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 28- May 4, 2013

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

Featured:

Trouble with the Curve (2012)- 5/10

An aging scout (Clint Eastwood) is joined by his estranged daughter (Amy Adams) on one last scouting trip. I am a huge baseball fan and really wanted to like this movie, but it never connected. For one thing, the so-called 5 tool athlete he was sent to scout did not look like the next big stud. He looked more like the next offensive lineman for the Cowboys.





The Rest:   

Licence to Kill (1989)- 6/10- Timothy Dalton's second and last go as James Bond is one of the weaker Bond movies, but still a good time.

The Shrine (2010)- 5/10- There was a point that I thought this was just another stupid horror flick, but the ending is quite good.

Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico (2003)- 5/10- Another decent installment in the Scooby-Doo series- this time they are after the Chupacabra. 

Georgia Rule (2007)- 3/10- Lohan's character was just plain dull. This was just a bad and pointless movie.


Movies watched this week: 5
Movies watched in 2013: 67
