I am a father of 2 boys who is a former theatre major turned scientist turned movie addict. I’ve got many interests and past-times, but from an early age I knew that I had some sort of connection to films…not just liking them, but being able to experience them, remember when and where I saw them, who was in them, what else it was like…it was like this world that I was born connected to, or something weird like that. I began trying to journalize my thoughts and experiences with films during the 2007 Wisconsin Film Festival, to varying success. My hope is to just get my thoughts out while I try to figure out just what to do with this passion of mine in my life.
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 KZPLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT

Wow! Interesting things here. What a great idea for you. Sorry it has taken me so long to check it out. I don’t recognize many of the titles, but it was interesting to read the reviews of the movies we’ve both seen.
Haven’t you seen Juno yet? You need to rate Juno!!!!
I love your site!

Thanks for writing about my film ‘Win or Lose: A Summer Camp Story’, I thought you wrote a pretty fair criticism and I appreciate that you came out to see it and took the time to write about it.
Good Luck!
