THIS CRITIC IS NOT FOR SALE. Film and arts critic Jen Johans does not receive direct monetary compensation for any reviews, nor does she write on behalf of any commercial publication, corporation, or enterprise aside from her own, independent site/organization Film Intuition, unless it's for a specific freelance assignment. While she does indeed receive screeners and/or DVDs, Blu-rays etc. for a majority of the pieces she writes, the acceptance of such items is standard practice for the field. Additionally, they are for review purposes only and have no impact on whether they receive favorable or negative reviews which is clearly evidenced throughout the site. In turn, she never accepts any version of the item reviewed that is beyond the one described and non-watermarked screeners not kept by the reviewer have been donated to nonprofit organizations and/or those in need. Moreover, she is not an employee of any studio, PR firm, nor does she work for anyone other than her own website, unless it's a specifically listed freelance piece. She does not accept gifts for mentions on the website nor engages in product placement, bogus claims, etc. as revenue received from the website is earned via visitors shopping at clearly listed advertisers (who in turn don't pay her for ad placement). Likewise, Jen Johans has always kept track of the source and amount of any/all revenue for federal and state tax purposes generated by the site.

With frequent updates, Film Intuition not only highlights major home releases but also strives to offer information on the brightest independent and foreign works available via a growing database that's compiled more than 2,500 theatrical, Blu-ray, DVD and miscellaneous arts reviews. Hoping to serve as a bridge between those who make movies and those who view them by sharing cinematic opportunities, knowledge, and unparallelled passion for the art-form with the world, Film Intuition (which began as a single blog), evolved into an LLC once Jen Johans began hosting screenings and events in the local community. In addition to our loyal readership that visits the site regularly, Film Intuition offers an increasingly popular free e-mail subscription service and is also syndicated through feeds. Longing to include movie lovers around the world in a conversation about film (including those who take advantage of the site's ability to translate its written content into more than three dozen languages), site updates are also posted on Twitter, Facebook, IMDb, Instagram, Letterboxd, and Pinterest. And in doing so, the international press has taken note with several quotations and references to Film Intuition appearing on university, studio, theater, and news sites since its 2006 debut. Thank you for your interest in the site and please feel free to look around, submit a screener, offer feedback, and check back often for new updates. |
An avid film buff as well as a three-time national award-winning writer, the only time Jen Johans ever got into trouble in school was for talking about movies during quiet time. Yet although she'd discovered her passion for the arts early, it wasn't until a research paper written about sixth grade crush Robert Downey Jr.'s onscreen alter ego Charlie Chaplin garnered Johans her first writing award that she realized that maybe it was better to talk about movies on the page after all. Learning as much as she could about film as well as the craft of screenwriting both on her own as well as in college where she designed her own curriculum, Johans received a BA in Film Studies and was dubbed a walking movie encyclopedia. Dedicated to sharing her love of film with others, Johans went from working on local festivals to curating and hosting a film discussion series before she launched the first version of her site Film Intuition in her final semester back in 2006. Originally devoted solely to the work of female filmmakers (hence its name), although she branched out as readership grew to cover everything from classic to modern mainstream fare, after twelve years and 2,400 pieces, Johans remains just as committed as ever to reviewing films made by women. Likewise eager to showcase foreign, arthouse, and indie titles often overlooked on other sites, when she isn't writing about or watching movies, chances are she can be found talking about them on Twitter (@FilmIntuition) where there's no such thing as quiet time. |
