Now Playing

Greetings and welcome to a brand new season of Mr. Director’s Reviews!  You’ve come to the right place for the correct opinion on movies, books, theater, and any other storytelling medium I feel like reviewing.  You’re sure to be enlightened!

Okay, so I’m really just another guy with a blog and an opinion.  But I enjoy watching movies, I’ve made a handful of amateur productions with the goal of directing a feature film for wide release someday, and I enjoy writing about movies.

What makes a movie good or bad?  That is a question that is entirely unanswerable.  Certainly there are technical aspects of a film which should reach a certain unwritten standard necessary to getting the film into a viewable form at all.  But after those basic requirements, it becomes a matter of taste.  And while we could debate what constitutes good taste and what does not, the simple fact is no two people are going to have the same taste all around.

So the reviews here are simply my personal take on things.  You’re welcome to stop in often, leave notes, agree or disagree, and have fun with it.  If, somewhere in there, I can pass on a little of what I believe makes a movie good or bad, then I’ve succeeded.

See you at the movies!
