Justin Bowler does not have a degree in Film Studies. Yet, for some reason he is able to see blatantly obvious problems in movies released by motion picture companies that studio heads fail to see or don’t care to acknowledge.
He finds it funny when box office receipts are down and Hollywood cites the economy as the problem. (For some reason no one mentions the quality of the movies the studios are producing, as if the quality of the movies is the constant.) (Or better yet, it is as if the quality is so unimportant to them that is doesn’t matter.) (They know horrible movies can still make money. (Tomb Raider, anyone?) (TOMB RAIDER II, ANYONE?))
So, rather than expunge the obvious that other reviewers revel in, Justin hopes to root out the specific praises and problems of films and examine them, not only as objects of entertainment, but also as film projects. Will his reviews be entertaining? Yes. Will they be intellectual? Yes. Does that mean anyone will care what he has to say? Not at all. (But, he has grown used to the idea that his only fan is his mother.) Enjoy!

Steve “WhiskeySour” Brown is the kind of man who likes to wear sunglasses indoors when the mood strikes him. A touch camera shy but always trigger happy when it comes to watching movies. He once spent a day “trilling it up” by watching all the LOTR movies followed by three of the “Star Wars” episodes (the good ones), without ever once thinking to move from his couch.

A lover of good whiskeys and a fighter against all things that take themselves too seriously, Steve is truly a man’s man in a preppy collared shirt. One might have described him as an enigma wrapped in a mystery if it wasn’t for his tendency to play his cards on the straight and narrow. Truly a pillar of the community, when he wants to be.

Steve hails from Brantford, Ontario, Canada, but is currently cooling his heels in the nearby city of London, Ontario, Canada.

M. Miller Davis recently traded the sweeping sod fields of Oklahoma for the bright lights and constant fear of staph infection that is Hollywood. He has been writing reviews since college where he was a bi-monthly contributor to The University Daily Kansan at the University of Kansas. After graduation he started his own website so that he could continue writing reviews for friends as well as add ‘forget to pay domain registration and someone steals website’ to his stress dream catalog.

Since moving to Hollywood he has found steady employment as a low level cog in the world of comedy television. This position affords him a shared apartment, food, gasoline, several theater outings a month and just a little bit of opium.

He truly loves film, most especially the crime genre. The representation of crime or illegal deviancy is generally universal so the genre has been expanded upon and appreciated worldwide like no other type of film. He loves classic movies in which drama and comedy were never present to the exclusion of the other and appreciates present day blockbusters for their escapist notions.

Sometimes he can be a little flowery with his language but he is working on that. He also wishes he took ‘Bio Pages’ more seriously.

Ladies/Passable Post-ops : If you would like to a request a date with Mr. Davis, please feel free to leave your contact info in the comments section. They will be handled in the order in which they are received. (Note to Editor: Should probably purchase more servers to handle massive inevitable overflow in comment sections.)

Thank you for reading his biography. Please do not research him any further as this constitutes the entirety of his life.

Sincerely,
Tomothy Squeezewater, RN

If Patrick could do one thing full time it would be going to see movies. Either that or he would want to be the lead singer in a hot local bar band, belting out high energy rock until last call and still looking for that elusive major label record deal. That would be wicked! But since he possesses zero musical talent, it seems movies are the way to go.

With a head full of pop culture wisdom, he goes into every movie with an open mind and is a huge fan of the underdog, the indie, and the overlooked. He is also a sucker for the guilty pleasure. Arguing with others about why “Cocktail”, “Josie and the Pussycats”, “The Fifth Element”, “The Omega Man”, “Five Deadly Venoms”, and “They Live” are classics is one of his favorite pastimes.

He is a writer, an actor, a poet, a daddy and just a swell guy. Many have also commented that he has the best hair they have ever seen. He is the kind of guy you just can’t get enough of and can’t help falling in love with. But most of all he is very modest.

Alumni of UCI’s school of Drama and Second City, David currently writes, directs, and performs for a living under his company, Edutainment Arts, while raising a family.

More than just a pretty face, Lee Kias put himself at the forefront of the independent film craze as the creator and host of “Director’s Cut”, an interview-based movie review program that premiered at the 1997 Sundance/Slamdance film festivals.

Mr. Kias’ appreciation for all things “Hollywood” has garnered him experience both in front of and behind the camera. Though, given his leading man good looks, he, like the rest of the viewing public, most enjoys being onscreen.

Currently, Lee is closely monitoring his IMDB popularity rating and wondering how on earth he is down 83% this week.

My 10 commitments to you:

1. I will never do any research which takes longer than a 90 second perusal of imdb.com or Wikipedia.
2. If I cannot find actual “facts”, rather than just leave a blank (like most critics), I will try to come up with something which is at least passably believable.
3. If Ashton Kutcher is in it, I’m not reviewing it. Period.
4. If Jessica Alba is in it and I review it, I’ll recommend the movie. No apologies.
5. This is a placeholder where another commitment will go sometime in the future.

Steven Lewis hates and mistrusts bios because he can never tell how much of them are true (keep this in mind as you read). He hails originally from Cincinnati Ohio, but has done time in Denver, Chicago and now L.A. Ask him which of all the places he’s lived is his favorite, and he’ll reply, “Frankly, after the womb it was all downhill.”

