Jon would say that as a writer, he is a self-proclaimed film snob and a pop culture junkie. Always gives his honest, critical, and maybe a little bit snarky opinion on everything. He's very detail oriented and loves anything involving creativity and innovation. You're better off asking him who his favorite director is rather than his favorite film. So beware and get ready to be entertained. You can contact him at jon@theyoungfolks.com or follow him on twitter @DystopianHero. (Also, he doesn't always refer to himself in the third person, but sometimes he just has to).

Jon’s Movie Review: ‘Sabotage’ Is Its Own Worst Enemy

A good action film is not an easy thing to create. It’s 2 parts Brawn, 1 part Violence, 1 part Brains and a pinch of car chases, explosions, love story, or mystery just to spice it up. Whether it’s a…

Jon’s Movie Review: There Are Few Good Words To Say About ‘Bad Words’

We use words every day to communicate, but sometimes things get so out of hand, outrageous, or just plain weird that we are at a loss for words. That’s where “bad words” come into play. These colorful words, usually 4-5…

Jon’s Movie Review: ‘Nymphomaniac: Volume 1’ Will Have You Hook, Line, and Sinker

Sex, in some form or another, has always been a spectator’s sport. That includes online pornography, reading a Playboy (just for the articles of course), or even painting nude models together for the sake of art. Despite rising hemlines and…
