Brian is first and foremost a nerd in every way shape and form. He likes to compare himself to a black hole, consuming any and every form of entertainment unlucky enough to get caught in his gravitational pull. It's not uncommon on any given day for him to read a couple comics, settle down with a good book, watch a few movies (inside and out of the theater), catch up on his ever growing but never depleting Hulu queue, challenge himself with a few good video games, listen to any music he can get his hands on and, of course, write his heart out. He spends every waking moment dreaming up interesting and intriguing concepts and ideas that will hopefully one day inspire and entertain anyone looking for an escape from their daily lives. Graduating from Full Sail University in good old humid Florida, Brian currently lives and works in New York City and is waiting for the day when all he has to do is wake up and create something unique and new for people to enjoy. He is always in the process of writing scripts and stories and is constantly on the lookout for ways to enhance and build his creative drive. After all, life is just one big story, all that really matters is how you strive to make it the best story possible. Disclaimer: Brian does not actually have powdered green skin in case anyone was wondering. A Skrull I am not. Blame the guys at the Color Run for this one.

This movie is one of the best releases of the year, but for some insane reason, didn’t get the respect or make the money it

This one was rough to watch, given the state of America nowadays, but it’s hands down a film worth experiencing. Set in a very near

John Wick, this is not, but it does a damn good job of trying to live up to that film’s standards, and I’m here for

At least this one is better than Godzilla vs. Kong, and fortunately, that’s saying a lot, considering how disappointing that film was. Set three years

I almost wonder if seeing this one at home in the dead hours of the night might have made the viewing experience even better, you

This franchise is going in the wrong direction, and after such a stellar legacy sequel in 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, that’s a big disappointment. Continuing the paranormal

I still don’t know if I care for the overall world of Dune, but I won’t complain if these movies keep getting made. I hear there

I think the biggest travesty (out of many) in this one came in the form of what the production thought a Metro North train to

This film is so bad that I watched two people get up and leave before the credits rolled, and I seriously considered going with them.
