How this blog came to be.
The topic for this blog came from me wanting to do reviews and such on movies in a more positive light. It seems mainstream critics have become overly harsh. Movies that I have fallen in love with have received hate for ridiculous reasons. It's important for me to give fair reviews so great works of art are not ignored.
Why listen to me?
My interest for action movies started at a young age. I grew up watching some of the greats including but not limited to Rambo, Die hard and Gladiator. I offer a unique unbiased perspective. I pride myself on being different and will not spread hate because the prior critic before me has. Movies that I review will be as diverse as my taste. I have liked sci-fi action movies, comedy action movies and so on.
What this blog hopes to achieve. 
This blog does not seek to discredit the validity of reviews on sites such as https://www.rottentomatoes.com. It simply wishes to add another opinion. People have diverse taste the internet allows each to be shared through multiple means. 
I hope to post detailed reviews that are fair. I will make them interesting, but informative. Any critiques I have of a film will be explained and put up for debate.  I hope readers that are as interested in movies as I am share their opinions. I do not claim to be all knowing and hope through discussion conclusions can be reached. In movies suggestions are welcomed and any comments.

  1. First off tell me about your opinion of Suicide Squad. After watching Batman v Superman I have been reluctant to read anything rotten tomatoes have said about that movie and Suicide Squad. I can say that I have not watched any of the Rambo movies and die hard movies. Mostly those movies were before my time, before I even started getting into movies like that. Now a days I have back catalog of movies I need to watch. But I will be looking forward to reading your reviews.

    1. This sounds like a good idea that I could implement in the future. They were before my time too. I got into them because of my grandparents for the most part.

  3. I agree with you when you say that movie critics have become harsh. I rarely look at movie reviews and if I do, it's after I see the movie for myself. This is probably because of my love for B-film horror movies that all have received terrible reviews. I feel like Rotten Tomatoes and other similar sites are unfair when it comes to reviewing certain movies. Maybe there should be another site that rates movies on different categories than those of popular critics and other websites. What other categories do you think these sites could rate?

    P.S. That picture of Rambo is awesome. haha.

    1. That site sounds like a great idea. As for the categories it could vary depending on the genre.

  4. I love that you are going to offer a separate opinion of movies, some of which didn't get such a great rating or review. I work at Family Video, a rental company. I've been there for almost 3 years now and sometimes we only get one or two copies of a seriously great movie. But all customers see is that we got a few copies so it "must not be that great". However a lot of great movies, critics didn't necessarily like and customers didn't necessarily like movies that got amazing reviews.

    1. I use to go to family video as a kid every weekend. It was just a thing my family did. I definitely can relate to the customer assuming movies aren't good because there's only a few copies.
