Introducing Myself

Hi. I'm Daniel Huntington. And I want this to be a site where I write my opinions on movies. I'm very fond of movies all throughout my life, and I've been expressing a few opinions for movies on Facebook for a while now, and I enjoy sharing my thoughts on those things but, somehow, I don't feel like Facebook is the best place for me to express my thoughts anymore. I want to try to be a bit more professional with expressing my feelings with writing this time around. I'm not saying this'll automatically make my writing perfect, just improved. So here's my new criteria for my reviews.

1) At the beginning of each review, I should give some sort of plot synopsis or general idea to the reader on what the movie is about without spoiling too much.

2) I should talk about what I thought were the positives of a movie first before moving on to what I thought were the negative points. This is to make sure I don't sound pessimistic if you will.

3) I should express my opinions with my own voice. I shouldn't pretend to write as if I'm somebody else, no, I should write in a way that represents me. I'll express any sort of strong feelings I had toward it if I have any.

4) I need to connect with my audience. I'll be willing to share my opinions and wonder if the people that are reading this will agree or disagree in a healthy sort of debate if you will with my thoughts.

5) I will not allow current events and news that may be related in a sort of way with the people involved in the movie or true stories that may be based on said movie. For example, if I was reviewing American Sniper, I'm not going to talk about whether the real life Chris Kyle is a good person or not. I don't give a shit on how 'accurately' he's portrayed as compared to real life. Because that has nothing to do with the film experience for me.

6) At the end, I will give the movie a grade from 0 to 10 out of 10 scale. 0 being completely worthless to 10 being a near perfect experience.

So yeah, that's it. I hope you all enjoy my writing, and stayed tuned for any future movie reviews I write.
