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 28- August 3, 2013

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

Featured:

Wild Target (2009)- 7/10

A veteran hitman (Bill Nighy) fails to kill his latest target, a lovely female thief (Emily Blunt), causing to go on the run together. As one would expect, he falls for her charms. This was a nice little find on Netflix instant. Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt are a great team, and Ron from the Harry Potter series was quite funny as well. 






The Rest:

Evil Dead (2013)- 7/10- There was a bit more terror and gore than the Bruce Campbell version, but there were quite a few nods to the original.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)- 5/10- I did not like Jim Carrey much at all in this one, but Steve Carell brought a few laughs. A decent magic flick. 

Planet Hulk (2010)- 4/10- Although I like the story lines, the Marvel animation movies just don't do it for me. 


Movies watched this week: 4
Movies watched in 2013: 112
