About

Mae Abdulbaki is Washington, DC-based film critic and entertainment journalist. She is a pop culture junkie and an admitted movie geek (if you hadn't already noticed the site). She firmly believes that movies have the creative ability to bring to life new realities and transcend the screen. Being a film critic allows her to combine her two passions: movies and writing. 

Besides writing for this site, Mae is also a contributing writer for PunchDrunkCritics.com and appears on the site's weekly podcast. She is also a freelance writer for Examiner.com. Mae has also appeared on a Blog Talk Radio podcasts such as Cinema Royale, Yo Andrew News Talk Show, and Keeping it Reel with Film Gordon. 

Mae is also a full voting member of the Washington, DC Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA). 

Mae founded MovieswithMae.com in 2013 in order to convey her love of films to a larger audience. You'll find here reviews for the latest film releases, film festival coverage, movie news, new trailers, and top lists (most notably at the end of the year). Take a look around and subscribe if you like what you see!
