I'm a big movie fan and I've got opinions, so in addition to my fiction, I maintain a review blog, Doug's Reviews. The bulk of my reviews are film-related, but I also cover other areas of entertainment. If you want to know whether that new flick at the local cinema is worth the price of admission, head on over to Doug's Reviews and get the scoop! NOTE: Had a little snafu with Blogger recently, so my latest reviews are being hosted over at The Hodgepodge Podcast, but the archives are still at Doug's Reviews.
Recent Reviews (click on picture for the review):
In addition to movie reviews, I also produce a podcast with my buddy, Dirty A, called The Hodgepodge Podcast. Like my review blog, we mainly discuss movies, but we also talk about Music, TV, and other Pop Culture topics. From time to time, Dirty A and I will have guests drop by and chat with us - guests like author Matt King. You can also find us on You Tube and subscribe to us on iTunes. Below is a gallery of our most recent episodes. To check out the archive, click the link to the left. Check them out!
