Movies For Guys is a site dedicated to movies guys like to see. We're talking about movies with lots of action, babes, comedy and the occasional drama as well (who didn't like Braveheart?) Reviews are done in a lighter style that you may be used to if you normally just look at reviews in your local paper, or watch a certain show about movies on TV. This is intentional! Movies are supposed to be fun! Sure, there are movies that lean towards serious subject matters, and these movies will be treated as they should, but you will not be subjected to a bunch of stuffy movie reviews on this site. Take a few minutes and read some of our reviews... if our philosophy seems close to yours, you may have just found the perfect movie site!

We rate movies using the familiar star system, though the meanings of our stars may be different than what you are used to. First of all, how many times do you see any other review site give a movie 5 stars? What's the point of having a 5 star rating if you are afraid to use it? Same goes for 1 star... some movies just don't need to be seen.

5 Stars = Go see it, period.
4 Stars = You should really see this on the big screen.
3 Stars = Good movie. Worth the price of admission but don't be too upset if you miss it.
2 Stars = Not worth paying big money to see. Wait for video.
1 Star = Sucked. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

When applied to DVD reviews, the stars have a little different meaning:

5 Stars = Buy it, you won't be sorry.
4 Stars = Worth adding to your collection.
3 Stars = If you are a fan of the genre or a particular actor you should buy it, otherwise this is a rental.
2 Stars = Rental quality only.
1 Star = Major suckage, the studio should pay you to see this movie.

Billy Bob Goldstein
billybob@moviesforguys.com

Billy Bob is from deep in the heart of the south and is the high-tech redneck personified. He's the type of guy who has two cellphones, a laptop computer and a GPS system in a hopped up 4WD pickup truck with primer on the fender and a busted tail light. Gadgets and being wired are more of a way of life than a hobby for him. Where movies are concerned, he's quick to tell you that Citizen Kane would've been an okay movie if it just had bare breasts and a couple of car chases. And the only thing he's ever enjoyed with Woody Allen in it is MTV's Celebrity Death match between Woody and Spike Lee. His motto is there's always room for a little more nudity or one more explosion.

John Frankel
john@moviesforguys.com

John is somewhat of a geek, and is proud of it. He's very much into high end A/V gear and is our resident Home Theater expert. He also manages to keep his 5 computers busy on some project or another at all times, and still manages to watch several DVD's a week. Leaning towards Sci-Fi as his favorite type of movie, he loves all things Star Trek (with the exception of the cursed 5th movie) and pretty much any other movie that deals with alien creatures or space in general. He has a softer side he doesn't like to talk about and will on occasion watch a "chick flick" if he's bored.

J.C. Edwards
jc@moviesforguys.com

JC is the guy we all know and hate. You know the one, that guy who may not be great at anything but tries everything at least once just so can say he did it. You name it he's tried it and ultimately failed at it so now he does what any smart person in his place would do; He becomes a critic. Once a Professional Wrestling manager and now a straight up card-carrying compu-geek, JC plans to shove his wealth of knowledge and or skewed opinion down your throats to his hearts content, and this site will let him. Bitter and Angry at his failure in the entertainment industry he intends to avenge that pain by unleashing a mountain of rage and discontent not seen since Godzilla was forced to watch his own American remake, and we all know what a pile that was. So, all suck movies beware. JC is here and he takes no prisoners. Where great film will be rewarded and praise provided, all others will be crushed and their images discarded.

Biff Mercer
biff@moviesforguys.com

Our dashing Biff is a model by day and a habitual movie attendee. Anytime he can get a chance to sit his rump down on a theater seat he speeds like a demon in a thong to the next showing. He knows a quality piece of flesh, good acting and special effects when he sees it and is content to sprint out of that closet of his for almost any flick. If you want the 411 on the latest movie then Biff is your man. His valued opinion will have you sitting on edge of your nicely broken in computer chair, just dying for his next review. He will help you understand that any bad movie could be made better if you had only stood in line for a Sprite and box of Peanut M&M's. (Biff is somewhat of a flamer, he gets assigned to the chick flicks - Ed)

Alex DeLarge
alex@moviesforguys.com

Alex, much like the waste material that used to be fuel for a nuclear power plant, is a horrid, disgusting shadow of what he once was. What started out as a fairly normal kid has turned into a toxic byproduct of our modern warped society. He has been warped by public (government) schools, by his dysfunctional family, by the hypocrisy of our modern body politic, by the women who have used & abused him, and by the twisted workplace of our high-tech world. The end result is a true movie whore who will watch just about anything. He tends to prefer action, comedy, sci-fi and the like, but he will occasionally get a hankering for a good political movie (remember "Wag the Dog"?) or even the occasional tear-jerker (also known as a "chick flick").

Hank Reed
hank@moviesforguys.com

Hank is truly a one-of-a-kind. When not out playing Frisbee golf or hunting for lawnmower parts he can be found plunked right in front of the stereo. On occasion he finds the time to view concert videos and other music-oriented material. On even rarer occasions you can get him to watch a movie but it usually requires a bribe or he has to be tricked in to it. Hank's been to a theater twice. Someone pulled the fire alarm about halfway through the second one and that about wraps it up for the theater for Hank. He claims that sour-patch kids are the best but are now on the endangered list so he can't eat them any more. We're not sure how to help Hank. If you have any ideas please let us know.

Steve Payne
steve@moviesforguys.com

Quite an amiable fellow, Steve is always quick with a witty remark and even quicker with one after the fact. Despite being an avid weightlifter and super-jock, he has been known to cry at football games and book signings. Very sensitive to the needs of others, he thoroughly enjoys listening to other’s opinions of movies, and if he disagrees berates them for how stupid they are. But that’s only in person, and in public. Favorite movie genres with favorite movies lean toward: action dramas (Heat); sci-fi/fantasy (Empire Strikes Back); and comedy (Airplane). His idea of a romantic movie is Braveheart. Chick flicks are reserved exclusively for impressing attractive women, a feat made more difficult because of often severe allergic reactions to such movies. Vomited during preview for Autumn in New York.

Rob X
rob@moviesforguys.com

Raised primarily on action flicks and westerns, Rob later acquired a taste for Mobster movies and Sci-Fi as well. He's a sucker for any fast-paced crime/action flick with lots of clever and witty lines liberally doused with swearing, and has even been known to enjoy the occasional drama. He's willing to give pretty much anything a screening if the mood is right, on the off chance that he'll at least get some quotable lines out of the deal. Rob firmly believes that not only is there a good movie quote for every situation, but as movie-watching guys it is our duty to share them with the less enlightened at every opportunity. He is a tech-geek, a game designer, musician, and creator and practitioner of Chicken-style Kung Fu. Also, he likes to get to the theater a little early, and that doesn't mean he has issues okay?
