Confessions of a Movie Blogger


Dear readers
I have a confession.  When it comes to general reviewing movies I’m not the best source.   
I’m very two sided.  Take Jigsaw for example.  I knew it was going to be bad.  I went anyways.  I got my oversized soda and sat in my favorite seat.  I like to sit towards the front where the screen hovers over me.  If I can sit behind a handicap row to put up my feet I will (assuming no one is using that row of course) otherwise I prefer the same row on the edge.  What’s running through my mind is not how bad this movie was going to be but how excited I am to be at a matinee.  
Sure I can tell you how great of Moonlight turned out to be.  I did come out saying it would win best picture.  There are movies that people love that I could not stand.  Can someone please explain to me why Beauty & The Beast remake is good? Same with La La Land.  I will never like these movies.  However there are bad movies that I really liked.  I thought American Assassin was an awesome movie and laughed my butt off watching Going in Style.  
I do see a lot of movies.  There are movies I will never miss, like the 007 films.  I will see Star Wars because I like an event film.  I will continue to see films like Jigsaw because I enjoy going to the movies, all the more with people.
Does any of that stop me from putting my opinion out there? No.  Will it? Never.  I can tell you why I liked or disliked a movie.  Once I get to know you I take pride in being able to customize film recommendations.  
I’ll see you at the movies!
Will
