Aaron Peck
You know you’re destined to write about film when you think Roger Ebert is the coolest person alive. Aaron started writing real movie reviews in college for Utah State’s newspaper, The Utah Statesman. After graduating in English, with a Technical Writing emphasis, Aaron decided that he still wanted to write about movies for a living. He got a job doing the movie reviews for Logan, Utah’s newspaper, The Herald Journal.
Print isn’t the only place you can find Aaron’s work published. He’s written extensively for Blogciritcs.org, and still writes regularly for HighDefDigest.com (Blu-ray reviews), and Film.com (film commentary).
Now Aaron can be found crouched over his laptop furiously updating The Reel Place in order to make it the most interesting, thought-provoking film commentary site on the net. Yes, we’ve got a long way to go, but you’ve got to start somewhere right?

"The surprisingly profound story of a villain who wasn't always obsessed with grotesque thorns and terrible dragons." -Aaron
"While 'Maleficent' could have been a strong re-imaging of Disney's classic 'Sleeping Beauty,' it simply buckles beneath the weight of a horrible & nonsensical screenplay, bad performances and amateur filmmaking." -Luke

"With a charming cast of likeable characters and non-stop laughs for all - no matter the gender - 'Neighbors' is a hilarious comedy that anyone can enjoy. That is, anyone who doesn't mind constant vulgarity." -Luke
"A bawdy prank war, which may have a deeper meaning, but who cares? It's funny." -Aaron

"A heartfelt movie, with a great hero, and an unflinching willingness to go dark and bleak when necessary." -Aaron
"If you can toss out all of the preconceived misjudgements of "too many characters/villains" and "trying too hard to compete with Disney's Marvel movies," there's an amazing Spider-Man to be found at the heart of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'" -Luke
