Personal life


Berardinelli was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey and spent his early childhood in Morristown, New Jersey.[2] At 9, he relocated to the township of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where he attended Cherry Hill High School East.[2][3] Later he moved to Piscataway.[4]


He attended the University of Pennsylvania from 1985 to 1990, obtaining both a Bachelor of Science and Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.[2] After graduating he worked for Bellcore Company, now Telcordia Technologies, and spent the next 15 years working "in a variety of fields, including fiber optics, video testing, and software systems."[2]


Berardinelli has categorized himself as an agnostic and a libertarian.[3] He resides in Mount Laurel, New Jersey with his wife, Sheryl, whom he met through his website.[3][5][6][7] They have a son, Michael, born on May 12, 2010.[8]



Career


Starting in 1993, Berardinelli started publishing reviews in Usenet by reviewing Scent of a Woman.[9][10] Berardinelli also writes the blog ReelThoughts at Reelviews.net. Roger Ebert referred to Berardinelli as "the best of the Web-based critics",[11] and wrote a foreword for Berardinelli's book, Reelviews.[12] Berardinelli is a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic.[13][14]


In September 2013, Berardinelli announced that he had been working on a trilogy of fantasy novels entitled The Last Whisper of the Gods.[15] The first book was published in November 2015, the second was released in January 2016, and the third in March 2016.[16]
