In order to continue to provide a variety of voices here at Truth On Cinema, we are welcoming a new writer to join our family: Steven Jones. Instead of me writing an introduction for him, here’s what he had to say about himself and his love for movies:
Steven Jones is a student at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and intends to major in Communication Studies in order to enter the field of broadcasting. He currently runs a radio program at SU Radio and isn’t afraid to self-promote by telling you to check out the Facebook group “The Semi-Infinite Playlist”.Steven enjoys a wide variety of movies ranging from comedy to action to sci-fi with brief and occasional stops everywhere else. He loves movies as entertainment and is staunchly opposed to Christopher Kelly’s idea that all movies must be ground breaking art. His favorite films include:
Comedy: Get Over It! Simply because there is musical Shakespeare involved. This movie could practically be described as the predecessor to High School Musical, done with more humor (although regrettably by MTV) and featuring just about everything a kid my age can relate to. This includes an over-hyped conception of romance.
Sci-Fi: Because of his addiction to Joss Whedon’s Firefly and love of both Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion, Serenity takes the cake. I don’t recommend it too much if you aren’t familiar with the show, however.
Historical Musical: 1776. I created this category specifically so I could mention 1776, which I find immensely entertaining and surprisingly reference-able.
Also, A Knight’s Tale, Iron Man, the Resident Evil franchise, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies (only I and II), Treasure Planet, National Treasure, most Pixar films, and just about anything else I watch.
I love the perspective Steven has on movies and life itself and can’t wait to read his DVD Reviews. With him being a college student, I don’t know yet how involved, in the beginning at least, he will be on the site, but you can be sure his DVD Reviews will be coming soon.
If you have any questions, comments, compliments, or movie recommendations for Steven, you can email him at stevenajon@gmail.com.

Steven, welcome!!
Ok, now on to my critiques… Get Over It? Ok, it was alright – I watched it in a 4-star hotel in Guatemala with Spanish subtitles at like 1am. But that one guy’s accent?!? Ugh. Back to acting class, buddy. Funny, though, he has/had a band and they have a track on the A Walk to Remember soundtrack (yes, I own it, it’s got a lot of Switchfoot, deal with it) and his music makes his acting look Oscar-worthy.
Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts.

The accent was sort of just one more reason to hate the guy. There are lines in the dialogue that address the issue that his accent is ridiculous. I thought it was a nice touch..

I kind of assumed his accent was supposed to be bad…

maybe. I just never liked the guy. Hated him in the aforementioned Walk to Remember. I guess that when it comes to playing a tool, he’s the guy for the job.
Otherwise, I like re-inventions of Shakespeare… 10 Things I Hate About You?? Anybody?

10 Thing I Hate About You is one of my favorite teen comedies of all time! I love the late Heath Ledger as the bad boy and an early Joseph Gordon Levitt as the sweet “Cameron” was awesome.
Great flick!
