I have kept a journal online before, mostly to whine about the events of my life and talk about the drama of life and boring shit like that blah blah blah.... That is NOT what this blog will be about. Ever.
I love movies, and I think that they are an extremely important part of our culture. (Not to say that literature is not.) I have realized that I talk about certain movies all the time, and I will usually find myself raving about a great movie or complaining about a flop endlessly. I see this as a way to get my thoughts out more permanently.
Soooo....I will make it a case to review any and all movies that I happen to see, new and old alike. I shall touch on the topics of some of my favorite movies and most hated that I've had to sit through. Now, I'm kind of doing this on the spot, but I have an idea of how I'd like these reviews to go as far as format goes. I'll begin with a short summary of the plot, hopefully not giving too much away (if I do, I apologize) and then break it up into different aspects of the film like story, acting, effects, editing (sometimes), photography, music and etc...I'll touch on all of these at some point, possibly combining some as I review. Finally, I'll tie everything up in an overall statement like, "This movie was horrible, I want my $11.00 back," or, "This movie was wonderful, go see it twice!"
I'm on the fence of using a star rating system, but I do want some kind of marker tagged on each movie. I think a letter grade will work. So I'll think of this as school, and I'll be reviewing my film students on their work :P
Anyways, I shall ramble on no longer. The next post will begin a series covering the Star Wars films. This is one of my favorite series of films, but I have some serious problems with how things are tied together, so I feel it's important to get the one thing I'll ramble about the most out of the way first.
