Closure: March 2014

 

Unfortunately, March was just as busy as February for me, but I did have time to watch a few great movies and write a couple of reviews. In case you missed it, check out my review of Divergent, here. And, be on the lookout for a Noah review in the next week or so!

Also, I've decided to find a few guest writers for the blog, as the busy summer-movie season approaches. So, if you have ever been interested in writing a movie review or writing about anything movie-related, shoot me an email at robert.t.jones@eagles.usm.edu. I would love to have you write something up for this blog or give you any pointers, if you want to get started on a blog of your own! Don't worry, folks... I'm not going anywhere! Just wanted to mix it up a little!

Take a look at all of the movies I watched in the month of March:

Movie Watched	Year	Format	Did I Enjoy?	Would I Watch Again?
The Perks of Being a Wallflower	2012	DVD > Own	Yes	Yes
Nebraska	2013	DVD > Redbox	Yes	No
Dazed and Confused	1993	TV > Starz	Yes	Yes
What's Eating Gilbert Grape	1993	TV > Netflix	Yes	Yes

Closure: February 2014

 

 

Often times, I have people come up to me and ask me about the quality of certain films or if I have seen a film. Sometimes, I actually have an answer for them, and that answer may not be accessible through one of my reviews (because I can't write about EVERY movie that I watch). So, this month, for the first time, I have decided to share with you every single film that I have watched over the past month. Hopefully, this type of write up will become a monthly thing, but, for now, it is in beta-mode. My plan for this segment is to give people a look at some of the films that I have watched and, potentially, peak their interest in some films that may only be found on Netflix or at the Redbox or wherever. I try to write a review of most every film that I watch in the theater, but, sometimes, even those don't get their own write-up. This new segment, which I have deemed "Closure," will give you a list of every film that I have watched over the previous month, how I watched each film, and whether I would suggest it for the average moviegoer. Hopefully, I will have people come up to me and say, "Hey! I saw where you watched x! How was it? What was it really about?" Anyway, let me know what you think about the segment and how I could change it to better please my readers! Enjoy...

February has been a fairly busy month, with school kicking into high gear, so I haven't had time to watch too many films. However, I managed to avoid any duds, which means you should check out each of the films below:

Movie	Year	Format	Did I Enjoy?	Would I Watch Again?
Super 8	2011	Blu-Ray > Own	Yes	Yes
The LEGO Movie	2014	Theater > Matinee	Yes	Yes
All is Lost	2013	Blu-Ray > Redbox	Yes	No
Ain't Them Bodies Saints	2013	DVD > Redbox	Yes	Yes
Despicable Me 2	2013	Blu-Ray > Borrowed	Yes	Yes
Dazed and Confused	1993	TV > Starz	Yes	Yes
