Bio: Neil Miller is the Founder and Executive Editor of Film School Rejects. Born in the slums of Cleveland, Ohio in 1983, he has long been a casual wanderer through the world of film appreciation. He has also long been very unfunny. He has combined those two traits to form the unflinching leadership of FSR, a film website that takes film very, very seriously. Or something like that. He also loves Micheal Bay movies, is a pansy when it comes to Horror flicks and has dated several B-list reality TV stars.

After seeing Twilight: New Moon last night at a press screening, I was unsure about many things. But of the things that I was sure about, one was that Robert Pattinson was not a good actor. Maybe I was wrong. Or… maybe not.
