Andrew Robinson
I love movies, I love TV so obviously I blog. You can read all my other ramblings on this and that over at http://gmanreviews.com


Casey Carroll
Casey Carroll grew up a huge fan of television and film. He was born in Marietta, GA but grew up in Murfreesboro, TN. Casey has also been involved in theatre from a very young age. Casey is now a 24-year-old college student at Middle Tennessee State University majoring in Video Production and Film Studies. Watching TV and movies are just two of Casey’s many hobbies that he is very passionate about. Growing up in the south has been quite an experience but he is hoping to move to New York City one day to further pursue his dreams in filmmaking.


Catherine Edison
Cat lives in Texas, is a huge Zombiephile, is a lover of comics, graphic novels and music, and has a passion for writing. Mom to a newborn boy, 6 y/o step-daughter and 2 rotten dogs. Plays upright bass, gets emotionally invested in movie/TV/book characters and though she has a "day job", she still holds on to her hopes and dreams of writing in the entertainment industry for a living.


Chris Baldwin
Chris Baldwin is a sometimes college student, a most of the time pop culture geek, and an all the time aspiring comic book writer. He loves: movies, comics, good television, (no Snookis or Kardashians please and thank you) short fiction, long fiction, Stephen King’s fiction, all things Nintendo, music, standup comedy, sushi, and beer. He is from the south; Midway, Kentucky to be exact. GO CATS!! He’s required by state law to say that. He has spent the last few years attending college at Western Kentucky University where he’s been studying pop culture, creative writing, and film. Sometimes, he turns off the geek and enjoys the great outdoors, but only sometimes.


Daniel Johnson
Daniel Johnson grew up in Santa Barbara, CA. Son of an archaeologist, he spent his childhood years developing a fondness of nature and the outdoors, which was rivaled only for his love of filmmaking and storytelling. In 2008 he graduated from the University of Southern California's film program, and currently makes a living as an editor in addition to working on his own creative projects. He has a weakness for redheads, seafood pasta, and dinosaurs.


Daniel Sarath
Daniel is a 21 year old student journalist who has been writing film news and reviews online for the last two years. His work can be seen at Screen Invasion, Hey U Guys, Brit Scene and Lost In The Multiplex. He also runs a blog at http://www.newincinema.com. His favourite films include The Assassination Of Jesse James, Citizen Kane and Mulholland Drive and his greatest achievements so far include watching all the Harry Potter movies back-to-back and being told to fuck off by Val Kilmer at a film premiere.


Eric Ambler
Casually named after a Welsh spy novelist his parents discovered in a reference book, Eric Ambler had little choice but to write. A movie correspondent for Screen Invasion and creator of Ambler Amblog, Eric can be found haunting matinees, double features, and karaoke bars across Los Angeles. He studied history at the University of Southern California and is currently pursuing a master's degree in library science, but harbors a dream of launching his own revival house so he can show all his favorite films in 35mm.


Hannah Denby
To say Hannah is passionate about music would be an understatement. Having spent the last four years spending all of her time and money seeing as many gigs as possible, she decided to mix her love of music with her skills as a writer. She has written for her local student newspaper, and also has her own blog. You can expect to see Hannah writing about a wide range of music, including her favourite artists Joanna Newsom, Muse, and The Mountain Goats.


J.C. De Leon
Hailing from Austin, Tx. J.C. is maybe the biggest fan of sports movies you'll ever see. He's got an affinity for great writing and two of his favorites are Aaron Sorkin and Shane Black. When he's not watching movies at home, he can be found watching movies at the Alamo Drafthouse. He occasionally tries to play video games, but he's not very good at them. Follow him on Twitter for witty tweets and pictures of his cats.


Jessi
Jessi was born and raised in Chicago, but she left her heart in NYC. She has been to more concerts than days of school, but somehow still made her way to university. Her idea of fun is an evening of karaoke to the worst songs of the '90s while a lit cigarette lies burning in the corner. She used to refer to herself as an "aspiring music journalist" but one day, she just woke up and decided she was one. That being said, she's always writing and always hungry for more. Anything of the 'rock' persuasion gets her motor running, ya dig?


Jim Napier
Jim is a journalist, film advocate, social media guru and geek about town. He has a passion for writing coupled with a love of cinema.He has a voracious appetite for all forms of media, including movies, music, TV and video games.


