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!

Casting Doctor Strange



Doctor Strange should be a big part of Marvel's Phase III. I have even read that Marvel wants to make Doctor Strange the next 'Iron Man' of the series. If that is the case, it is very important to cast the right person to play the neurosurgeon turned Sorcerer Supreme.

According to Latino Review, Marvel may be eying Joseph Gordon-Levitt to man the cape. This would be an interesting choice; he is certainly a hot commodity these days and has done rather well. But could he take this character to the level Downey, Jr. took Iron Man? It is possible I suppose. What I find most interesting is that (SPOILER AHEAD) Gordon-Levitt could be in line to play another caped superhero for DC Comics. Of course I am talking about Batman.

If you had the choice, would you take on a new character for a thriving franchise or would you choose to be the next man to put on the bat suit? Tough call. That being said, I do not think Gordon-Levitt will be the last name we hear when it comes to casting Doctor Strange.
