Bio: Joe is a recent grad of Boston University, and works in medical information technology. He’s been working in movie theatres part time for the past 6 years, always keeping up to date on the latest releases. In his spare time, he’s been writing about movies and other random stuff on his blog (Intermission at Work), and hopes to add an insider’s perspective to the Rejects. He’s willing to give almost any movie at least one try and refuses to go to the bathroom during movies unless he’s already seen it. His other interests include Boston sports, especially baseball and hockey. He also loves watching cartoons, listening to music, and playing video games.
