I am a writer of film reviews, short stories and fiction. I am also willing to ghost write stories, articles, blogs, reviews and other such things. If you want a sample of my work, just go to the Razzie Forum at Razzies.com and look under username "moviecritic1994". You will find my reviews for such films as "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Fantastic Four" and other terrible films. Since I'm a Razzie voter, I often spend my time watching and reviewing total garbage films.
