The Point of My Blog

Okay. So I've had an account on here for a while but never took the time to set up my blog. Mostly that was due to the fact that I could never come up with an idea as to what the point of this thing should be. I think I finally came up with something. I've been toying with the idea of somehow figuring out how to become a movie critic. Most of those who know me know that I love movies. I have to admit I like going to the theater more than sitting at home watching movies, but that isn't always feasible since I'm still a college student. Plus I don't always have people to go to the movies with. Luckily I got over the awkwardness of going to the movies by myself. And, also luckily, though more for myself, I've found a movie buddy again in my friend Jill from high school who I recently reconnected with. She and I have seen four movies together in about two months. So the point of my blog, to go along with my desire to somehow figure out how to become a movie critic, is to provide whoever cares to read this thing, with reviews of movies I see. I'm trying to decide if I should review movies I see on DVD, or if I should just stick to movies I see in the theater. If you have an opinion or suggestion let me know. Also, as I write these reviews, if there are things you'd like to see added or taken out, let me know that too. I'm trying to figure out what people like to see from their critic, so criticism and suggestions are welcome. For now, what I'm planning on doing is similar to what I've done on my blog on my myspace account. That means I'll list the movie, who I saw it with, where I saw it, when I saw it, a basic rundown of the plot without giving too much away, what I liked, what I disliked, and then general conclusions for each movie. I'm also trying to decide if I want to grade movies and if I should include the genres of the movies. So, I guess that's it for now. I'm tired and have to study for finals so I'm gonna crash. The first four reviews I'll put up are the movies I've seen with Jill--21, The Ruins, Iron Man, and Made of Honor. So look for those in the coming days.
