Reviews coming!

Hey everyone!

I'm Collin Sims, welcome all to my new blog! I've loved movies all my life and I wanted to share my passion with you all.  

 I decided to start this blog recently and it was a decision I put off for a long time. I have been hesitant to do this since it seems there's a large amount of people who write about movie reviews, but in the past few months I've really become a huge fan of Screen Junkies, Chris Stuckmann and The Flick Pick. Those guys have inspired me to start my own platform. As Stuckmann said (and I'm heavily paraphrasing here, so Chris please don't sue me if you read this), very few things are original and it's your personality....who you are...that makes it unique. 

 Hopefully that's true for me and my writing! If not, then I'll guess I'll have to try harder...which is part of my personality most of the time anyway.

 As most of you know or are aware of, summer is the big movie season for a lot of studios as it is when kids are out of school, vacations are planned, and the big tentpoles (which here is a word meaning big budget movies) come out. For me, the last two summers haven't had a TON of movies I was excited to see but it looks like this summer is going to be VERY different. 

 It looks like there is at least one good movie coming out a week, sometimes multiple, so I'll definitely keep busy and share with you guys which movies are good, which are meh and which are just bleh. Like Stuckmann, I grade on a scale of A+ all the way down to F. I also plan on doing thoughts and posts on movies in my collection and on the AFI Top 100 Movies list since I plan on going through that this year as well. 

 Considering I'm updating my movie collection from DVD to Blu-Ray, I may share some of my hauls here too. Here is the current list of movies I plan on reviewing all the way through this summer:
  • Alien: Covenant
  • Everything, Everything
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
  • Baywatch
  • Wonder Woman
  • Captain Underpants
  • The Mummy
  • The Room (been meaning to see this one for a VERY long time)
  • It Comes at Night
  • Cars 3
  • All Eyez on Me
  • Rough Night
  • Transformers: The Last Knight
  • The Book of Henry
  • Baby Driver
  • Despicable Me 3
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming
  • War for the Planet of the Apes
  • Dunkirk
  • Atomic Blonde
  • The Dark Tower
  • Detroit
  • Ingrid Goes West
  • The Only Living Boy in New York
  • The Hitman's Bodyguard
If you all have any movies this summer, you want me to review that aren't on the list please let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate. 

Stay tuned!

Movies I love to watch over and over

Disclaimer: this is an old blog post from an older blog that I've decided to re-post here and added two new movies since the original post that I love. Please enjoy. I read an article on  Buzzfeed  recently wherein they asked readers to submit movies they consider to be rewatchable. Movies that you can watch anytime or repeatedly and they're entertaining and fun no matter what you're doing or feeling. They hold onto their quality and you don't get sick of them. I have my favorite movies, but I never really considered what movies I find rewatchable. So that's why I made this list. There are several here that were on the Buzzfeed list, but I love them and find them heavily rewatchable anyway personally...so I threw them on this list. In no particular order, these are movies I feel are heavily rewatchable. 1.  Deadpool I listed this one on my list of June obessions and went into about what I love about it. But no matter how many times I watch this movie, I find it hi...

Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Image
Directors: Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg Cast: Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya Scodelario, Geoffrey Rush, Kevin McNally Date seen: Thursday, May 25th, 2017 Theater: AMC Grove City Classic Overall Rating: C+ Walt Disney Pictures It takes a lot to get me excited for a film that is the latest in a franchise, especially when that franchise is five films in. I remember when the first Pirates first was released fourteen years ago (!!) and going to see it with my family. As a kid, I was blown away by the special effects, the engrossing story, the fleshed out characters, the epic action scenes and, of course, the famous Jack Sparrow. Sorry! CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow! I think it was the first time I had seen Johnny Depp in a movie and after that, I was a fan. It was also released towards the end of Lord of the Rings, so Orlando Bloom's popularity was at an all-time high. Not to mention it was the big debut of Keira Knightly, whom I had a huge crush after...

180 Reviews: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Image
For some time now, I've been thinking about other content I can share or different ways in which I can present content here for you all. I decided that there will be times I will want to review older films leading up to new installments or iterations, like the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but I didn't want to just do a typical review. Walt Disney Pictures So instead, I will be creating something different. I present you with 180 Reviews, a series I will be doing that is reviewing movies in 180 characters or less. I'll be doing them once a day leading up to my review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales . Here is my first review on Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl . Curse of the Black Pearl: what action movies should be, classic Disney, great cast and lots of fun. Johnny Depp steals the show! A+ I'll be back with this series tomorrow with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men's Chest , not to be confused with the new mo...
