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 21- July 27, 2013

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

Featured:

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)- 6/10

After escaping a witches grasp in a ginger-bread house, Hansel and Gretel decide to track down witches and kill them all. Despite mostly bad reviews, I had a fun time with Hansel and Gretel. The witches weren't the best to look at (perhaps the point) but the action was intense and it was quite funny at times. 






The Rest:

Lincoln (2012)- 7/10- Daniel Day-Lewis was quite impressive portraying Lincoln in his final days as he worked to abolish slavery. 

Sharknado (2013)- 2/10- A movie that gained a lot of attention a few weeks back for being so bad it's good. I felt the same way for about 10 minutes, then realized it was just bad. 

Lost Voyage (2001)- 2/10- Just a bad movie about a recovered ship that went missing in the Bermuda Triangle years earlier.


Movies watched this week: 4
Movies watched in 2013: 108
