The Guys

Some quick info about the 3 guys:

Scotty:


Scott Anderson is? Quite a question
Scotty is an avid movie watcher that leans more towards drama and suspense in my viewing and choosing of movies.  Not to say that Scott does not like comedies, as long as they are well done and they make him laugh.  Scott began watching movies seriously after high school and after taking a few classes in college on Film but movies have always been a part of his life.  He had never understood the depth of a great film until it was explained to him but one thing he did know was that he left the movie theatre with an emotional response and often would think about movies for weeks at a time after seeing them.  He enjoys talking about movies and is a keen observer of human behavior both in and out of the theatre.  Scott writes bio’s in the third person because every website about writing bio’s said to do so.  Scott feels strange about this.
Scotty believes that special effects have ruined the film industry in some respects and often blames the public’s short attention span and busy lifestyle. Scott finds it astonishing when people say that cannot watch a black and white movie.  Scott once wrote a screenplay in 2 ½ weeks and after it was done he put it in the drawer where things go. I also worked as an extra on the movie Duty Dating which I have yet to see.
Scott Anderson lives in Millbury, Massachusetts, after 2 stints in California.  He is married with 3 great children, all boys.  They like Star Wars which is refreshing.  Scott is a singer/songwriter, this has become more of a hobby than lifestyle unless you’re looking to buy some songs or need a jingle.  He works overnights in a residential facility.  This gives him the ability to watch many movies when he is not playing XBOX.

 

Griff:

Griff was born and raised in Millbury, Ma. He is a graduate of Worcester State University with a degree in Psychology. Griff spent many years working as teacher of at risk youth in the Worcester county area. In 2006 he packed up his belongings and headed west. He currently lives in Laguna Beach, CA. and works in the IT field.

Griff is a life-long lover of movies ever since his parents took him to see Star Wars when he was 5. (yep, he is that old) Griff has a particular love for classic cinema and has a TCM app on his phone so he always knows what’s going to be on.

He has no formal training in doing movie reviews other than a brief flirtation with a major in Media/Mass communications in college.

When he is not working or watching movies Griff spends his time reliving his childhood on the XBOX, reading, and playing old men’s softball.

 


Adam:

Adam was raised in bucolic Millbury Massachusetts.  He attended Millbury High school where he played both varsity basketball and soccer.  Lacking any natural athletic abilities he was encouraged to beat the opposing teams senseless.  Adam took to this role as goon and enforcer with unmitigated glee.  He is a graduate of Clark University in Worcester MA where he majored in History with a double minor in poon tang and keg beer.

Upon matriculation after an all too brief five years, Adam worked and taught in several group homes and alternative high schools.   He eventually met a wonderful woman and convinced her to move to sunny So Cal with him.  After a few more years dealing with county social workers and ungrateful spoiled children, Adam became disillusioned with helping wayward children.  More and more he came to think they all needed a good solid thrashing and or deportation back to their native lands.   Finding his innovative out side the box thinking not welcome as part of the therapeutic milieu, he opened a business buying and selling vintage clothing on eBay and at antique malls.

This all changed 3 years ago with the birth of his son Adam Jr.  Adam became a stay at home dad.  However, Adam despises that term and would much prefer you refer to him as a trophy husband.  Adam now spends his days chasing around a 3 year-old, cleaning, cooking, shopping, doing laundry, chopping brush and keeping the misses as happy as possible.  Adam is fond of the saying “if she is happy, everyone is happy”.

Adam did take a few classes in film studies however he did not pay very much attention and one shouldn’t assume his blogs will be anymore professional or insightful because of his coursework.  He does however enjoy movies and discussing movies and telling you why your wrong about your opinions.    Adam has several other leisure time pursuits.  These include playing softball a few times a week, going to the beach, pwning noobs on Xbox, drinking the finest beers he can find and attempting to grow vegetables in his organicish garden.

Adam currently resides in Sunny San Clemente California with his beautiful wife and son.  He also has a dog, 3 cats, assorted tropical fish and should be considered armed and dangerous, approach with caution.

Adam is certainly mean in any competitive situation, I have been beaten and bruised from the cheap shot artist known as Adam Griffith

Do you have to have facial hair to work for this site?

Can a man without facial hair truly be trusted?

yeah I don’t think I really trust a guy who does not at least have a pencil thin mustache.

I’d never have expected, after seeing you’re picture, that you’re a stay at home dad, Adam. I guess I mean that as a compliment. You all seem to have a weakness for the XBox ;) .
And Scott: check out the IMDB link on Duty Dating: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160239/. It has a 4.7 rating, haha. Anyhow, I’d love to work as an extra in some movie, no matter how bad it is.

Mette, don’t let picture fool you. It’s nothing at all like what he looks like. I think he had that mohawk for all of ten minutes. :-D

I’ve heard that at one point there was another guy. Who was he?

Hey Alexandar, well before I came on board, The mysterious Klash used to write up reviews, he bacame too busy with his job as secret agent or something like that to continue full-time, and I took his slot. However, word on the street is he might start doing some guest reviews. Speaking of guest reviews, we have had a couple from our friend Jo Jo and Gary, and I think my friend Dom might be doing one soon. We may actually have to start up a separate guest blogger profile section.

What a great About page! Usually when I see a longish About page I just skim it because I just want the quick facts. But I read every single word. Because you guys are awesome. You made a follower out of me for sure!

Also, Adam, I hate the phrase stay at home dad too. Have you considered stay at home dude? You could be the kind of guy that drinks White Russians and listens to whale songs in the tub. Maybe go bowling with your chums once in a while.

Hey Adam! I just cruised over from my Statis Pro Baseball site to check out your movie blog, and lo and behold, yours is just like ours: I share a movie review blog with two other guys as well! Cool that you each answer questions about the film you just watched. Ours is a little more loose, with a review a day by one of us, two of us, or all three. I’ll be back later to explore your other posts!
