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: June 9- June 15, 2013

I will be out of town this weekend, so here is an early edition of the movies I watched for the first time this week.

Featured:

Dark Skies (2013)- 6/10

A series of disturbing events has the Barret family fearing that something from out of this world is after them. I am a big fan of alien flicks when done right- most alien movies wind up just being cheesy. But Dark Skies did a pretty good job. It wasn't perfect at times, but there was enough eeriness to keep me on edge. We don't have to see the actual aliens to know that they are there.







The Rest:

The Resident (2011)- 3/10- I was intrigued for about 15 minutes, then the movie went crashing down. It is predictable and straight up boring.

Dark Tide (2012)- 3/10- The best acting in the movie came from the sharks. Not even Halle Berry in a bikini could make this movie interesting.


Movies watched this week: 3
Movies watched in 2013: 90
