Starting Anew!

     I used to run another blog on all things film related but I have decided to start fresh with a nice clean slate.  I am hoping this could give people something interesting to read and possibly give some information on upcoming movies as well as already released ones.
     Most of what I write about is gonna be highly based on my personal opinions, and be based on some of my life experiences.  How does this go with a blog on movies, you ask?  Well, I guess I am gonna have to show you in future posts and you can let me know if all is relevant.
     Since this is my first post on this new blog I will give a short background.  When I was a kid growing up in the early 1980's I had 2 best-friends, and both of these friends families owned video stores.  I know most young people have absolutely no clue what I mean by that.  There was a time when the only way to watch a new film, that was not in the theater, you had to go rent it or buy it from a store that had walls and walls of just movies on VHS.   Yeah, there was no such thing as DVD or Blu-ray, and remember that thing called the internet?  Didn't exist then.  I was able to go to their houses and watch any new releases or older movies.  This is where my extreme love for movies came from.  I love all types of films.  I really do mean that, all types.  I am the same as most everybody in that I do have my favorites that I would much rather watch over others but I am leaving that for you to figure out.
     I have literally watched thousands of movies.  Possibly thousands of thousands if you count watching some multiple times.  I am always watching a movie.  If it's the first time I have ever seen it I pay full attention.  I also pay full attention if I have seen it a ton and love the film to begin with.  I even rewatch  films that I can remember not liking in the least bit the first time.  I would only do that because I am curious as to why I didn't like it or I am giving it a second chance.  Normally I remember why it was so bad and sometimes, not often, but I will begin to like it.  So, I normally give all films the benefit of the doubt, well......almost all.  I have a personal list of films I have absolutely no interest in ever watching and I don't think anything could get me to watch them.  But some films deserve a secondary benefit of the doubt.
     This blog isn't gonna be for new releases only, I will talk about other and older films as well.  Because some of the best movies in history came from just there.....history!
