Joe Barlow is a freelance writer who turned to film criticism after realizing his gross incompetence in everything else. A screenwriter and filmmaker, Joe won a small degree of national attention when his first cinematic offering — a spoof of The Wizard of Oz and The Blair Witch Project entitled The Wicked Witch Project — was featured on television and in newspapers from coast to coast.
He is the author of 100 Nights in the Dark: A Collection of Contemporary Film Reviews and Essays (ISBN: 0-595-16391-2).
When he's not laughing his way through Joel Schumacher movies, Joe enjoys reading, playing guitar, and worrying about all kinds of evil things he can't change, such as death, taxes, and the frightening success of Pauly Shore.
