Tony Farinella

The Bachelor Critic

About Me

I have been under consideration for what I consider to be a dream job. Being involved in film. That is what this Myspace is all about. To get my film reviews out there.
All I know is that I am proud to say that I simply do the best that I am able. I can say, without a doubt in my mind, that I have always treated everyone with the most understanding and respect that I possibly can, which is what you deserve. And I'd hope that you would do the same for me. If not, that is OK too, as I will always do my best to understand.
If you want someone to listen to, as always I would be happy to do that as well. As a heads up, if you ever do want to contact me, in addition to my movie email I am also using an old address of [email protected]
All My Best Forever, Tony Farinella
Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined. -Johnny Carson
What others in the film industry and all over the world are saying about Tony Farinella:
"I have worked with and been interviewed by Tony Farinella on several occasions and have been highly impressed by not only his wisdom, but also his technical knowledge of the art of filmmaking. Whenever I get an opportunity to discuss film with Tony, I am comfortable knowing that he is knowledgeable and has a passion for all aspects of film."
- Director of The Substance of Things Hoped For, Greg Morgan (Filmpunk.com)
"Tony possesses a rare combination of talent, passion and humility."
-Pro Wrestling Manager John Rodeo (JohnRodeo.com)
"When I meet someone, I always do my homework and research them to see what they are about. What I found out about Tony really impressed me, from his reviews on 10 different review sites. Not only that, but he is a very sociable individual."
Russ Emanuel- Producer/Director of Girl with Gun
"I have the utmost faith in Tony's abilities as a person, as a friend, and as a professional. His passion for movies and entertainment are unparalleled amongst anyone I have ever met."

Bigtime (Indy Pro Wrestler)
"I've had the opportunity to get to know Tony via MYSAPCE and it has been a great experience. When I sought out critics to review my indie film Tony was right there willing to watch it and review. I highly respect his critique and comments. He has an eye for film and an exceptional, eloquent way of putting his reviews together. He speaks from the heart and lets his soul shine through on every review and interview. For a young man, he has his finger on the pulse of a crazy society and has just the right amount of style charm and wit which will make him a top critic one day soon."
Marc Wasserman, Filmmaker
