This is a blog post actually promoting my new blog, How to Enjoy a Movie After College. I highly recommend reading the new site's "About this Blog" to get a better idea about why I'm writing movie reviews now and how I'm going to do it, but the jist of it all is, I just wanted to give it a try. I love watching movies and eating popcorn and getting lost in the story only to be pulled back when the audience erupts in laughter or sobs or applause. I like to talk about the movie afterwards and argue with my friends about who was the cutest character because that's way more important than the deeper messages of the film. And I like to write about movies (my fifth blog post on this site was about children's movies, for crying out loud!).
So, I figured it was time to make it all official (or as official as I can be--I haven't really written movie reviews before, so this should be interesting). I'd also like to note that if you're interested in reading any of my book reviews, you can click on the little bookshelf to the right. Like my movie reviews, it's something new that I'm starting, so the selection of books to check out is small and the reviews aren't always that great. But it might give you some ideas of new books to read!
So, my question to you: What movies and/or books should I review? Heck, I might even go so far as to review tv shows and plays if this all goes well.
And my challenge to you: Check out the Fault in Our Stars (both the movie and the book). Even if you're not into romances, you've gotta support your local authors and Indiana!
Upcoming YA books made into movies include The Giver, If I Live and The Maze Runner. You definitely need to review these - both the books and the movies!
ReplyDeleteI'm already stoked about The Giver! And I'll definitely check out If I Live and The Maze Runner. :)
