About the Author: Scott Telek has been reviewing movies for Cinema de Merde for ten years now, reviewing over 1,200 movies according to two main principles: 1) It’s not whether the movie is “good,†it’s whether it’s fun to watch, and 2) no matter how “cheesy†a movie may be, we’ll still seriously consider its ideas. He’s gained a fiercely loyal following of readers for his funny, insightful reviews that skip celebrity gossip in favor of discussing movies—high or low—as a work of art, with special attention to the social issues the film touches on. Scott brings an intelligent, literary—and hilarious—perspective to everything from art films to B-movies, treating them all democratically. This writing is one-third movie review, one-third social commentary and one-third comedy… and as fun to read as watching the movies themselves.
