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!

Weekly Recap: March 17- March 23, 2013

A recap of the movies I watched for the first time this past week.

Featured:

Moonraker (1979)- 6/10

James Bond (Roger Moore) goes to space to stop madman Hugo Drax from destroy and repopulate Earth. This is by far the silliest of the Bond movies I have seen- especially when Jaws, back for another adventure, is on screen. That said, it was still a pretty good time. Moore was back and pretty good again. I was expecting Bond to spend a little more time in space though- given the movie poster.





The Rest:

Skyfall (2012)- 7/10- You can see my full review in the previous post. It was good, but did not meet expectations.

Scooby Doo in where's my mummy? (2005)- 5/10- Another decent Scooby Doo flick. This one has a 'surprise' villain at the end.

Hop (2011)- 4/10- Just in time for Easter. I waited an entire year because I missed it last Easter. Normally I enjoy kiddie movies, but this one never pulled me in.



Movies watched this week: 4
Movies watched in 2013: 43
