Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Aaron is a movie fanatic and loves writing and talking about such things, a lot. Born and raised in Orange County, California, he earned a degree or two at UC Santa Barbara. Aaron describes himself as a film reviewer, writer, podcaster, gamer, comic reader, disc golfer, and a lefty. He fell in love with movies at a young age and has continued viewing, studying, and analyzing all aspects of the medium ever since. His mind is full of film knowledge and random trivia, but he is always open to learning more, whether it's through box office stats, reviewing Blu-rays from The Criterion Collection or simply hearing first hand from filmmakers and others about various productions and behind-the-scenes tidbits.

Tow (2025) 100% 3/5 EDIT “Tow may feel a bit too standard as the sort of human story that it is trying to tell, but one still can’t help but see the triumph that comes from Byrne giving her all.” – We Live Entertainment Feb 7, 2026 Full Review A Life Illuminated (2025) EDIT “Given the really cool looks at life underwater that are rarely seen, let alone the experience of learning about the fascinating life of Dr. Widder, A Life Illuminated is the sort of documentary one hopes for.” – We Live Entertainment Feb 7, 2026 Full Review Steal Away (2025) 92% EDIT “Steal Away brings together a wide variety of elements that left me continually unsure where it would go next... this is a bold effort with compelling visuals and strong performances from its young stars.” – We Live Entertainment Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Mockbuster (2025) EDIT “At a time when the home releases of major tentpole films rarely have the large assortment of extras to detail the filmmaking process, it’s quite a treat to watch an exploration of what it means to have a director work on a "6-day special" for The Asylum. ” – We Live Entertainment Feb 6, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% EDIT “Not breaking a ton of new ground, but functioning well as a more low-key and introspective version of a standard "Statham beat ‘em up movie," fans of the action star do not need to hide from Shelter.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% EDIT “The results are quite fun, as the dark comedy permeates, with a gleeful Raimi sitting back and letting both lead actors get their hands dirty.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% EDIT “The concept at play is realized well enough... and those willing to check it out in 3D will get what they paid for. However, stripping away the bells and whistles leaves little to have mercy for.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 49% EDIT “Whether or not one wants to thematically sync the state of the world with the state of things in reality, Greenland 2: Migration gets down to brass tax and delivers what’s essential for a film like this.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 13, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% EDIT “Audiences get white-knuckle thrills as well as enough meat on the bone for them and a rage-infected zombie to chew on.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% EDIT “Primate works on these…primal levels. It’s well-constructed suspense rooted in the notion of a family member turning bad for unfortunate yet understandable reasons.” – We Live Entertainment Jan 6, 2026 Full Review Reflection in a Dead Diamond (2025) 84% 8/10 EDIT “It’s a wild ride for anyone looking for something far out and dazzling.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Belén (2025) 95% 7/10 EDIT “What the film may lack in subtlety, it gains in reiterating important topics, especially when considering the routes other countries have taken to alter their history.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) 81% 7/10 EDIT “It’s not unambitious, as Jarmusch is too great a filmmaker not to use minimalism to his advantage, but the fascination here lies in how quietly human each of these three stories is. ” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 8/10 EDIT “It’s impressive work. Add to that a variety of memorable sequences and imagery, and it appears the choices made by Park are once again in line with how he succeeds at his best.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 7/10 EDIT “Yes, this is a story full of pain, with a deliberate pace that really emphasizes specific challenges, but I can still approve of the initiative on display nonetheless.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 6/10 EDIT “Even if the film never really escapes the feeling of thinking the documentary would be better time spent, I can’t say the sweetness of Song Sung Blue didn’t ultimately win me over.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 26, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “Anaconda ultimately wins me over because of how many laughs it lands, and how much the film feels like more than just Sony execs throwing darts at a board and seeing what sticks. ” – We Live Entertainment Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% 6/10 EDIT “There’s an oddball innocence that hasn’t been lost with this wacky animated creation, which brings me joy.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% 8/10 EDIT “Fascinating and devastating in equal measures, not a great neighbor, but an excellent documentary.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Zodiac Killer Project (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “As a sort of meta-commentary complete with additional tangents and a sense of humor, this is the sort of strange experiment that worked out quite well.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Anniversary (2025) 66% 5/10 EDIT “This is essentially an exploitation film more than anything.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 7/10 EDIT “Even if it were just a lark, the enjoyable performances and jazzy score by Rob Mazurek do plenty to satisfy the audience.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% 7/10 EDIT “As it stands, this is undoubtedly a well-assembled feature with solid work coming from the young/non-professional performers. And being left-handed myself, I hope this girl goes on to great things.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 7/10 EDIT “Showing that not every effort needs to take it all the way to the moon and back, Is This Thing On? is slight but affecting.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “With enough professionalism on display to slightly elevate this type of film from others, it’s perhaps not the strongest in its class, but she gets the job done.” – We Live Entertainment Dec 16, 2025 Full Review
