• Welcome to my Movie Journal

    This is my attempt at keeping a journal of movies that I watch and my thoughts and experiences. This is, first and foremost, for my own personal gratification…although putting it online makes is a “bit” less personal. A few things to mention if you are going to be reading anything that I write: ............................................................ This is not a strict movie review blog…this is me capturing thoughts, etc. many of which may not even be coherent, so I apologize. ............................................................ This is a journal that I am writing for me so I am not hiding the fact that there most likely ARE SPOILERS included in the posts…I am not reviewing for an audience per se, but capturing thoughts and ideas that come out of seeing the movie... ............................................................ My ratings systems are somewhat arbitrary…more a generic scale to record my feeling on the movie…it isn’t necessarily strictly a comparison between all of the movies that I watch. I find that it is difficult to directly compare films anyway and can be silly when you're looking at different genres. Citizen Kane vs Annie Hall vs Halloween (’78) vs Once Upon a Time in China….hmmmm…. I TRY TO JUDGE A FILM ON ITS OWN MERIT FIRST, AND THEN PUT IT INTO CONTEXT WITH OTHER MOVIES ............................................................ My goal is not to pick on movies…well, unless they are really terrible... The Good Bad and Wonky items are more for fun than anything else, and just because I laugh at a movie or make fun of something doesn’t mean I don’t like it… ............................................................ I hope that this glimpse into my head (again, sorry) is somewhat entertaining for those of you who care to stop by, and if nothing else, will help to generate film discussion, or discussion in general, because that’s part of what makes life fun. Thanks for stopping in, ENJOY KZ