Jon Richard
Born in on the chilly east coast of Canada, Jon has grow up to enjoy the warm glow of the television screen. Growing up on everything from the A-Team to Buffy the Vampire Slayer this led him to fall in love with all types of genres. This love quickly spread to film, music, and pretty much anything with a plot and pictures. A gamer geek at heart he’s never left a form of media behind, which has become a costly habit. With a dream of working in the film industry someday, he’s currently of educating himself on everything that is media.


Karin Abcarians
Karin is a 21 year old journalist who has been in love with writing for most of her life. She originally started writing a lot of poetry and stories, but when she began watching a lot of movies she developed a love for film and the entertainment business, and now her writing has turned into film reviews, movie talk, music talk, and basic news about the entertainment business and whatnot. Her all time favorite film is, The Nightmare Before Christmas. She is the biggest Tim Burton fan alive. She also loves sports, (GO LAKERS!), All things Harry Potter, All things The Hunger Games, sleeping, spending time with her family and hanging out with her friends. She also reads, almost all the time. Her all time favorite books are the Harry Potter books. She is also a photographer....check out her stuff here: http://karinabcariansphotography.weebly.com/index.html


Kevin Taylor
I grew up in the south, raised watching TV, Movies, and Sports. Entertainment is my life, and I can't imagine what my life would be like without it. I'm a USC grad, and proud to be a Trojan for life! Some of my favorite shows include South Park, Always Sunny, Dexter, and How I Met Your Mother, which I write a weekly recap of here. I also play and report on poker for a living. Its a hard way to make an easy living!


Kristal Bailey
With a soft spot for movies that fall into the “So Bad They’re Good” category, she regularly watches B-movies, 80s comedies, and sci-fi from the 50s and 60s. She also refuses to grow up if that means she has to hide her love for Disney and Pixar films. In her free time, she enjoys reading graphic novels or books that are soon to be turned into movies, watching hours and hours of television, and spending way too much time on Twitter.


Kyle Moody
Kyle Moody is a PhD candidate in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Iowa. His research and writing interests are digital media, online communities, popular culture, video games, and broadcasting/podcasting, and how online culture is responsible for expanding and shrinking communities. His blog Moodicarus explores these issues further, but with pictures and colors! His entertainment loves include music from the Nineties, teen movies, karaoke and bicycling. He lives in Iowa City with his plants, LPs and video game collection, and hails from Georgetown, Kentucky. It’s not recommended that you make fun of his Kentucky Wildcats unless you want to get shown up on the court.


Mal Foster
Writer by day, ski mask wearing vigilante by night. I like bears, sarcasm and magic, not necessarily in that order. Rather fond of summer fruits mixed into some kind of refreshing juice, movies, music and videogames. Also I may not be entirely human.


Marcos Canales
Marcos is a recently converted television junkie whose gateway show was CHUCK, and has added shows like CASTLE, LEVERAGE, GLEE (don't judge), COMMUNITY, and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES to his must-watch list. While he does not have formal ties to the entertainment industry, he's been blogging about TV, movies, and pop culture since 2008.

Sean Guard
In high school, Sean wanted to punch the subject of English right in its face. By far his best class, he hated doing research and writing papers. Ten + years later, he is an aspiring writer. It would seem that career goal of leading the New York Knicks to an NBA championship didn’t quite pan out. He started writing film reviews just over a year ago and became a movie buff even further back than that. He’s dabbled in fiction, poetry and random articles filled with nothingness on his way to hopefully one day becoming a published author. Hopes high, right now he’s over there sitting in the corner with his fingers crossed.


Shemoviegeek
Movie obsessed since I can remember, learned how to work the house's VHS when I was 7. When I finished Mario Bros 3 first among my friends, I taped it and sent it to them as proof. Was lucky enough to have an scholarship to study arts and movies,also made a long course on American Screenplay. Married to an amazing tech geek who's nice enough to let me configure electronics around the house, since I love those as well. And yes, in my book, Solo shot first. I also write for shemoviegeek.com


Tatiana Sulovska
Tatiana was born in Czechoslovakia, a country that is no more, but has called LA her home for the last eight years. She holds a graduate degree in international relations, worked as an editor for a political weekly, but is also deeply enamored with art house cinema: it was a love at first sight, if not, then definitely at first film club membership. All time favorites: My Own Private Idaho (Gus Van Sant), The Mirror (Tarkovsky), Drowning by Numbers (Greenaway). When not watching films, she writes poetry.