His love of movies started early, and stayed late. He can still recall the first PG-rated film he was allowed to attend (“Murder By Death”), as well as the first R-rated one (“Beverly Hills Cop”) and traces his development accordingly. Upon seeing the movie “Rain Man”, he felt he missed his life’s calling as an autistic savant. While he cannot count cards, memorize the phonebook or do high-level math in his head, he CAN give the release date of any movie made after 1967 (go ahead, test him). If permitted, he’ll also discourse endlessly on why we’d all be better off pretending “Jack” is not really part of Francis Ford Coppola’s canon, as well as give you a detailed analysis of Kevin Kline’s film roles to date from the standpoint of “mustache vs. no-mustache”. Clearly, he’s a man whose passion is stoked in direct proportion to the triviality of the topic – which many have said would make him an excellent film critic. He wrote several reviews for imdb.com once upon a time (under the handle “krumski” ) for which he received enough nasty responses to feel the effort was justified. He will now cease writing, and leave you to draw your own conclusions about him.

Steve Matuszak is a BIG movie fan. Steve has a background in many aspects of live theatre, film, video, stand up comedy, improvisation and dance. He is a SAG/AFTRA actor who has worked in front of the camera and behind it (as well as on the live theatre stage and behind it) in performing, directing, producing, writing, editing and more. Steve is the founder of Comedy With A Cause programs for school systems as well as the highly successful Chicago Comedy & Training Company. Steve has written, directed and performed in over 1,000 improv, comedy and dramatic productions in over 38 states, Central America and the Caribbean. So yeah, he has a thing or two to say about the technology, scripting and overall experience of movies and how they affect us on psychological, sociological, interpersonal and other such levels. He also has a beautiful 16 month old daughter (Jan 2011), so his future movie going experiences will likely include any IMAX 3D staging of Dora the Explorer. He also scuba dives. So ANY movies with scuba diving – bring em! You got reactions to the movies? Bring em!

Peter has loved the cinema as an escape and as a place for romantic interludes since Young Frankenstein was ten years old. While he fell asleep during “Star Wars”, he saw “The Empire Strikes Back” eleven times over the summer of 1981. He has had similar obsessions with “Ferris Bueller” and “Roadhouse”. Over time, his interest in movies has evolved to the point to where he regularly uses them as teaching tools in his church. In 2003, he introduced “Popcorn Theology” to St. John’s Church, Lafayette Square in Washington, DC. In 2009, he led a week-long study on theological themes of redemption and resurrection at Kanuga Conference Center in Hendersonville, NC. He recently became rector of St. Margaret’s Church in Annapolis, MD.

Peter is the lucky husband to Allison and proud father of Sarah and Allen. They totally inhibit his Netflix jones. His favorite actors are Keira Knightley, Matt Damon, Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.

Accidentally born in Italy two scores and a handful of years ago, he discovers movies pretty early in his pointless existence, and it’s love at first sight (at least from his point of view. He suspects that movies like him just as a friend, but he never asked). After moving to the U.S., his affair with celluloid continues, stronger as ever, only in English. He is a professional Mega Million player, but he occasionally works here and there to support his main activity. He recently learned the meaning of the word “Apocope,” and he’s very proud about it. If it ever happens, ask him about it. You’ll see a glitter in his eyes.

Matteo is also an accomplished author if books about film. You can view and purchase them at AMAZON.COM. And for the Italian-inclined, this link’s for you: AMAZON.COM.

Christanna grew up a science-fiction-obessed little actress always dreaming to be the action hero in space. Among her favorites like “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” (she recently met both Mark Hamill and William Shatner and nearly fainted), her earliest film memory was when she was four years old and had stumbled upon “Aliens” in a hotel room with her half-brother. It scared it her so much that she loved it and wanted more than anything to grow up and be Ripley. Hence, she lives in L.A. now.

GOALS: to play Samus Aran, to write Metroid, to kill aliens.

Steve Scholz’s early exposure to film work began at age 7 when his father, Charles Scholz (co-author of The Super 8 Handbook), helped him shoot a Batman movie on Super 8. Steve directed the silent color short, which featured his 4-year-old brother as Robin, a neighbor kid as Batman, his grandfather as Commissioner Gordon, and another young friend as their villain, The Poker. Highlights include: the 30 degree angle shot when The Poker makes his entrance; Batman wearing a front-only-Bat-Cowl which showcased his blonde hair; and a choreographed fight in a kitchen, where heroes and villain each stand one foot away from a visible line of masking tape and then repeatedly punch the air in front of them. All copies of the film (1) have been safely protected from any potential YouTube piracy.

Today, Steve lives in Chicago and works as an actor, writer and director. He’s glad to see so many great films being made and screened, even if they can’t compete with his “No-Budget Batman.”

Mark Tucci has been criticizing films since throwing candy at the screen during a showing of “The Black Hole” when he was 11. Having matured (somewhat) since then, he has given up throwing candy, but hasn’t given up his desire to comment on films – hence his contributions to The Movie Guys. Mark’s well-thought views on the film industry trickle down from the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest, where a good flick is always a welcome way to avoid the seasonal rainstorms.

Adam Witt is a founding member of the comedy group Schadenfreude but, aside from playing midnights at The Playground in 1997, he cannot take credit for many of the groups good ideas. Adam spent much of his life in Ohio before a decade-long stint in Chicago where he resides to this day as far as you know. Adam has lived in Ravenswood, Edgewater, and Wrigleyville twice to make sure it sucked as much as he thought it did.
Adam once worked a night-job as a telephone sanitizer and rode the El every night at midnight for three years. He was also a Boom Operator on a David Carradine movie and a Carney in Carbondale for one summer. When not writing for Schadenfreude.net, Adam can be found editing the penetration out of “Hotel Porn” and shoehorning “Raising Arizona” quotes into normal conversations.
Adam has been a Netflix member since 1999, is currently watching “White Lightning” with Burt Reynolds, and never refers to himself in the third person, unless he’s writing his own bio.
