Movies are subjective...

  Just like the saying "no two snowflakes are alike," the same can be said about movie preferences. Each and every person has similar "likes" and "dislikes" when it comes to movies. Even if people share the same favorite type of movie genre, (whether it is a drama, action, comedy, etc...), can still not share that same movie choice in that particular genre. How many times on the show "Siskel & Ebert" did they argue on a movie they were critiquing that week? Both were highly respected movie critics that had seen countless movies, so obviously they were well qualified as a reputable source. Yet they still disagreed... a lot.
  Therefore there is no right answer on whether a movie is good or not. Sure some movies are technically better than others, but nobody is wrong for liking a particular movie. We all have our guilty pleasures that others may find ridiculous, so we just keep it to ourselves out of pure embarrassment.
  Don't ever feel if you liked a movie but others didn't that your opinion is worthless, I should take my own advice on that for sure. So what I am trying to do on this site is share my thoughts on movies I rented and enjoyed. Choices I feel like sharing with others who may also enjoy them. I am not an expert by any means, and certainly not at the level of critics like Roger Ebert or Richard Roeper. All I am is a movie fan who loves watching and discussing movies with family, friends and co-workers. You may not agree with my particular choices that I make here, but that is OK, you don't have to. All I ask is for you to have your own choices, so I invite you to share your comments and likes. Remember no two snowflakes are alike, movies are subjective.
