Jason Pyles, Host of the Considering the Sequels Podcast
Jason Pyles began writing film criticism in 2005. From 2006 to 2008, he wrote movie reviews for The College Times newspaper at Utah Valley State College in Orem, Utah, where he completed a book-length thesis titled "Achieving Genuine Movie Criticism: The Motive of an Artist." He also wrote movie reviews in 2007 for Flix Club, a video store in Utah that rented and sold edited movies. In 2008 Jason wrote movie reviews on political films for Scoop08.com. Jason and Andy Howell began the Considering the Cinema discussion blog in July 2008, and they're still reviewing unusual films there about every two weeks. Later in '08, Jason began writing mini- and full-length movie reviews for The Intelligencer and the Wheeling News-Register newspapers in his hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia, until 2010, when he returned to Salt Lake City, Utah, and began the Considering the Sequels podcast. For the past few years Jason has maintained his formal Considering the Cinema movie review blog, which for the moment, lies dormant. He says his film criticism heroes are Roger Ebert and Stanley Kauffmann, and his inspirational influences are Cody Clark; Dr. Rick Moody; Luke Hickman; and David Chen, Devindra Hardawar and Adam Quigley of the /Filmcast. And despite relentless abuse and persecution, he still says his all-time favorite film is M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" (2004).
