About Me

According to my mother, I've quit more jobs than most people have ever had. In addition to "Closely Watched," I contribute film centric writing to Nylon and Nylon Guys magazines and "Inside Movies" over at Moviefone.com. Before the internet existed, I lived in Cali, dabbled in film, and rode tacos trucks. My films have been seen at Cannes, Seattle, Telluride, LA and other festivals, and are available on DVD, iTunes and select airplanes. My fiction has appeared in Zoetrope All-Story Magazine, Mississippi Review, Alaska Quarterly, and other literary journals. Follow me on Twitter! It's fun!

What I'm Up To

  • Nylon Magazine

    In Nylon’s Feb issue, out now, you can read my reviews of I Love You Philip Morris, featuring a fearless Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as lovers who meet in prison, Happy Tears, with Demi Moore and Parker Posey playing very believable sisters in an otherwise unfocused film, The Art of the Steal, a fascinating doc about dirty politics in the Philadelphia art world, Red Riding, a 70’s era English serial killer drama told in 3 different films, and The Yellow Handkerchief, a small, uneven film set in post-Katrina New Orleans with the lovely Maria Bello and the dependable William Hurt (oh, and this other chick, somebody called Kristen Stewart?).

    Nylon Magazine

     
  • Nylon Guys

    Check out my Q & A with Sir Tony Hopkins and my profile of the guys from the new HBO series, ‘How to Make it in America’ (Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk) in the new issue of Nylon Guys, out now.

  • AFI top 100

    apartment

    6 down. Only 94 to go. After a break, #93 on the list, The Apartment, is coming soon. I promise.

     
  • Inside Movies

    I’ve recently started contributing to the ‘Inside Movies‘ site at Moviefone.com. The site puts out a ridiculous amount of film content, updating with new stuff nearly every hour of the day.
