About

To me, a "good" movie is one that leaves me feeling good.

I hate picking up a film hoping for a nice evening only to have the movie leave me feeling crappy. Not that I don't enjoy those movies sometimes. But after a long hard day the last thing I want is to watch a movie that leaves me feeling depressed.

So I've created a checklist of what makes a "good" movie. And on this blog I will review movies using this checklist, so that people looking for a "good" movie can pick up a flick without any surprises.
