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 24- March 30, 2013

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

Featured:

 The Hole (2009)- 4/10

Two brothers and their next door neighbor open a hole in the basement that produces their biggest fears. I did not watch it in 3D, but you could tell this movie was created for it. It was odd to see a 'family' horror movie that was rated PG-13. Its like it could not decide what it wanted to do. At times it felt much like a family movie but then quickly turned to horror. I think I would have preferred it just to be a straight family flick. 





The Rest:

Case 39 (2009)- 3/10- I just didn't find it to be scary, or entertaining for that matter. Not a good genre for Renee Zellweger.


Movies watched this week: 2
Movies watched in 2013: 45
