I enjoy watching films at the cinema, and lots of my friends know I do watch a lot. But rather than having to spend time explaining to each and every one of them what I thought of them a dozen times throughout the week, I decided putting it on a blog and pointing them to it is more time-effective!
I also have the occasional thought on films more generally, about how they are both derived from and also influence culture, how people interpret things, getting emotionally invested in a franchise or a specific character, and what it all means in the bigger picture.
However, I am not a film study major or have any expertise in filmmaking, so this blog is mostly opinion, with the occasional nitpicking using common sense. But I hope my thoughts might be able to help you decide whether a film is worth watching, even if it's not your normal cup of tea.
