Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Aaron is a movie fanatic and loves writing and talking about such things, a lot. Born and raised in Orange County, California, he earned a degree or two at UC Santa Barbara. Aaron describes himself as a film reviewer, writer, podcaster, gamer, comic reader, disc golfer, and a lefty. He fell in love with movies at a young age and has continued viewing, studying, and analyzing all aspects of the medium ever since. His mind is full of film knowledge and random trivia, but he is always open to learning more, whether it's through box office stats, reviewing Blu-rays from The Criterion Collection or simply hearing first hand from filmmakers and others about various productions and behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Point Blank (1967) 93% EDIT “Point Blank was an exciting pick to join the Criterion library, yet it feels like a film that could have been included long ago. Now it’s finally here, and the results are terrific. ” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Affection (2025) 82% 4/10 EDIT “There’s little to really chew on and appreciate as far as having another story focused on a woman figuring out how to drive herself away from a toxic abuser.” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review An Autumn Summer (2024) 5/10 EDIT “I do have to wonder if more could have been done to give it a stronger arc. ” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Magic Hour (2025) 57% 6/10 EDIT “While familiar and not quite pronounced enough in its screenplay to make it stronger, Magic Hour does manage to resist some tropes by way of an early twist.” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) 93% 7/10 EDIT “Seeing all of this through the lens of a 3D camera, I found myself completely taken in by the concert and the various perspectives it would have.” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Reckless (2026) 6/10 EDIT “Director Elliot Montello is taking on his first full-on action film here, and the results are fine. That largely comes down to the well-choreographed fights on display and the sheer energy Adkins delivers in his quest to right a situation.” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Is God Is (2026) 98% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a blast of Southern Gothic thrills meshed with a revenge story and a subversion of family drama dynamics. Is God Is is visually striking, well-acted, violent, funny, and a real explosion of thematic intrigue rooted in a form of justice.” – We Live Entertainment May 13, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 95% EDIT “Most importantly, the incredible work by Inde Navarrette holds all of this together thanks to her commitment.” – We Live Entertainment May 11, 2026 Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2026) 65% EDIT “Now we have Mortal Kombat II, a sequel that follows the traditional pattern of going larger, and in this case, it actually proved better. Shortcoming aside, this bigger, bloodier brawler kontains plenty of fun and killer action.” – We Live Entertainment May 6, 2026 Full Review The Serpent's Skin (2025) 93% 7/10 EDIT “As something bizarre, fun, and different, this is a trippy one to keep an eye out for.” – We Live Entertainment May 1, 2026 Full Review Apex (2026) 66% 7/10 EDIT “It’s the way this film goes from a cat-and-mouse game to one where they need to rely on each other. None of this is super deep, but there’s a large amount of fun to behold in this 90-minute quick hit that was much appreciated.” – We Live Entertainment May 1, 2026 Full Review Deep Water (2026) 71% 5/10 EDIT “A film from the director of Deep Blue Sea and Cliffhanger, feeling like it’s largely on autopilot, didn’t do any favors for my enjoyment. A true shame because the premise is sound.” – We Live Entertainment May 1, 2026 Full Review RZA's One Spoon of Chocolate (2025) 39% 7/10 EDIT “Looking at RZA’s past couple of films, including Cut Throat City, it shows a filmmaker who has been building toward a proper balance of action, thrills, and thematic weight. One Spoon of Chocolate finds the proper outlet for these many ideas.” – We Live Entertainment May 1, 2026 Full Review Hokum (2026) 89% 7/10 EDIT “As is, the movie plays something like a puzzle box combined with the paranoia generally found in folk horror. This all does make for a mostly entertaining movie; I just wish a follow-up to Oddity had a bit more to say or freak me out.” – We Live Entertainment May 1, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% EDIT “The Devil Wears Prada 2 may not replicate the same sense of iconography as the first, but it recreates that fun well enough and feels more balanced by consistently wearing its best looks.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Balls Up (2026) 23% 3/10 EDIT “And yet, Wahlberg feels that Boogie Nights was the film he needed to apologize to his fellow Catholics for.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Special Op: Rent-a-Cop (2026) 2/10 EDIT “This is a dull affair that lacks any real understanding of how to use the talent it has—nothing special about this one.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review The Addiction of Hope (2025) 7/10 EDIT “The Addiction of Hope clearly comes from a place of familiarity. Director Martin Grey captures it well and balances it with a solid story about the importance of family.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Beast (2026) 82% 7/10 EDIT “With enough to offer for any viewer that enjoys these types of stories, Beast is a beast of a film that knows how to walk the familiar lines and deliver to its advantage.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Roommates (2026) 65% 5/10 EDIT “It’s just a shame the movie doesn’t remotely stick the landing.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review I Swear (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “It takes a lot to keep this from feeling like a wildly overblown performance. But yes, Aramayo earns the praise he has received.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% EDIT “It treats Michael with a high level of respect to a fault, barely skimming the surface of many of its more interesting ideas, and ultimately serves as half a movie. ” – We Live Entertainment Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Thrash (2026) 42% 6/10 EDIT “This movie shouldn’t really work, and in a lot of ways, it doesn’t. However, I had a decent amount of fun watching what doubles as a disaster movie and a shark-attack flick.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Napa Boys (2025) 50% 5/10 EDIT “o its credit, The Napa Boys’ first half, in particular, is its strongest. The weirdness of what’s going on is well balanced by the realizations about what the film is doing. ” – We Live Entertainment Apr 18, 2026 Full Review The Mountain (2024) 91% 7/10 EDIT “House also clearly wants to tell a story that celebrates New Zealand’s diversity, from the manner of speech to the characters’ choices.” – We Live Entertainment Apr 18, 2026 Full Review
