Arnie cannot remember a time in his life when he didn’t love movies. Growing up, he watched every movie he could, and when not watching movies he read novelizations of films, collecting movie soundtracks, and as a college student wrote many college papers analyzing horror film motifs, using Fangoria as a source worthy of his senior thesis. He now turns his lifetime study of film to being a reviewer as host and creator of Now Playing.
