At The Movie Buff, our critics try to be fair but aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. Our reviewers have one thing in common—they are all movie lovers with a passion for discovering not only blockbusters, but those hidden gems which you might have forgot existed. Patronizing movie theatres, video stores, Netflix, Redbox, and even watching edited TV movies, our team will look anywhere to bring readers reviews.
Below are some of our reviewing philosophies and styles each critic brings to the table:

Jacob Dunstan is a long time screen arts enthusiast. His appreciation for cinema, and the knowledge he has accrued in the field, has resulted in him being fortunate enough to write on the topic. He also possesses a passion for acting, poetic turns of phrase, and choice word selection.
