He is the reviewer the movie-goers deserve, but not the one they need right now… Kidding, kidding :) I’m an ordinary guy who happens to love everything Film and TV. I hope that my reviews bring an average person’s perspective to all the incredible entertainment that is available out there and maybe even help you in picking what to watch. When I’m not writing reviews, I’m usually on the Volleyball court, at the gym or playing guitar.

Kate is a girl with many interests, believes in having a good time while she does what she loves. As a writer and editor, she has developed her writing skills and got to learn even more languages than she already knew. Focused towards the music, innovation and art, she also writes short stories, lyrics and poetry and she creates logos and banners. As a history and geography lover, she is a absolute addict from traveling and meeting new people and cultures. That quite helps her for her PR and online marketing expert career. Hopeless fan of European cinematography and winter snow nights. Kate is probably online now, wishing to be owner on some of the new tech gadgets :)
