Biography:

Patrick grew up in a small town in Wyoming, where movies were a constant refuge and source of comfort. Drawn to them as a form of creative awakening, he turned that early obsession into a prolific career. Patrick is the creator of See It or Skip It Reviews, a film review platform he launched over a decade ago as a personal YouTube channel and website. That evolved into See It or Skip It, a flagship broadcast segment and 30-minute streaming show he hosts on ABC4 in Salt Lake City, UT. Blending sharp insight with deep passion, Patrick shares his love for film across screens big and small.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% EDIT “"28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" expands on the themes of what it means to be human with feverish chaos, incredible performances by Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, and what is sure to be one of the best music sequences of the year. ” – ABC4 Utah Jan 17, 2026 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 35% EDIT “This is one of those inoffensive holiday films that keep you in a warm, cozy blanket with a hot cocoa, watching with your family.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “It’s rare to see a film this raw and this tender at the same time. "Hamnet" is both grief and grace.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “You wouldn’t think a story about Ping Pong could be as intense as "Marty Supreme" is, but because the story takes itself so seriously, you completely buy into it. ” – ABC4 Utah Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Fackham Hall (2025) 74% EDIT “A satirical take on all things proper and British with a joke-a-second pace of laughs that, while not always landing, is more than enough to warrant a visit to the theaters.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% EDIT “Once the fan service peels off, you’re left with a bare-bones story with weak scares and an ending as abrupt as it is jarring.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 6, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “"Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" continues to deliver entertaining and expertly crafted mysteries with director Rian Johnson veering more serious in this 3rd chapter.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “"Zootopia 2" does build the characters we love, but the story, more than anything, feels the same. And for a 10-year wait, it should be anything but.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% EDIT “Bringing a lighthearted yet earnest look at love and relationships, I found "Eternity" to go by in a breeze, with beautiful set design, unique concepts, and brilliant performances from all three leads.” – ABC4 Utah Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% EDIT “A beautiful exploration of family, love, and art as a way to show someone you’re true heart when everything else fails.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% EDIT “A solemn look at the hardships of early Americana, a commentary on our planet’s resources, and a mournful character study brilliantly acted by Joel Edgerton.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “This is a warm blanket of a film, and exactly what Brendan Fraser does best as an actor. ” – ABC4 Utah Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% EDIT “It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but I had a good time clicking my heels in the theater. It doesn’t have the same punch as the first film, but the ending is powerful enough to make even the Tin Man’s heart skip a beat.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 19, 2025 Full Review Regretting You (2025) 29% EDIT “"Regretting You" has all the makings of a Hallmark/Lifetime Classic movie, but is elevated by its lead performances.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “A personal look at the music legend’s grapple with mental health, past trauma, and artistic integrity.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Shelby Oaks (2023) 55% EDIT “While the plot can give way to a few too many conveniences, "Shelby Oaks" brings new life into the "found footage" sub-genre of horror that has been largely forgotten in the past few years.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost (2025) 93% EDIT “A personal introspective look at an entertainment couple struggling to find greatness and personal meaning in their life, while seeing individual identities.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 16, 2025 Full Review The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (2025) 42% EDIT “This is an easily forgettable film. Silly dialogue and moments that make you cringe with secondhand embarrassment as opposed to actual fear.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “Malek gives an impressive performance, as well as a surprisingly effective performance by Russell Crowe. This will likely be a dad film you can take him to and have a conversation after.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 15, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “Heartfelt, relatable, and full of humor and adventure, "In Your Dreams" reminds us that families evolve as they grow, and that’s not such a bad thing.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 15, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% EDIT “Director Ruben Fleischer continues with the "Robin Hood" motif, but this is an otherwise forgettable watch.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 15, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “While having impressive stunt work and some fun moments with familiar faces from his previous projects, "The Running Man" stalls in the third act.” – ABC4 Utah Nov 15, 2025 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% EDIT “Only Guillermo del Toro could take "Frankenstein" and make it feel this tender, this terrifying, this human. A gothic family drama stitched together with heart and horror.” – ABC4 Utah Oct 18, 2025 Full Review The Perfect Neighbor (2025) 99% EDIT “"The Perfect Neighbor" is a tremendous documentary, but not one I wish to ever revisit.” – ABC4 Utah Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% EDIT “"Good Fortune" is Keanu's movie, hands down. A funny and unique story, mixed with some heart.” – ABC4 Utah Oct 17, 2025 Full Review
