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: July 14- July 20, 2013

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

Featured:

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)- 5/10

John McClane takes his show to Russia to help his son that he believes to be in trouble. Overall it is a decent action movie but feels nothing like a Die Hard movie. It is chalked full of bad jokes and way too much slow-motion. Two John McClanes do not make for a better movie.






The Rest:

She-Devil (1989)- 3/10- One would think a movie with Roseanne Barr playing a housewife seeking revenge on her cheating husband would be funny; but it is not...at all. 


Movies watched this week: 2
Movies watched in 2013: 104
