FIRST!

Ok everybody, I've finally decided to start posting my film reviews to the web. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and just plain old never got around to it. I'm not going to start with a schedule or anything like that, but it is my goal to post a review every Sunday. It's going to be a mix of new movies and old ones as well, whatever I happen to be watching. If I manage to keep this going for long enough, I may start going to the cinema every weekend to watch a new movie to review, but we'll see what happens. For now, I'd just like to clear up one thing I use for evaluating movies, and that's my categorization.

I think moving pictures either fall into the movie, film, or cinema category depending on what drives the emotion of the picture. Movies use the plot to drive the emotion, film uses the characters and specific dialogue and acting to drive the emotion, and cinema uses the setting and cinematography to drive the emotion of the movie. I'll use the words interchangably for instance "This movie is a film" or "In this film..." so don't worry about my word choice unless I mention it specifically. Just saying. Anyway, I hope I get plenty of readers!

On a side note, I'd like to link to my account on IMDb. Here you can browse the ratings I've given movies and tv shows over the past few years. I'll be posting snippets of my reviews on their site, so do enjoy!
