A New Sherrif in Town
January 9th 2009 16:24
I'm not him. I don't know how many ways to say it. He's got a mustache, I have modest cleavage. There are BIG differences.
Also, I think he went AWOL on us, and the fine folks at Orble decided to give me a fair shot at taking over this little corner of awesome on the internet.
I'd thought about devoting a whole daily post to this topic, but this is a little more persistent, and I don't think I could put off doing a review for a whole day - I might explode.
So, here's what you can expect from me: I am not the run-out-and-see-the-latest-mo vie kind of gal, at least not just because it's the latest movie. I prefer to hold out and give a movie a little breathing room, kind of like a fine wine (unless that movie is a much-anticipated comic book adaptation, in which case all bets are off and gods help the punks that get in my way between here and the advanced screening).
I live in Wyoming, and there are a lot of movies that just don't get played here. That's getting better, but what it really means is that I tend to mostly watch films on DVD. I have my trusty Netflix account, and so far, there is only one movie that I've wanted to see that wasn't available (and that's the topic of another post). What this means for you, the reader, is that you might see a review for a movie that came out last week, or you might see a review for a movie that was released in 1943. It just depends on my mood.
I'd like to say that I will never do a "popcorn review" or a "brain-fluff movie", but that's just not realistic. Sometimes, it just happens. You sit down to watch a deep, heart-felt treatise on the plight of the human condition, and then suddenly the television breaks out in some Zimmer-esque spoof-a-thon with state troopers pretending to be superheroes getting stoned in a horror movie while trying to land an airplane in a black hat and fuzzy slippers. It just happens.
What I can offer is that when I write a review, it's because I feel there's something you really, really need to know about a movie. It could be that it's the greatest undiscovered classic of all time. It could be that it blows goats for quarters. You never know. I don't avoid bad movies, but I will let you know if a film gets so bad that I have to walk out or turn it off. That list is very short, but it still exists.
So, there it is, all laid out for you. Let me know you're here and leave a comment. I like comments, and I read them all, every day. Sometimes twice on weekends.
