Welcome Fellow Movie-Watchers

My name is Jonathan Pires.  I guess it is my good fortune that you stumbled across my little website here.  For the past few years, I have been obsessed with movies.  At first, it was a very shallow love, simply admiring the explosions and special effects of Hollywood blockbusters.  Over time though, I began to look at films more critically.  It started to take more than Optimus Prime and scantily clad women to peak my interest.

I started to develop opinions about the movies I was watching, and critical ones at that.  Every time I finished a movie, I wanted to tell whoever I was with how I felt about it.  I began taking film classes and learning how films were made.  Friends and family began to look for my opinion of films.  This slow progression from mindless movie-watcher to thoughtful cinema critic led me to the place I am now.

My intentions for creating this place of criticism are to thoughtfully (and sometimes sarcastically) let fellow movie-goers know whether or not movies are worth their time.  I do not expect every person who reads a review to agree with me.  I am simply here to let you know what I think of films in a simple and coherent manner.  Whether or not you see a movie is frankly up to you.

With time and money being two things people hate to waste, I thought I may be able to provide a service to help people save them.  My hope is that people can spend two minutes here, reading my reviews, to save them two hours of sitting through a dreadful movie, $11.00 poorer.
