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: April 21- April 27, 2013

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

Featured:

This is 40 (2012)- 7/10

Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) are both turning 40; they have family issues, communication issues, and two daughters that don't get a long. You can read my full review here. Apatow was at it again with this smart and 'real' comedy.






The Rest:

Deadfall (2012)- 5/10- Not a bad flick, but the characters are underdeveloped and it just never fully pulled me in.

Imagine That (2009)- 4/10- Family flicks aren't Eddie Murphy's forte, but I can see the appeal to young ones.

The Paperboy (2012)- 4/10- The actors did what they could with a pretty weak script; I'm not sure Kidman deserved a Golden Globe nom though.

The Spirit (2008)- 3/10- Despite the cool comic look of the film, this one is just bad all around.

Kaena: The Prophecy (2003)- 3/10- The animation looks like it is straight out of a video game, and the storyline isn't all that better.


Movies watched this week: 6
Movies watched in 2013: 62
