What this is about?

I have found that I do not consistently agree with the opinions of movie critics or the popular opinions of groups of people such as the results provided on rotten tomatoes or other such sites. It is hard for me to determine if I will enjoy any given movie without actually watching it. I have decided to create this blog to give my honest opinions of the movies that I watch in hopes that it can be used as a tool for readers to gauge whether or not a movie is for them.

I am going to divide the movies into three categories:

1.       The movies that are worth the money to see the theaters

2.       The movies that are worth putting on your Netflix list but not worth seeing in theaters

3.       The moves that are not worth seeing

If you do not have Netflix, I encourage that you get this service if you watch movies with any regularity outside of the movie theaters. I do not work for Netflix nor do I have any vested interest in the company. However, I feel that this product is well worth the cost. It has saved me a lot of money in not only movie rentals but it has also cut down on my trips to the movie theaters.  

Category #1: These are the movies that I feel are worth the $7-$10 per ticket to watch in theaters. I watch a broad range of movies (comedy, action, romantic, animated, etc.) and there are movies within each genre that are worth going to see in the theaters. This is typically based on the overall quality of the movie. However, it can also be something that you can only get from the movie going experience such as impressive action sequences on the big screen or the group laughter of a crowd in comedy movies.

Category #2: These are movies that are worth watching, but may leave you a little disappointed if you were to spend money on a movie ticket to watch the movie. The reasons for being added to this list are numerous. I will discuss any specific reasons for putting a movie on your Netflix list when I provide my thoughts of the movie in upcoming posts.

Category #3: These are movies I felt were a waste of my time to watch. I usually try and do my best to avoid watching any of these movies. However, there are often times that I am mislead by a preview or critic opinion and find myself suffering through a movie. I will provide you with my views so that you can avoid the same mistake.

I have decided that I am not going to express my opinions about movies that I have watched in the past or movies that I may rewatch in the future. Instead, I will provide my views on the new movies that I watch in theaters, Netflix, or otherwise. I will also give you the reasons that I will find myself watching these movies whether it is an intriguing storyline, action packed trailer, positive review, or simply what my friends have picked to watch.

As I get started on this journey, please let me know if you know any interesting titles that you feel that I should check out.
