After I returned from Sundance in 2003, I decided to document my film thoughts and then submitted my ponderings to Harry Knowles’ Aint It Cool News. I have included links to these reviews as well as my most recent reviews. All films are rated on a 4 star scale. Stop back from time to time to read my reviews to be certain that you won't waste precious hours of your life that you will never get back! Feel free to share your comments. Enjoy!!

About Me
- Jay Berg
- I graduated with honors as a a biology major at The University of Maryland Baltimore County. While there, I was the Features Editor of our college newspaper, The Retriever, where I honed my writing skills by contributing feature articles during my final 3 years. When my dreams of being a rock star quickly faded (I was a lead singer in several local bands), I decided to get a real job and work for a living (UGH!). After getting the "Sundance" bug, which I attended in 1999, and from 2002-2007 (where I averaged viewing over 20 films over a 5 day stretch each of those years), I became a film festival freak. Since 1999, I have attended the Telluride Film Festival (2000), every Maryland Film Festival (1999-present), and every AFI Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival beginning in 2003. I have also appeared as a non-speaking extra in the films "Major League II" and "Avalon", as well as TV productions of "Homicide" (3 episodes-including the emmy winning episode starring Robin Williams). In 2009, I had a speaking role in Sundance Documentary Award winning dir Steve Yeager's ("Divine Trash") film, "Crystal Fog".
