The only thing I love more than watching movies, is talking about movies. Since I was young, I loved the escapism that movies provide, and the ability to be transported somewhere else for those precious few hours and see something new and unique. It often wouldn't matter what the movies were. Good or bad, comedy or horror, I would watch them in their entirety and be thoroughly hooked. It probably helped that I grew up a stones throw from the oldest continually running theater in the united states. It also probably helped that they only charged three dollars for a double feature (two movies, back to back) every single night. Going to movies was just the thing to do for me and my friends.
In college I took a handful of film related classes including scriptwriting, studio production, video field production, cinema arts, and directing. I was eager to see the "man behind the curtain" that made all of this magic possible, and my admiration of the art of film only grew.
This blog will capture my thoughts and feelings toward any movies I watch, as well as the occasional group breakdown my friends and I do after sitting through the 4+ hours of a double feature.
I am a movie lover as well and am very interested in reading your blog. Personally, my favorite movie is Back to the Future but also love every genre out there. There is a lot of movies that have hooked me in. What are some of your favorite movies? Would you rather watch a movie in the theater or at home?
ReplyDeleteI would consider myself a movie buff as well and am interested to hear what you have to say. My favorite movie would probably be Good Will Hunting because I'm a huge fan of Robin Williams. I lately have gotten into tv series as well, such as Big Little Lies and The Handmaid's Tale. I find it extremely interesting to see the cross over between movies and television shows starting to blend into one category of story telling. I also highly recommend Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind documentary on HBO right now. It further tells of the transition he had through Television and the movie industry, while also giving insight into his life.
