Movie Faceoff Mladen Rudman is a former journalist and technical editor. Del Stone Jr. is a former journalist and author. Together, they review the movies, current and past.

Together, they review their favorite movies, both current and past. They favor science fiction, but can sometimes be convinced to watch an action movie, children's animated show or, God forbid, a chick flick. They often disagree, which is part of the fun. Feel free to tell them how wrong they are.
