ABOUT DUSTIN
I am a writer for DVDTalk.com, where I review DVDs and most mainstream theatrical releases, and very rarely interview filmmakers (once, thus far). I am also an employee of Boxoffice.com, where I write some of the news updates and enter information into their database (previously, I was a freelance feature writer, and I had three reviews published before my schedule stopped me from continuing). Lastly, I run a blog called The Following Preview, but instead of updating it, I make bad jokes on Twitter and facebook. When I was in junior high and in community college, I was the Arts & Entertainment Editor of my respective school papers (The Invictus and The Current), and at the former, I was awarded a Washington Journalism Education Association Excellence in Journalism Award, although I'm pretty sure there was no actual voting involved, and I won because my teacher submitted me. Today, I get most of my news from FilmDrunk and CHUD. My proudest moment (thus far) has been doing what I could to help nail a petty internet plagiarist. I also like pasta.

FAVORITES
I hate picking favorite films. It always changes. Instead, here's 20 films I really liked that should form a baffling mental image of my taste in film: Chicago (2002), Chinatown (1974), Citizen Kane (1941), Coffy (1973), Evil Dead II (1987), G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009), Koyaanisqatsi (1982), The Last Boy Scout (1991), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), Missing (1982), Oldboy (2003), Orange County (2002), Play it Again, Sam (1972), Quai des Orfèvres (1947), Requiem For a Dream (2000), The Science of Sleep (2006), Storytelling (2001), Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Suspiria (1977), and UHF (1989). Please ignore the list on my Rotten Tomatoes Author page. It's from 2004 or so, and while I probably still like most or even all of the movies on it, it isn't at all in the order that I'd put it in if I did it today.
