Introduction

When i started thinking about possible topics for a blog, i thought.. "What interests me above anything else in life?" The answer came to me faster than you could probably fathom. MOVIES! I love them. I live for them. In a sense, they are my own little escape from reality. I can watch some of my favorite movies over and over again, because they have this ability to put me in another place and another time for a mere 1.5 hours or so. Many of my favorite films are actually independently made, and/or are by no means box office hits. For me, these are often the most captivating pieces to watch. Though every once in awhile, Hollywood surprises me with a rare and beautiful film that actually makes me remember why I first fell in love with movies in the first place.

Essentially, this blog is to express my thoughts and opinions on movies of the past and of the present. I have no intention of "bashing" movies in any way. I'm not a professional movie critic, and I have no desire to be. Hopefully, this blog will give some prospect for others who happen to come across my page, because there are truly so many magnificent films out there that do not receive as much credit as they deserve.

I suppose my goal is to get others to see how a film can impact one's life, make one question one's beliefs, and actually alter patterns of thinking. Or simply make a person laugh to tears. I sincerely hope, even if it's just a single person, falls as head over heels as i have.

Here are some of my favorite movie stills:






















FYI: Most entries will include AT LEAST one picture or video, a brief synopsis, and, of course, my point of view.
Others will just be a random thought or insight for the day. All dealing with movies.
