About The Team

The Movie Burner Entertainment Organisation (M.B.E.) Official Website (www.movieburnerentertainment.org) hosts the reviews. The Movie Burners Podcast hit the airwaves on SoundCloud and are now weekly shows (Box Office Chat, MBE Heroes, Movie Burner News, The Blog Rundown and The Force Friday Show) that you can find on iTunes & YouTube.

Philip Henry - I had a head full of stories. So for about 25 years I’ve been writing them down as novels, short stories, screenplays and songs. I started writing movie reviews on my Facebook page just to let my movie-loving freinds know what I thought of certain films. I enjoyed doing it and more and more people started reading them.
John Gray - The first movie I fell in love with was Jurassic Park, when I was ten. I read a magazine about the movie and learned what a director did, etc.. Ever since then I’ve loved movies and have been fascinated by the movie-making process.
Gerry Brown & Elizabeth Brown (The Moviie Couple) - I was raised by my aunt in a dysfunctional family. She always took me to movies as escapism. She is still with me and the thing we like to do most is go to movies together!
Steven Wilkins - In my youth I was always intrigued by visual storytelling and of course, lots of action. Seeing the impossible become relatively possible is an amazing experience.
Anna Maria McAlinney - I have loved movies for as long as I can remember. I remember my first cinema trip to see The Lion King and I imagine that my love for the Big Screen started there. In recent years I have had an Odeon Limitless membership and been involved with a number of local production companies so my interest became a hobby and my hobby has become a borderline obsession!

Gianni Damaia - I love movies because they’re magic. You can look at them and instinctually connect or relate to something within it that you never knew about yourself before. They combine every art form imaginable to best tell a story.
Chauncey Telese - I love being taken to new worlds whether they be a galaxy far far away or the lives of people I normally don’t get to interact with. I love to get to know characters and vicariously have experiences I otherwise wouldn’t get to have.
