Welcome to The Movie Tree

Hello and welcome to The Movie Tree. Like most people, I am a big fan of movies. I, however, take movie watching to the extreme. In 2012 I watched 242 'new' movies (Yes, I track how many I watch). When I say new movies, I mean new to me. This number does not include the movies I watched for a second, or however many, time. You might be wondering how I was able to watch 242 'new' movies in 365 days. Well, I tend to watch movies in segments. I'll watch a little during lunch, a little more while working out, then finish it up during my early morning shift of feeding our baby boy. It's probably not the way the director intended me to watch it, but it allows me to watch more movies! I also have a wife that enjoys watching movies as well.

I am also big on rating movies. Usually I rate movies on sites such as IMBD and Film Affinity, but I will share those here as well. I rate movies based on a 1-10 scale ( you can see my translation of the scale on the Rating Tree). I'm not big on writing lengthy reviews, but I will from time to time. You will also see Top 10 lists, weekly recaps of the movies I watched, and my reactions to upcoming films and movie news. Feel free to agree or disagree with any post- I welcome the discussion. Enjoy!

Sequels...The Sequel

It is not my intention to keep writing about sequels, but they are just so prevalent these days. Yesterday as I was looking at the upcoming movies for the remainder of the year, there were an awful lot of sequels on the list. In fact, I counted 28 sequels set to release through the end of 2013- starting with G.I. Joe: Retaliation releasing on March 29. That list doesn't even count the sequels that have already been released.

Again, it is not that I do not enjoy sequels. I am really looking forward to a number of them- Ironman 3, Star Trek Into Darkness. That was just a shocking number to me. It has gotten to the point to where we are going to get a sequel to every movie that makes money- even if the main characters are killed off in the first one.
