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!

From Daredevil to Superman to Batman


Ben Affleck may just tackle every superhero. First he was Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil- terrible movie in my opinion. Then he played the man that played Superman in Hollywoodland. And now he will be the new Batman.

I read a few weeks ago that WB wanted an 'older' Batman to star along Henry Cavill in their new Batman-Superman movie, and Ben fits that bill. I actually like the choice. He has a few years on the new Superman, but isn't too old to put on the mask and kick some tail. Aside for a few terrible performances (see Gigli) he has been pretty solid- especially the last few years.

The untitled Batman-Superman movie is shaping up quite well. Hopefully it is successful and we will finally get the Justice League movie that has been talked about for years now.
