A Welcome to Rhapsidiom's New In-house Movie Reviewer

Rhapsidiom.com gives a warm welcome to its newest member, Jason Pyles, our very own in-house movie reviewer. Jason's movie reviews will consist of current releases as well as reviews of older films—"retro reviews" as he likes to call them—revisiting films from the past.

Thirty-something Jason hails from West Virginia. He was baptized at the age of 19 after walking into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on his own accord, merely, as he puts it, "looking for God." One year later he was out-and-about as a fully active member, serving in the Arizona Tucson Mission. In 2004, he married his dream girl, Natalie, in the Salt Lake temple. Jason currently resides in Utah. (He moved there to promote his music.) He is a singer/ songwriter with two solo CDs. Jason also plays piano in the Dave Eaton band—listen for his plunking on Brief Relief, a particular favorite of mine. (Dave taught Jason the Gospel in WV.)

Jason's passion is movies. He is a student of film—pursuing a career in journalism, with an emphasis in film criticism. (Jason's hero is Roger Ebert.) He currently writes movie reviews for The College Times, at Utah Valley State College, and we're excited to add his reviews to our website.

So welcome to Jason!
