Have you ever read a review of a movie or book that described in sordid detail how terrible or boring said book or movie was yet when you read or watched it you thought it quite funny/interesting/amusing/just good in general? Well we find this quite an irksome problem that crops up more often than not. Our opinion: most reviewers are just a tad bit upset that they themselves are not the ones writing the books or making the movies and decide to find every little problem that they can and blow it out of proportion.
Most of the time when a movie is rated a C or below I go see it, because nine times out of ten that will be an AMAZING movie. So we have decided to start our own little rating site so that normal people (a.k.a. the actual consumers of movies and books) can get a true review of the movies and books that are out there for you. Some of them will be recent, others will possibly be ancient – it just depends on what we feel like reading or watching at the moment. If there is anything that you want us to review feel free to put in your suggestion and we will try our best to read or watch it (or both).
We will never say that a book or movie is terrible because that is pure opinion. Nor will we claim that our reviews are unbiased since we are humans and therefore have faults but we will do something that most critics do not, we will look at movies and books for what they are: entertainment. Maybe they won’t be politically correct, and maybe there will be some typos, possibly there will be some incongruence, the plot might be a bit over the top, it may be the same as every other love story, but isn’t that what they are for? Well it is in our opinion so don’t look to us to tell you which book will be the next literary achievement or which one might become a best seller because that’s not what we judge.
We are not here to tell you what is right or wrong, we are just here to tell you what we think in a slightly kinder way than other critics and hopefully you will enjoy our completely unbiased and totally true reviews…cause we are always right and everything we say is fact.
Enjoy!
Sounds interesting. I'd like to know which you like best, the Bourne books or movies and why.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Amelie? It might be my favorite movie of all time, and I'd love to hear your reviews of it.

I am glad to have discovered your website. I will check back frequently for the discussions since it sounds like your opinions coincide with mine!
ReplyDeleteAs for "reviewers" or "critics" - don't even get me started! Not only have I learned from personal experience where their heads are usually at, but you are 100% correct about always going opposite from what they recommend. If they all rave and give a movie top ranks, I know that the bulk of the time I will hate it. And vice versa. Very strange system, IMHO.
Keep up the good work!
