Someone pressed the reset button, and it was me!

I have spent a lot of my time watching movies and writing, what I hoped, were insightful reviews of the films I watched. I seemed to have an opinion about everything in them, but kept falling into the generic format trap that I tried so desperately to stay away from. The one thing I wanted more than anything else was a discussion of the films I had watched, someone to bounce thoughts off of, what they liked, what they did not like, and all that good stuff

With this is mind you can understand why I felt so trapped in the conventional medium of review writing, I felt that it was a wasted effort to write reviews on movies I had watched because anyone can write a review, but only a few people can actually do a good job of it.
So it is with that notion that I decided that my review writing days were done, I had officially hung up my hat on review writing and decided to start doing what I loved, talking about movies, not writing generic synopsis of them.

This is where you find me now, with a new ideal in my life on what I want to write. No more generic reviews that are stamped out like license plates, but instead something different. A discussion and my own thoughts on the films I watch.

So from this day forward this blog will be my own personal thoughts and opinions on what I have seen, what made that film good, or bad, and anything else film related that crosses my mind.

For those of you who read my reviews, I thank you and wish to send you to my friend James blog: Whispers of a Cinematic Echo which is an excellent resource for film reviews. James has an amazing amount of reviews and it really is one of the best review blogs out there.

Thank you for checking out my blog and enjoy what you read. If you have a movie suggestion, let me know! And I'll be sure to check it out.
