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!

Trailer of the Week: Oldboy (2013)


I have the 2003 South Korean version by Park Chan-wook sitting in my Netflix queue, but I have not got around to watching it. I have heard it is one awesome flick. The American remake by Spike Lee looks like it could be pretty awesome too. So much so, that I am going to hold out on watching the 2003 version even longer. Apparently there is a great twist at the end and I don't want to know anything going in. 

Josh Brolin looks like he is going to be great in this role- as a man kidnapped and held in solitary confinement for 20 years. Judging by the hammer scene in the trailer, we are in for some ruthless, revenge killings. Oldboy is set to release in October.
