About Man, I Love Films

Kaiderman: Co-founderKai Parker is obviously a big deal. This is proven by the fact that his name is at the top of this page. Kai is best known for his awesome list-making skills, his unhealthy love of the film Road House and his favorite topic: KAI! He is one of the site’s main contributors and the host of the MILFcast.

Kai’s Top 5: Fight Club, The Matrix, Star Wars, Dawn of the Dead and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Dylan: Co-founderDylan Fields lets Kai think he’s a big deal by having his name at the top of this page, but we all know who really runs the show. He is one of the site’s main contributors, and is known as the man behind Blog Cabins (now defunct in favor of Man, I Love Films), the founder of the Large Association of Movie Blogs, and the main host of the LAMBcast.

Dylan’s Top 5: Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fletch and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Brian: Lead ContributorBrian Roan went to school for journalism because none of the colleges he got in to had a dedicated film program. Still, he studied film both academically and personally, hoping to one day break into the world of cinema. Finally in late 2010, unable to stand not writing about film professionally, he created his own film site. Now, any time not spent playing Arkham Horror is spent trying to commit his various opinions and theories on film to paper. Or… the internet version of paper. Brian writes news and new release reviews for Man, I Love Films.

Brian’s Top 5: The Thin Red Line, 13 Tzameti, The Page Turner, Time of the Wolf and Children of Men.

Brian is also the creator/executive editor of DearFilm.net.
Jason: ContributorJason Soto, much like the honey badger, doesn’t give a shit. He’ll take on any bad movie you throw at him. Jason is also the resident horror guy and will gladly shave your back for a nickel. He is the man behind the man behind Horror Thursday here at Man, I Love Films.

Jason’s Top 5: Pulp Fiction, Basket Case, Rear Window, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Snakes on a Plane.

Jason’s blog, Invasion of the B Movies, can be found here.
Sebastian: ContributorNothing phases Sebastian Gutierrez. This college student moved across the country to attend Bard, then spent his freshman year doing everything under the sun, from learning French to writing and acting in plays to obsessing over JoGo and Muse, and oh yeah, he runs his own blog, too. Sebastian hosts the Cinematic Captions game for Man, I Love Films.

Sebastian’s Top 5: The Godfather, 28 Days Later…, Se7en, WALL-E , and The Dark Knight.

Sebastian’s blog, Films From the Supermassive Black hole, can be found here.
Simon: ContributorSimon Columb has written a blog for a few years in the hope that he can actually reflect on the countless films he has – and will – watch. He was one-half of the now defunct Simon and Jo Film Show and aims to understand the history of cinema by watching films from any genre, from any country and from any time-period. Unfortunately, that is a helluva alot of films. So it is an uphill struggle… but he persists. He is also a teacher of Art & Design in London, England. Mr. Columb writes about classic reviews in his column, Classic Columb.

Simon’s Top 5: Jurassic Park, Goodfellas, The Godfather, Annie Hall, and Signs.

Simon’s blog, Screen Insight, can be found here.
Nick: ContributorNick Jobe only took on this job because he needed some extra cash. While he’s not busy writing novels, teaching, filming things (appropriate and otherwise), and generally saving the world and/or curing cancer, he’s watching movies and reviewing them and stuff. So yeah, that should be about it… wait, what? This gig is unpaid? Please hold… Nick handles New-to-DVD reviews for Man, I Love Films.

Nick’s Top 5: Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Shaun of the Dead, Spaceballs, The Princess Bride and Inside Man.

Nick’s blog is Random Ramblings of a Demented Doorknob, and it can be found here.
Wayne: ContributorIn the blogosphere, Wayne Howard is better known by the handle Reel Whore because he’s cinema’s bitch and proud of it. No matter how badly he may gripe about the latest lame rom-com, kiddie crap, or over-sequeled actioner, it doesn’t take much persuading for him to watch it. Wayne isn’t much of a fan of Top 5 lists, you barely break a sweat with five; it’s gotta be seven, man! Tack on Die Hard and Old School to the list below. Wayne will be contributing Vault Reviews to Man, I Love Films.

Wayne’s Top 5: Ghostbusters, The Big Lebowski, Robocop, The Fifth Element and The Good The Bad and the Ugly.

Wayne’s blog, Reel Whore, can be found here.
Heather: ContributorHeather Baxendale is better known in the blogsphere as certifiably insane, this title deemed by one of the two narcissists that run this damn website. She’s been the matriarch of Movie Mobsters for several years, but decided to finally get in the kitchen and start working for some men instead. She is Kai’s less than focused co-host on the MILFcast. Straight jackets were created for this drool-cup wearing, list-writing freak of the movie world. Heather will be contributing lists and other funsies to Man, I Love Films, along with continuing her co-hosting duties with Kai mutha truckin’ Parker.

Heather’s Top 5: Lord of the Rings, Terminator 2, Star Wars, Se7en, and Aliens.

