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.

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: ‘Heaven is for Real’ is less than divine

What happens after we die is such a huge debate question, that you should never bring it up unless you know the other person agrees with your beliefs. Wars have been fought, friendships destroyed, and relationships collapsed under this topic.…

Jon’s Movie Review: Your Eyes Will Be Fixed On ‘Oculus’

With my vast knowledge (that I’ve gained from watching countless horror films) I have gathered that demons/ghosts like to possess houses, people, and in some odd cases, recorded footage. The reasons aren’t always clear to us, but all we’re really…

Jon’s Movie Review: ‘Draft Day’ Fumbles, But At Least The Players Tried

I need to preface this by saying I am not a sports fan. I have no sworn allegiance to one team or the other. The only sports event I enjoy watching is the Puppy Bowl, and that pretty much requires…

Geek Peek: What’s in Store for Captain America and (Agents of) SHIELD?

Like a true fan, the first free couple of hours you had were more than likely spent in a movie theater, dedicated to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you haven’t seen it yet, then I’m very, very sorry and…
