About Us
CollegeMovieReview.com was founded in October of 2007 when a college student decided it was time for people to hear the opinions of average movie fans. So, in his one bedroom apartment, he spent his final semester at the University of Texas deriving a way to reach a young audience and knowledge them on what was worthy of their part-time paychecks. More writers have been brought on since that day, but they all share a common bond about movies. They each enjoy watching, talking about and analyzing media entertainment; however, none have been schooled in film criticism. They each represent a different sector of the movie market, crafting a way to connect with you, the reader, like a friend. While we focus on film, we also enjoy dabbing our noses in television, stage productions and music. There isn't a movie too small for our coverage, and we have an undying love for the underdog. Give us a try, we hope you like what you see!
College Movie Review Writers
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who...
With a background in history, communications, and
literature, my profound love of interesting stories pretty much automatically
requires me to enjoy film. By day, I work at a nonprofit, but I spend a
significant portion of my free time surrounded by film in some way. If I leave
a film and can’t remember a single thing I actually liked, it’s a bad day. I like a wide range of movies and can

Like many film critics born during and after the 1980s, my hero is Roger Ebert. The man was already the best critic in the nation when he won the Pulitzer in 1975, but his indomitable spirit during and after his recent battle with cancer keeps me coming back to read not only his reviews but his insightful commentary on the everyday. But enough about a guy you know a lot about.I knew I was going to...

I joined the CollegeMovieReview.com team in the summer of 2011, contributing as a critic and feature writer. Through my experiences I have been able to attend the prestigious Sundance Film Festival and had the opportunity to brush shoulders with the likes of Roland Emmerich, Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Heche, and Lizzy Caplain.I currently contribute from the always amazing Austin, TX where I sing...
I’m just another film school nerd whose massive movie collection made up for a serious lack of relationships, romantic and friendly alike. In the past, I was slightly OCD, a tad agoraphobic, and if you’d asked me to carry on a conversation, I’d have run the other way. But movies and television have always given me a common ground. I can speak for hours about the brilliance of the...
Like many college students, I don't have a lot of time to watch movies. So when I do get the opportunity I seem to always head straight for the blockbusters. I would say I'm a fairly simple moviegoer. I am easily excited when it comes to the newest, big –budget releases and enjoy watching A-list actors in leading roles. I'm not a big fan indie movies, but I do enjoy a good one ev...
And that’s how I ended up writing for College Movie Review…Oh, I’m sorry, I have this terrible habit of telling stories in a non linear fashion. I blame this entirely on Christopher Nolan. Well I guess I’ll jump back to the beginning then. When I was 6 years old, I was sitting entirely too close to the TV and flipping quickly through the channels. I suddenly came across a movie w...