Heather can also be found at: Movie Mobsters.
Joanna: ContributorJoanna Chlebus has a Masters Degree in Cinema Studies, which is a fancy way of saying she is broke and watches a lot of movies. When she’s not staring at screens she’s reading books and anxiously awaiting the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle, which she has yet to successfully complete. When it rains she is often compelled to belt out “Singin’ in the Rain” while twirling her umbrella. She’s been obsessed with Meet Me in St. Louis since she was a child, and once told her bus driver to “Just call me Rose” (it didn’t stick.) Joanna will be joining Michael as an Editorialist here at Man, I Love Films.

Joanna’s Top 5: Singin’ in the Rain, The Philadelphia Story, Sherlock, Jr., Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Princess Bride.

Joanna is also known as Reel Feminist, and some of her musings on gender and media can be found here.
Justin: ContributorJustin Gott is a man with a plan. Unfortunately, that plan is written in a language he doesn’t understand… so he continues to seek out knowledge in as many ways possible to figure it all out. He talks as fast as Nick Naylor, drives like Dominic Toretto, and kicks ass like Frank Martin. And only two of those are made up. Oh, and he is the number one fan of the one and only Tom Cruise. Don’t hate. Appreciate. Justin will be adding his takes to movie news from around the web.

Justin’s Top 5: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Adaptation., Cocktail, Ratatouille, and Training Day.
Mike: ContributorMike Mendez lives close to Hollywood, but not in LA. He has worked in television production, but only produced short student films. He spends more time reading about film than watching them and enjoys his television over the Internet. Mike will be joining Joanna as an editorialist here at Man, I Love Films. His editorials are strictly his own opinions, not reflecting the views of anyone else but secretly craves feedback. Mike is a Cancer.

Mike’s Top 5: Goodfellas, Young Frankenstein, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight and Rushmore.
Lauren: ContributorLauren Humphries-Brooks has a long name and a bunch of degrees in Cinema Studies, Creative Writing and English Literature, all of which have adequately prepared her for a life of extreme laziness. Lauren spends her off-hours obsessing over old movies, new movies, long books and Englishmen, not always in that order. She thinks Alfred Hitchcock is the greatest filmmaker in the history of the universe and will arm wrestle anyone who says otherwise. She wanted to be the paleontologist leader of a motorcycle gang, but supposes that film blogger will have to do. She, too, will be delivering fresh editorials every week, along with Joanna and Mike.

Lauren’s Top 5: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Lady Vanishes, Ghostbusters, A Night at the Opera and The Fearless Vampire Killers.

Lauren’s additional movie and non-movie musings can be found here.
Tom: ContributorG’day. Tom Clift hails from a place where the water goes down the toilet the other way and most quality films don’t come out until at least six months after you ungrateful Americans get to see them. He currently writes reviews and other stuff for a bunch of places and, when he has the time, a personal blog of his own. One day he hopes to get paid for this sort of thing. We’ll see how that works out. Tom delivers his creative game Double Feature Friday to Man, I Love Films – I’ll bet you can’t guess what day it falls on.

Tom’s Top 5: Network, United 93, Memento, Terminator 2, and Kill Bill.

Tom’s personal blog, Movie Reviews by Tom Clift, can be found here.
Thaddeus: ContributorThaddeus Zwolfe loves being a lawyer, and he loves being a photographer, but he never stops writing. An idealistic, pan-ethnic New Yorker, he’s always quick with a smile, joke, or inane bit of trivia. Turn-ons include boots, music, socialized medicine… Thaddeus is the independent film delegate for Man, I Love Films, helping to promote and review truly independent filmmakers and their films from across the globe.

Thaddeus’ Top 5: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Pan’s Labyrinth, and The Big Sleep.

Thaddeus’ personal blog, Net-flixation, can be found here.
Steve: Musical DirectorSteve Bush is a musician and song writer who currently produces the music to the Man, I Love Films Podcast. In addition to producing jingles for the Petros and Money show on Fox Sports Radio and the music to the Yokal Sports Sports Report in Minneapolis, Steve performs in numerous bands across the southern California area (The Bill Shakespeares, Mike B and the Universe, formerly C24C).

Steve’s Top 5: The Usual Suspects, JAWS, Saving Private Ryan, Die Hard, and Predator.
Susannah: Design CzarSusannah is the loving wife of Dylan who puts up with his ridiculous love of The Karate Kid and Teen Wolf. She also lives up to her title by providing invaluable graphic design input to the Man, I Love Films team.

Susannah’s Top 5: Fight Club, Code 46, Finding Nemo, Across the Universe and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Shirley: “Editor-in-Chief”Shirley is the loving wife of Kai who puts up with his ridiculous love of comic books, movie posters, and little plastic men, aka action figures. She lives up to her title by proofreading Kai’s posts.

Shirley’s Top 5: Never Been Kissed, The Royal Tenenbaums, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Mermaids, and Parenthood.
