 KARL"THE FLICK FANATIC" SIDES:
 Like the name says, I am a movie fanatic. I love movies of all genres:                    Action,Comedy, Sci-fi, Horror and even a Chick-Flick (if it is made well). I see over  150 movies a year and if they would let me bring a pillow and microwave, I would live in the theater. I am a member of the St. Louis Film Critic's Association and have been reviewing films for various outlets for over 5 years. I am easy to spot I will be the guy with the movie projector on his head (I figure I'll bring my own in case the one at the theater breaks down). This website is going to give you the "Average Joe" movie review, not all of that artistic garbage, but basically is this movie worth my hard earned dollar! And if you disagree with something or want to add to a review or story shoot us an email at the address below. Enjoy the site and I look forward to seeing you at the movies!

Toni: As Tagalong Toni, it is my pleasure to follow Karl the Flick Fanatic around town. Hangin' with the "The Fanatic" is exhausting work. Just looking up from my 5'2" frame to the 7'8" Fanatical Karl (zany hat included), can cause serious injury to my neck, but I love it and have a good time doing it!!

One thing you will notice about the Tagalong is that I am not a movie expert. I just like what I like. I have even been known to fall asleep on The Fanatic's shoulder right in the movie theatre! Thus I have been asked to go over the DVD releases coming out each week. If you like watching a movie on your own schedule--so you can get a little cat nap in--this section is for you! I will let you know what's coming out each week and will review one DVD on a scale of 1-40 winks (just kidding). I'll let you know whether I think you should rent it, buy it or just get your well deserved rest and pass it by!!

Andy: It wasn't until the summer of 1997 that I became a Flick Fanatic, I was 8 years old. I saw what I believed to be the greatest film of all time. No, it wasn't L.A. Confidential, or Good Will Hunting, or even Titanic, it was something even greater.

Batman & Robin made me realize how amazing movies were and how they can take you away to a different world; a world where anything is possible, and bat-nipples are plentiful.

Since that day my taste in movies has matured a bit, but I must thank Mr. Schumacher for his work, even if it is, in retrospect, absolutely terrible, because if it weren't for Arnold Schwarzenegger telling me to kick some ice, I would have never seen the magic of movies and never became a Flick Fanatic.

Today I'm a student at Webster University, and I'm a Film Studies major. Alexis and I met in High School and have been arguing about movies ever since. We will be duking it out every week about movies we have seen lately for your enjoyment, I have a feeling this is going to lead to some nights on the couch for me.

ALEXIS: I have to start off by giving credit to my wonderful Aunt Beck. When I was four, we started having weekend sleepovers at her house. She would make home-made popcorn, buy candy and soda, and we would stay up all night watching all sorts of movies, which drove my mom crazy. I've grown up with a passion for movies, and after meeting Andy, I became a true Flick Fanatic. We met in Freshman year of High School, our first date was the movie The Incredibles. Andy didn't buy my ticket, and he ate all the popcorn I bought. Not the best first date, but luckily for him, things improved. I'm now a student at Webster University, and I take classes in Film Studies. Andy and I have started watching all sorts of different movies, and over the years, we have both acquired different tastes for films. We agree on a lot, but a couple movies have resulted in big fights and not speaking to each other (Revolutionary Road led to almost a week of fighting over which character was at fault). But even with these differences in taste, I couldn't be happier with Andy, however, if I have to watch The Big Lebowski one more time, I may start accepting applications for a new boyfriend.
