First things First: Source Material

To be talking about the subject of movies... one has to understand them. One has to look deeper. One has to study some sort of pattern to see what kind of movies are good and what kind of movies are just plain out wrong.

Thankfully, I've had my sources.

My opinion of movies has grown due to these people. These people have taught me what to look for in movies. 

These are the people that have seen movies in ways that no one else has. Some of them are pretty famous. Others are not. 

1) Siskel and Ebert (R.I.P.)

Oh. These guys are the best. 

I've stayed up until 3 am watching review after review of their films. These guys know how to analyze a film and know how the film industry works. If they see a bad film, they are not afraid to call it out on it's B.S. 

Here is an example. 

Long time ago, there was a movie called North (Starring Elijah Wood) Here's the trailer:

Pretty bad... Of course... I never saw the film. But, what got me interested in it was what these guys said

Now... of course.... this is just one example... But what they say about films is pretty good. They have no limitations on what they wanted to say. I started to see films different because of these guys. 

These guys created a very professional (but blunt) way of looking at films. Not pleasing to other people... but with defining terms and having a strong stand on what you believe. 

2)

The nostalgia Critic

 This guy is frikking amazing. 

Sure, he swears... ALOT. But his opinion is the one I have in high value. He sees films in a more comedic way, but also very real. How they affect the audience and how the film works within itself. 

He reviews bad movies. His stuff is pretty good. I really respect everything he says. I suggest you check him out, but only if you are comfortable with swearing... ALOT of it. 

3) My own brother.

My brother is a very straightforward man. But the thing I learned from him was to look for the hidden things. 

He once told me all the things that went wrong within the Desolation of Smaug movie... in one scene...

When he said that... I was amazed... 

I never looked at that one particular scene like that. He saw it in such a way that no one could have done so.

Last, but not least My faith

Yes... faith is a critic. A harsh one. To have a catholic faith and to be a movie critic is very hard. You have to know what you believe so that you can look at the film in a certain lense. Does it make sense? What kind of message is it bringing to the masses? How will this affect the thought process of millions of people who watch it. 

Being a Catholic and a cinephile (Person who LOVES going to the movies) is a very hard thing to do. But it is a challenge that I've always loved.

So... those are my sources of inspiration. 

A lot of my comments are going to sound the same or some jokes might get repeated. But that is because these people helped me create a very solid opinion on a film

I still don't know what kind of movie I will review first, but hopefully, it will be a good one.
