(not so) straight-talk about cinema
about me
JAY HIRO BROWN is a writer, film enthusiast and professional homosexual.
He is a horror nerd and connoiseur of so-bad-it’s-good cinema - the campier the better. But don’t be fooled: though his MO may be silly, he is very serious about film, and attacks his reviews with an academic mindset. His dream is to be a filmmaker and show everyone exactly how it should be done.
For reasons that escape him, he lives in London.
