About Bring On The Reviews
Hi, I'm Dwight Cox, or "DC."
I founded Bring On The Reviews and I’ve written the vast majority of the reviews on this site.
I’ve been writing movie reviews since February 2014, when I started Bring On The Reviews as a Blogspot blog. My first post was about The Goonies, the very first movie I remember watching and still my all-time favorite. That June, my older brother bought the bringonthereviews.com domain, and the site has lived here ever since. More than a decade and over 100 reviews later, I’m still at it.
☆ Why movies
To me, a movie is a chance to escape into the world someone has created. I truly love the movie theater, and I go at least four times a week on average. I also watch plenty at home on streaming and other platforms. Honestly, I could spend an entire day watching movies, at home or in a theater.
For several years I also hosted the Bring On The Reviews podcast. To fill 20 to 30 minutes each episode, I went through all of the week’s movie and TV news, so I’ve spent a long time following the industry, not just the movies themselves.
☆ How my reviews work
Every review gets a star rating from 1 to 5. Here’s what the stars mean:
5: A total blast
A movie I love. Very little wrong with it.
3: Worth a watch
Real entertainment value, but something needs fixing to make it better.
1: Walk-out worthy
It made me want to walk out of the theater or turn it off. No redeeming parts.
- The Good and The Bad. Two short, spoiler-free takes on what worked and what didn’t.
- Who Is This For. Who will enjoy it most, and whether to see it in theaters or wait for streaming.
- The Hypothetical Corner. With every movie I review, I think about how it could have been better. This section started years ago after I walked out of a movie thinking one change would have made it ten times better. Now every review gets one.
- No spoilers up top. You can read my verdict without having anything ruined.
I review new movies, usually within the first two weeks of release, with a new review every week.
☆ Where I'm coming from
I enjoy almost every genre, with a soft spot for action and comedy. Horror is the one genre I’m least drawn to, but I still watch it. That’s how much I love movies. Just keep it in mind when you read one of my horror reviews.
Disclosure: I own shares in a movie theater chain. It doesn’t influence my reviews, but you should know.
☆ Watch the reviews
My newest reviews also come as short animated videos on the Bring On The Reviews YouTube channel, hosted by Data, our orange-cat mascot, named after Data from The Goonies.
