I am a movie geek at heart, it’s in my blood and coded into my DNA. I started watching movies at an early age and my tastes have expanded over the years. I went to film school, but I work in a corporate office. Nonetheless, I am still a kid inside that wants to be a filmmaker when I grow up.

Favorite Movie/Director/Whatever:

I just can’t narrow it down to one. A few of my favorites include: A Clockwork Orange, Citizen Kane, Seven Samurai, The Usual Suspects, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, etc., etc. Easily, my favorite living directors include: Werner Herzog, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, David Cronenberg, Zhang Yimou, Terry Gilliam, Danny Boyle and the Coen brothers.

Born with a camera in hand, Jerry Cavallaro was destined to be a great filmmaker. Legend has it that he even filmed his own birth. Now Jerry resides in New York where he also studies film. He recently completed his first feature; a low budget comedy called Stuck Like Chuck. He is also known for his movie watching skills, after coming in 3rd place in the first ever Netflix Movie Watching World Championship. Jerry hopes to bring his passion for movies, both behind the camera and in front of the screen, to his writing on this site.

Born in a small town in Illinois, I started hanging out with the guys and watching obscure and horrific movies… maybe that’s why I didn’t date much in high school… lol. 27 with the nickname of Wrath and a bachelors in Art Therapy from Millikin University, yet the thing I spend the most time doing is wearing out my DVD player watching both awesome and awesomely bad movies! Oh, and I’m a Pisces that enjoys long walks on the beach! lol

Favorite Movies: A Nightmare on Elm Street series, Reform School Girls, Labyrinth, The Crow, Beetlejuice, Feast, Fright Night, anything Tim Burton, Dead Poets Society, Amelie, etc… I’m a sucker for a cheesy storyline, but I love a good slashing!

I’m not your typical chick-flick kinda woman. My take on a movie will be decidedly different than your usual gal-pal. I’m more of the ilk who loved JAWS, Terminator and T2, Alien and Aliens, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Matrix (the 1st one-only!), The Right Stuff, 12 Monkeys, Crank, Pulp Fiction, Gladiator, 28, Days Later, Shawn of the Dead, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and ALL M. Night Shyamalan films – even Lady in the Water…..just some examples of my likes and movies my feminine friends wouldn’t be caught dead in.

I love film scores – I have a plethora of soundtracks, the Academy Awards – my High Holy Day, and movie trailers.

I hail from Connecticut… I still root for east coast sports teams… HUGE UCONN hoops fan, Love the Red Sox and the New England Patriots… In another life, I was a Newscast Director for a CBS affiliate before moving to St. Louis 10 years ago. (All hail KBCI, Ch.2)

In west Philadelphia born and raised, on the playground where I spent most of my days… Ok so in actuality that’s total crap. I’m actually from California, born in SoCal but living north of the Bay Area my entire life. I’m absolutely obsessed with Nerd culture and lifestyles. I’ve had a million jobs and by a million I mean I worked retail for Apple during the Christmas season of ‘06 and said “Screw this,” and my life has been dedicated to finding a way to hone my nerd skills into a paycheck… still waiting on that.

A few years ago I called into the Opie and Anthony radio show and apparently came off pretty well informed, at least informed enough that Opie started calling me Kent the Movie Guy and asked me to call in from time to time. Since then It’s been movies, movies and more movies. I have a rather large collection of DVDs ranging from Anime, to Foreign Film to Documentaries and a LOT of sci-fi. Sci-fi is where I can let my Nerd flag fly. I’ve easily seen over 5000 movies and have about a a thousand on DVD.

Favorite Movies: Some of my favorite films are: Star Wars, Hunt for the Red October, Ronin, Children of Men, Fight Club, Seven Samurai, Kill Bill, Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Sin City, Vanilla Sky, Lost in Translation and Leonard Part 6.

Contributing Editor/Chicago Guy

Originally from St. Louis (go Cardinals!), I currently reside in Chicago and will NEVER root for the Cubs.  I attended Truman State University and earned two BAs in Theater and Psychology, neither of which I am currently using.  After a brief stint in acting, I now prefer to enjoy my cinematic experiences in front of the screen, as opposed to the camera.

I was raised to love movies: the good, the bad, and the “so bad they’re brilliant”.  A brief list of Fave Movies: High Fidelity, All The Real Girls, Pi, American Beauty, Superbad, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Snow Falling on Cedars, City of God, Sideways, Shawshank Redemption, Lost In Translation, Brick, The Godfather I & II, The Royal Tenenbaums, Go, Swingers, Juno, Love Me If You Dare, The Aviator, Pan’s Labyrinth, LOTR.   Comedy, drama, romance, horror, action…   Bring it.

Other than movies, my interests include: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mixed martial arts, investment real estate, reading, world religions, and quantum physics.
