Greetings, fellow movie lovers! I am Madeline the Movie Maven; welcome to my movie reviews blog. I’m no industry insider but I see dozens of movies every year, from mainstream to indies to foreign flicks. I know what I like, and I know what I don’t. But then, don’t we all.
Before I share my first review with you, I will make two promises: (1) I will try very hard not to reveal too much about any movie I review and (2) I will always say what I liked and didn’t like about the film, which I believe are standard ingredients of a fair critique.
Now let’s talk about ratings. As someone who craves originality, I’ve decided to chuck the conventional "stars" method and invent my own. It's pretty self-explanatory:
- I’d pay to see it twice!
- Worth full price
- Matinee
- Rental
- Not even for free
Something to remember: We all have different tastes. So, take my opinions with the proverbial grain of salt. You’ll soon find out if I say "tom-aaa-toe" and you say "tom-ah-toe", or if we both put ketchup on our scrambled eggs. I invite you to post your thoughts, opinions and critiques in the "Comments" section so we can engage in a fun, intelligent, yet civilized, dialogue.
Okay, grab some popcorn, stow all drinks in the appropriate cup holders, and let's start discussing one of the most talked about, and dare I say anticipated, movies of the year: Casino Royale.
Just found your blog today. I hope you keep it up - it's very enjoyable to read.
