was overrated.
Change one thing about a Masterpiece, and tell us why?
This is a good question. E.T. – I always wondered what if Elliot and E.T. died. How would that have played out. Was that even a thought when making the film. Could that have even be allowed to happen…
What are some of the Film Quotes you use a lot in everyday life?
Maybe not everyday but I’ll quote Anchor Man, Jaws, Deadpool from time to time.
What is the Role of a Film Critic – and how important are they?
Well time is the only critic that really matters. I feel as a critic its to discuss a movie as a whole, as an experience. I do not get that nit picky unless there was something that really need to be addressed. Also, I like to shine a spotlight on lesser know films when I can.
A Film Buff asks you for advice starting a Website / Podcast – what do you tell them?
Find a niche, maybe focus on one genre of film.
