ABOUT TIM
Tim Brayton got into film criticism by accident: a year after graduating from the film program at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, he still hadn't done anything remotely associated with his degree, and decided to start up a blog, just for the fun of it. Film criticism wasn't even the focus, for the first couple of months.
Five years, and over a thousand reviews later, it's obviously become more than "just for the fun of it". But at heart, Brayton is still just a simple film blogger, who enjoys the purity and casualness that comes from writing on his terms, and nobody else's. At least, this is what he tells people when they ask why he still hasn't made any money doing it.
