I am a member of CCA, the Hollywood Creatives Association and the Online Film Critics Society and a Tomatometer-approved critic. I've written for the Rafu Shimpo, LA Weekly, LA Times, Examiner.com, Pasadena Weekly AsAm News and RogerEbert.com. I formerly worked for a dot-com more interested in yodeling than its customers.
