Yes. I know what you're saying, "ANOTHER movie review column/blog/site? Just what the world does NOT need!" And I would say you're right. I'm no film critic or have any training in writing or journalism. What I do have is a love of going to the movies. I love the whole experience. No matter how bad a movie is, I've never walked out of a theater. I have opinions on what I like and don't like just like everyone else and just like every other film critic and review columnist.
But one of the reasons I have wanted to start this blog for so long is that I've gotten tired of reading other peoples opinions on a movie that I haven't seen yet. Sometimes they will tell you the special twist or fact that the director did not want revealed until seeing it, just because they didn't like it or just to be the first to point it out. These are not what I call reviews! Do you?
So here's what I plan to do. I will see these movies like I love to anyway. Then I will post here in three parts.
1) The first part will be as subjective a description of the movie as I can without ruining anything for the reader. I will do my best on this part. If I fall head over heels in love with a movie or completely despise every frame, I am gonna describe it the same. I will give you who's in it, who directed it and some history on it if it has one. It won't be flashy, but it will give you the basic gist of what it's about for you to decide if it's something you may want to check out.
2) Here's the plot twist on this blog. In the second part, I will tell you who would like this movie. Is it for kids or teens? Is it geared toward guys or women? Is it for people who like to think and be mentally challenged or just want to escape reality? This is the section I will try and give you examples of what it's like as well. "Hey, if you liked movie A then you will like THIS movie."
3) I'll finish of with the obvious. I'll give you my opinion of the movie. But it's only what I think of it, not what I think YOU will feel about it as well. I won't promise not to reveal any secrets in this section, which is why I will leave it to last. But I will tell you before I do with the SPOILERS tag. It's your choice to proceed, but I warn you, I have been known to have harsh thoughts one way or another. Enter at your own risk.
So there it is. Let's have some fun and go out to the movies. Can you smell the popcorn? Mmmmmm.
I can.
See you in the center seat.
