The Filthy Critic
Encyclopedia
The Filthy Critic is an online persona of Matt Weatherford, a film critic. Starting in 1998, Filthy's reviews have appeared on his web site on a regular basis. His writing style is notable in that it makes allusions to Filthy's fictional personal life, uses vulgar language, and often makes scathing remarks toward Hollywood. His ratings range from one to five "fingers."
Filthy's fictionalized private life frequently appears in the articles, including personal and often self-deprecating accounts of his life in the Colorado
town of Arvada
serving as a backdrop for his views toward a film.
As of February 2011, the Filthy Critic appears to have gone offline once again, no further reviews have appeared.
Weatherford has been praised by Stephen King
in his Entertainment Weekly
