About The Don
I am a regular guy who has often been frustrated by reading reviews by “professional critics”. Â They never like the same things I like. In fact, there were some that I read because I knew if they hated it I would like it. Hey, it worked for me and perhaps I will be that person for some of you that read my reviews.
I use a 1-5 Icee rating scale and even though I do, it doesn’t mean that if I give something a 3 it’s a bad movie. It may have some redeeming qualities but just not be a movie that I cared for all that much. After reading some of my reviews you’ll see that I try to justify why I give the ratings I do.
If you follow this blog, you’ll quickly find out that my wonderful wife and I like watching movies that have things that blow up (think “Expendables”), have lots of action (think “Mission Impossible”), or have a unique concept. We also enjoy watching children’s movies and occasionally a movie that is “deep”. Â I rarely watch chic flicks and never watch horror movies, so I apologize if you’re looking for reviews on them.
Going to the movies is kind of “our thing”, so we try to go to a new movie each week. We may not always achieve that goal, but it’s not for a lack of trying. If there just isn’t something good that weekend, we won’t go. Â Pretty simple, huh?
I’m not paid by anybody (other than if you’re kind enough to click on an ad that appears on the page and I get a few cents for that) so my opinion is truly my own. Â If you like hearing about a movie that is from someone that is like you, a regular non-professional critic, I hope that this blog fills that need.
