Q&A Session #1

Ok, so this is the first of what I think will be Q&A sessions for the blog. For this time, these questions are all random ones that I came up with to answer. Anyway, sit back, relax, and let's answer some questions

1. How did you start reviewing films?
     So, I actually used to write user reviews for Rotten Tomatoes. That was ok, but I didn't get the same exhiliration I do from writing on the blog. Then I started doing this podcast where I reviewed movies. That was cool, but I liked writing better because I found I often stumbled over my words. Then I started the blog, and here we are today.

2. What are your favorite movies?
     I have tons of favorite movies. Jaws is one of my favorite films ever, which at some point I will review. I also like the movie Braveheart, that is a really long movie, and the the cool part about that film is that it's considered one of the most historically inaccurate films ever made. The original Karate Kid (1984), is an excellent movie that I have always really enjoyed. Some others are: Star Wars, Harry Potter, Good Will Hunting, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Dark Knight, True Romance. Amongst others.

3. What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?
     For this one, I would have to say the original Evil Dead movie. The second and third films in the series were supposed to be spoofs, but the first movie was sheer horror. I saw it when I was in seventh grade and it literally gave me nightmares. Although, it was more just like seeing weird things inside my head, but it really screwed with me.

4. What do you think of M Night Shymalan's movies?
     I've actually only seen two of his films, The Sixth Sense and Signs. Both were very good, but if you compare those stories to some of his other ones, the quality is very different. Usually those are considered his main landmark films. Kind of like how Pulp Fiction was Quentin Tarantino's landmark film. It was the one movie (or in this case, two) that really made them famous for doing their thing.

5. What is the worst movie you've ever seen?
      There's one movie I once had to stop watching because it was so slow. It was the movie Mobsters with Micheal Gambon. The film is about mobsters and hit-men, it tries way to hard to be like The Godfather and Goodfellas that it actually just reflects poorly on itself. Which usually doesn't happen in movies, but I guess could.

6. What are some movies that other people love, but you don't get the hype?
     I'm not gonna trash on these two movies because they were good, just a little different from everyone else's perception of them. The first movie is Frozen. It might just be the fact that I'm a guy, or I just didn't get the point of the movie. It was good, but I wasn't obsessed after I saw it. I left the movie and thought: OK, that was good. I never lingered over it or anything like that. The second movie, which I actually have reviewed on the blog is Natural Born Killers. I liked it, but again, I didn't linger over it after I saw it.

7. Have you ever seen Saw before?
      I've seen Saw #s 1,3,4. They were actually pretty good for films that just show people in pain. They were not all equally as good, but they each brought their own things into the series.

8. What is your favorite Disney movie?
      I have a few favorites. My number one favorite would probably be The Jungle Book. I saw it a bunch of times when I was younger. It just brings back a lot of memories, in addition to being a really good film. Other than that, Tarzan was great and so was Brother Bear.

9. What do you think of the Star Wars prequels?
    I really liked them. Even though most people trashed those three movies, I thought that the acting was for the most part good. It brought us into the past of the OT films. Solid movies.
