I joined the forum back in 2016 when invited by Mike and Craig, but rarely posted due to commitments in other places. Well, I just freed up some time and will be lurking and posting here on most days.
My love of movies started when I was 8 and saw Star Wars in theaters...wow, what an experience. I've loved them ever since. Back in 2004, I was asked by Kris Deering if I wanted to review movies with him on the now closed website,
www.hometheaterspot.com. Two years after that, I was recruited to do equipment reviews for
www.ultimateavmag.com, which merged with
www.hometheatermag.com, which is now
www.soundandvision.com. I've been writing for the print magazine for the past 13 or so years writing movie and equipment reviews. My favorite types are movies and subwoofers--who doesn't love good bass?
When Home Theater Spot was sold to Home Theater Equipment, I continued to write Blu-ray reviews (and then UHD Blu-ray reviews) there, but the site closed down today, 3/26/2019, so from today forward, I'll be posting reviews of discs here...please drop into the review section and say hello and let me know whether you like, or dislike, a particular review. I don't get paid for the reviews I do online, although I do get the movies sent to me from the studios due to longstanding relationships that I've built over the years with the varying PR agencies and publicity departments at the major studios.
I attempt to review as many new releases as possible and the occasional "hot" catalog title that gets rereleased on UHD to let you know whether I think an upgrade is worth the $$$. Anyway, thanks to Craig for welcoming me to post my reviews here and I look forward to everyone's feedback.
