I'm the founder of Moviepie.com where I've written reviews for over two (!) decades. I'm a member of the Seattle Film Critics Society (SFCS) since 2022 and GALECA (the Society of LGBTQ+ Entertainment Critics Association) since 2025. I'm based in the Seattle area. My favorite films include Gone With the Wind, Purple Rain, and A Room With a View. I have a fondness for what I call "space stories" and movies with talking animals. I don't believe there is such a thing as a guilty pleasure movie. Own what you love!

Count me among those who loved loved LOVED the 1999 German film Run Lola Run (no commas… she’s too rushed!). It seems a little odd to make an homage to film that was neither recent enough, or actually even old enough to be considered a classic. But there you...

Once again it’s time for the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival, or as we like to call it, The Festival of the Gays! You can catch a bunch of reviews right here on the Moviepie blog once the fest starts. The festival runs October 16th through 25th, and...

This book is not really *written* by Kevin Smith, but it is literally just transcripts of his podcast called, well, “Smodcast”. Enjoying the sound of his own voice, and that of his hilarious buddy Scott Mosier, they decided to share these random conversations in a podcast. Topics? You know,...

To Madonna’s credit, she got Eugene Hutz to star in her first film as a director. Not conventionally handsome, Eugene has a big nose, handlebar moustache, a floppy mullet, and is tall and kind of gangly. But if you’ve seen this guy (acting) in the fabulous Everything is Illuminated...

OK, I love maps, and I love movies… I love THIS! Such fun! (Click the image to increase the size… thanks to http://blog.dailyfill.com/bestpicture.html)

The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard is one of those movies that either has you at the start or, well, doesn’t. If you are not sold on the smooth, crass schtick of the movie from the beginning, there is little in the rest of the film to win you...
Comic-Con is all the frenzy this week, as studios roll out teasers for new and/or highly anticipated movies coming out over the next year or so. Of course, there is no buzz hotter than that for The Twilight Saga: New Moon. A good friend of movie*pie (who inadvertently ended...

As I’ve admitted in past Harry Potter movie reviews, I still have (at this point) not read the books. It still holds true that I’ve only finished the first novel, and that was years and years ago. The way I see it, now that the book series is done,...

The best thing about Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the introduction, which served as a trailer for the film, and plays like a fabulous short film. Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel has found his elusive acorn, only to be confronted by an impossible nemesis: a girl squirrel! chaos...
We’ve all seen hilarious movie remixes like Brokeback to the Future, and The Shining (as a romantic comedy). Now check out this freakin’ HEEE-LARIOUS mix of the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight, as incredulous, sarcastic, and disbelieving Buffy deals with strange, vampish, stalker-boy Edward Cullen. The...
I admit, I’m a fiend for movie trailers. I hate commercials in movie theaters, but I love love love seeing the trailers before the feature film. And just about as much as I love trailers, I love lists, and now IFC has come up with their own list of...
Sure, this idea seems good when you have a year like 1939, where there are at least two handfuls of movies (if not more) that are destined to be classics. But what is the last year that you can honestly say that the five Best Picture nominees were all...
