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: Feb 17- Feb 23, 2012

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

Featured:

 Men in Black III (2012)- 5/10

In the third installment of Men in Black, Agent J (Will Smith) travels back to 1969 to stop Boris the Animal from killing a younger Agent K (Josh Brolin). Agent K originally took Boris' arm and arrested him in 1969. I wasn't a big fan of MIB II, and this one wasn't much better. I just didn't like the villain- Boris the Animal. But I did like the concept of going back in time. It was impressive how Josh Brolin pulled off a younger Tommy Lee Jones so well.





The Rest: 

The Birds (1963)- 7/10- I would have liked to known the reason 'the birds' went so crazy, but it was still a solid Hitchcock thriller. I won't look at birds the same again. 

Chariots of the Gods (1970)- 7/10- It is pretty dated being over 40 years old, but an interesting documentary about the possibility of alien visitations to Earth in the past.
