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: May 12- May 18, 2013

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

Featured:

Bachelorette (2012)- 7/10

The night before the wedding, three bridesmaids do their best to save the wedding dress they destroyed. Although not as popular as Bridesmaids, this one is on the same level comedy wise. Kirsten Dunst was fantastic as the 'bitchy' bridesmaid, and Isla Fisher was quite funny.The rest of the cast was great as well, with James Marsden, Adam Scott and Lizzy Caplan.






The Rest: 


Fast Five (2011)- 6/10- I have never been a huge fan of the series, but this is one of the better 'Fast' movies.

Kill List (2011)- 6/10- Moves at a slow pace, but the ending will catch you by surprise...and leave you asking "What just happened?"

Scooby-Doo! Abacadabra-Doo (2010)- 5/10- Another Scooby-Doo and gang adventure; this time with a Griffin.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)- 4/10- Not Disney's finest moment. The animation is good but the movie never really connects.


Movies watched this week: 5
Movies watched in 2013: 78
