ABOUT THE REVIEW
THE CRITIC
Film, I feel, adds another level. It transports you into another time and location. It even allows you to become someone else or experience something. Two hours later, you’re back to reality. Afterwards, you’ve likely learned something or brought something out of experience.
I’ve had been told since early on, that I have some good insights into film. Films like Top Gun and Iron Eagle got me into aviation, the Princess Bride into fencing and Best of the Best and The Big Brawl got me into the martial arts. Needless to say, film has been very influential in my life. I later was able to take a cinema course in college and writing about film just became something else I did.
I hope you enjoy my reviews and hopefully I’ve managed to turn you onto some movies that you’d otherwise have missed!
Please spread the word and come back often!
Additionally:
I am on instagram @CHENCENTER – and I’ve set up my feed so that there’s a new review posted every 3rd picture. I post there first… so if you want to see it as soon as it comes up, follow me there!

ABOUT OUR RATING SYSTEM
Movies on The Joyce Review are reviewed fairly, taking in ALL aspects of film-making. Obviously, “personal tastes” play into the equation however, it is my firm position that each movie must be viewed and judged based on its merits… that is to say… what the film brings to the audience. The reviews in The Joyce Review are also judged within the Category or Genre for which the film is placed. For example, the movie DUMB AND DUMBER is not judged among ALL movies, but rather, given a rating based on its position within the realm of COMEDY. And although there are some people that say this movie is only a 6 or 7… it, in my opinion, ranks a 9 amongst comedies…and therefore, will be a 9-CLAW movie.
CAN YOU QUOTE ME?
Yes. If you are a writer/journalist/student and would like to quote on of my reviews… you may. Please, however, quote me correctly and inform me of what you will be writing and where the quote/mention will appear. Also, I do ask, list the address of our site: http://www.joycereview.info
