Film movie guides & reviews

With the hilarious 'instant cult classic' ""Seagalogy"", Vern wrote a book that shook the very foundations of film criticism. Now he's back, and this time he's got all of 'the films of badass cinema' in his sights! From ""Die Hard"" to ""The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie"", ""Transformers"" to ""Mary Poppins"", Vern has an opinion on everything, and he's not shy about sharing them.

As a frequent writer for Ain't It Cool News, Vern has gained notoriety for his unorthodo reviewing style and his expertise in ""the films of Badass Cinema."" His review of the slasher movie CHAOS earned him a wrestling challenge from its director; his explosive essay on the PG-13 rating of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD prompted Bruce Willis himself to walk barefoot across the broken glass of movie nerd message boards to respond.
