Years of sitting home in the early 1990s, watching Mystery Science Theatre 3000 primed him for a film-obsessed future as a former newspaper columnist for the Hillsboro Reporter (2001-2002) and creator of his own editing company in early 2000.
Joe is the author of two books, the now out-of-print Laws for Living: An Assortment of Facts, Tips, Truths, and Observations from Everyday Life (2002) and his current book, Project Bible Truth: A Minister Turns Atheist and Tells All (2008). On October 24, 2008, Joe created HMR to provide an articulate and creative platform for movie reviews for big and low-budget films.
An avid movie buff for nearly all of his life and an internet movie reviewer since the early 2000s, Joe is like a cross between Roger Ebert, Michael Medved, and the late Pauline Kael; that is, Joe appreciates and excels at literary excellence while angrily leaning politically to the right, and with an insatiable gift for being inappropriately descriptive.
Joe reviews a hundred or so movies per year, including DVD releases and independent films. Joe centers not just on constructive elements like film criticism, but on skepticism as it relates to works of the big screen.
Analytical or angry, sarcastic or skeptical, the featured attractions of the big guy's writing style waxes and wanes in morphing uniqueness, resulting in an uncanny clarity.
