Hey folks,
Welcome to my blog. I’ve been doing movie reviews in print, television and radio for years. But when you’re deciding what to see at the movies- or what you want to rent or download- having a review at your fingertips is awfully handy. Check out the reviews and feel free to make comments! (Please use netiquette)

I love films and movie-making: they tell stories that entertain us and challenge us. The best and worst of the human spirit and the human condition can be found through the art of movie-making. And yes even the worst films have their positives (just don’t count on me to sing the praises of one decent scene in an otherwise terrible production). So stay tuned for my reviews and other useful, timely, and important links! I’ll see you at the movies and on Twitter!

Best,
Chuck

A little more about me:

Though he had his first critical thoughts about film when he was 8 years old, Chuck Koplinski had to wait 20 years before putting his opinions in print. Having established himself with various independent newspapers in Central Illinois, Chuck joined the Illinois Times in Springfield, where he has been writing since 1998. Branching out into other media, he has been delivering weekly film reviews for the CBS affiliate WCIA-TV and FM radio station MIX 94.5 (WLRW-FM) since 2005. Additionally he has been writing for the News-Gazette in Champaign, IL, since 2007.
