April Movies =)

April looks to be a decent month for movies. A couple big titles coming out within several genres. Cannot wait to discuss these movies with you!

The Company You Keep
>Looks like it could be one of the great ones this year! A lot of big names on that screen, and some of them are even pretty good actors. I'm not confident this one will make it to town though.
Jurassic Park: 3D
>I remember seeing Jurassic Park at the drive-in theater with my dad when I was a kid. I think it has a lot of potential as a 3D movie. Can't wait to see!
The Brass Teapot
>I am pretty sure this one will be overlooked by our lovely cinema owner, but I think it has potential for good comedy and it looks like even a little action. Worth a watch anyway.
Oblivion
>Most sci-fi movies will make it on my lists. I'm not really nerdy (although I have been to comic-con) but I enjoy the heck out of good sci-fi. I think Tom Cruise is a terrible actor, but I like most of his movies. And I love Morgan Freeman.
42
>I'm planning on having a few tears leak out during this one. Jackie Robinson was undeniably a great inspiration to many people back then and continues to be a good role model for people today.
To the Wonder
>Probably one of the weirdest movie trailers I have watched recently. But, it worked. I want to see it without doing much research on it.
Pain and Gain
>Who doesn't love Mark Wahlberg? Sure, he's not a great actor. But, I think he has improved. And look at him.. yum. It helps that I enjoy movies inspired by true events. Could be decent.
The Big Wedding
>My comedy for the month. As a general rule, I don't watch a lot of comedies. Especially when they have Katherine Heigl (ugh). Luckily, I enjoy De Niro in comedy and I think he can make up for Heigl.
At Any Price
>Looks intense? I'm not sure on this one. It could be amazing.. or a complete dud.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
>I think this looks amazing. Maybe a bit controversial.. but that's what makes it great. Looking forward to it.

Hi there!

Hello all!

This is my first attempt at writing a blog, so it might not be great at first. However, I do  think I can get it to be great with some practice. Keep in mind while you are reading this that I am not a English major. In fact, I hated English classes in school. I like to write because I am setting my thoughts free. So, this blog will be filled with personal opinions. If I offend you, stop reading it. I'm not writing this to cater to you. So, I will apologize for our differing opinions, and if that's not good enough for you then I suggest not reading it. I may, at times, be immature. For example, sometimes I will go see a movie just because I find one of the main actors attractive. That won't influence my opinion of their acting or of the movie itself though. Plenty of good looking actors out there that are terrible at their job.

I will try to do a couple reviews every month, and I will post a list of all the movies I hope to review for the coming month. I do come from a small town with only a six screen theater so I probably won't have very good access to a lot of the movies I wish to review until they come out on DVD. As soon as I can, I will watch them and post my thoughts on the movie.

Also, it should be noted that I don't do horror films very well. I am going to try to be open minded and strong and go see some of the big ones that come out. We will see how that goes.

Alright, I'm going to put up a list of the April movies I want to see and maybe do a review of a movie I saw recently.

Thanks for reading!
