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 30- July 6, 2013

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

Featured:

Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)- 4/10

What a disappointment. The story was decent enough, the effects were nice, but the acting was hard to watch- mainly James Franco and Mila Kunis. I usually like both of them, but these roles were way too big for them. Even Michelle Williams was surprisingly bland. I'm not looking forward to the planned sequel. 






The Rest:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince (2009)- 7/10- I thought for a while it was going to be my favorite of the series, but it fizzled near the end. A solid edition nonetheless. 

Wallace & Gromit in 'A Matter of Loaf or Death' (2008)- 7/10- Thirty minutes of claymation fun for all ages. 

The Big Bounce (2004)- 5/10- I caught it on TV and I'm pretty sure 30 minutes of the movie was missing, but Owen Wilson provided some funny moments. 

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2012)- 3/10- It did provide a bit more of the back story from the first one, but just wasn't scary...at all. 


Movies watched this week: 5
Movies watched in 2013: 100
