The state of Georgia has never been known for its booming movie business...still isn't and probably never will be. And, unless you live in a city like Atlanta or Savannah, it is difficult to find someone who really and truly loves movies. Sure, theaters and video stores are booming businesses here...but they are filled with entertainment seekers and not movie lovers. This probably sounds pretentious, but I am not implying in any way that I am superior to anyone; there is nothing wrong with going to a movie solely for entertainment value, but that is not necessarily what I do. I look at each movie has a work of art, some being better than others. I look at the skill of the screenwriter, the precision of the director, and the talent of the cast. That being said, it's difficult to find someone like me in and around the area where I live. This blog serves a multitude of purposes: first and foremost, to entertain and inform you and, secondly, to provide myself with an outlet for all of thoughts on the latest movies to hit theaters and DVDs.
This blog will be managed quite casually. This means that I will not have a stringent schedule for posting new reviews or covering breaking news items. In a typical week, I will be updating daily...but, as a college student, schoolwork must come first and, therefore, I cannot commit myself to any specific schedule. That being said, a list of my upcoming reviews will be provided on the right side of the screen and this list, though subject to change, is almost entirely accurate. Each new review is fairly self-explanatory, except in terms of the star-rating awarded to each film. My scale (out of four) is divided into two sections: obviously, recommended and not recommended. Then, within each section, the individual ratings indicate the quality (or lack thereof) of the actual film. The following star ratings can be assumed to be recommended: 4 stars, 3.5 stars, 3 stars, and 2.5 stars. The following star ratings can be assumed to be not recommended: 2 stars, 1.5 stars, 1 star, 0.5 star, and o stars. The ratings should be considered to be subjective and not relative.
In addition to the movie reviews and entertainment news coverage, this side will cover all of the major awards, including the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. But, I will also hold my own annual awards, The Georgia Awards. The awards announcements (including all of the nominees and the winners) will be announced over the course of the week leading up to the Academy Awards broadcast, beginning on the Sunday before and ending on the day of the Academy Awards with the announcement of the Best Motion Picture Of The Year. The awards and the days of the week on which they will be announced are as follows: Best Supporting Actress (first Sunday), Best Supporting Actor (Monday), Best Actress (Tuesday), Best Actor (Wednesday), Best Director (Thursday), Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy (Friday), Best Motion Picture: Drama (Saturday), and Best Motion Picture of the Year (second Sunday). All of the announcements will include the five nominees (three in the case of Best Animated Feature) and the winner chosen from them. The Best Motion Picture of the Year award will be selected from the winners of Best Drama, and Best Musical or Comedy.
My new year's resolution is to propel this blog to success over the next twelve months so that, one year from now, I can look back with amazement at all of its many achievements.
