Films

I’m kind of a movie junkie but I have a definite opinion of what a film should be for me to enjoy it. It should be entertaining and fun, a bit of something new, the guy should get the girl, they should save the world, and preferable it should be funny. Death and destruction should be important to the story if it’s included. I hate the “shoot-em-up, kill, kill” kind of film, however I loved the original Night of the Living Dead and I liked Resident Evil, so it’s not the death or graphic killing that bothers me, just the sheer stupidity of some of those kinds of plots.
If you’re interested in how I rate some films, you can become one of my Netflix “friends” and share our faves and hates here: Netflix. I’m currently at about 3,100 ratings however some of those are “not interested” ratings. The hazards of working at a video rental place in high school.
