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 26- June 1, 2013

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

Featured: 

Life of Pi (2012)- 8/10

The story of a young man that survives a ship wreck and is stranded alone on a life boat with a Bengal tiger. I wasn't overly excited about this movie when I first saw the trailer, but this was a fantastic story; and the special effects were spectacular. Having finally seen both, I would say Pi deserved the Best Picture nod over Argo.  







The Rest:

Neverland (2011)- 5/10- A made-for-TV prequel to one of my favorite stories of all-time, Peter Pan. Far better than most Syfy originals.

House at the End of the Street (2012)- 3/10- The twist caught me by surprise, but not necessarily in a good way. Jennifer Lawrence is too talented for a movie like this.


Movies watched this week: 3
Movies watched in 2013: 84
