Kurt Loder

Kurt Loder is the film critic for Reason Online. He was born in Miami, where he remained for about a minute; was then relocated by his parents to Lima, Peru, for a few minutes more (his dad worked for an airline); then spent the next 17 years or so growing up on the Jersey shore.

After two years frittered away in deciding that institutional higher education was not something he wished to pursue, he joined the U.S. Army for three years, defending his homeland in the beer halls of Bavaria, mainly from hostile drunkards. He also learned everything there really is to know about journalism in an Army training school in about two months.
