Ben Isbel

Ben Isbel

Ben is a carpenter in Melbourne. When pressed as to why he chooses to review films in his precious free time the answer is invariably 'Who are you and how did you get into my bedroom?!' He makes up for a embarrassing lack of formal qualifications with more informal ones such as: Completing Donkey Kong Country 3 100% and memorising the lyrics to Insane in the Membrane. He love affair with cinema began as a randy teenager watching late night sbs movies and his very secret dream is to get into movies the same way Harrison Ford did- by building some cabinets for George Lucas. Any other director of a multi billion dollar franchise will do though. Can be found re-watching episodes of Jim Henson's The StoryTeller.
