Movie Review Preview

I have been grossly out of touch of late. It’s a combination of schedule and personality. Add to that the inevitable accumulation of past obligations (i.e. sh*t piling up), and avoidance has become the better part of valor.

But I find myself wanting, for some odd reason/delusion, to share a few things with you that are germane.

Lately, I have been asking myself why I write reviews. I think at least in part that’s also because I have been asking myself why I watch movies.

It’s been a pretty lousy stretch of celluloid lately, and the idea of letting myself get essentially sht on for 90 minutes only to spend 120 minutes talking about getting sht on is just too much.

Recent films have depressed me, and I find it really difficult to get angry enough to even bother writing about the sh*tty little messes. I’d rather just ignore them. Besides, given my acquaintances/memberships in certain websites, I stand to offend people I may not want to.


As I write this, I struggle with wanting to simply throw all the movies together here in this entry or write separate ‘reviews.’

Frankly, most of them aren’t worth the effort, at least in my opinion.

But, for the sake of thoroughness and continuity, I will do it.

It’s what I do.

I think you can practice writing quicker reviews for movies that deserve less of your time.

May you could write shorter, "capsule," reviews for the less worthy efforts. Concentrate on finding a few scathingly funny things to describe the lame effort to make a movie and leave the rest. Those are typically the highlights of your reviews of awful movies anyway, the take-away moment, if you will. Set yourself the task of keeping the reviews of bad movies to a set number of words. You might have to work a bit harder in the beginning, but after a few goes, you should have the art of the scathing, short and sweet review mastered. Your fans will still be rolling in the aisles, and you should have more time for other pursuits.
