J Marcus DVD and Movie reviews
Movies have become an integral part of modern day entertainment. Americans love to go to the theater to see the latest summer blockbuster, and scarf down a gallon of soda and a barrel of
buttered popcorn. There is nothing quite like the feeling as when the lights begin to dim and after watching 15 minutes of commercials and trailers, the
THX bass reverberates through the seats. In an effort to bring a little bit of that excitement to our houses, home theater has exploded in popularity in the last few years. With surround sound, big screen TV’s and DVD’s everyone is at least on some level trying to keep up with the Joneses.
For the last two years, I’ve been reviewing theatrical releases and DVD movies for a number of publications. Now, I’ve decided to bring a bit of my experience and a lot of opinion to my blogger audience. These will be shorter, more informal versions of my other reviews. There will be more in-depth versions archived on my regular site for those looking for a little bit more.
Still, I’m excited to have another forum on which to share my love of movies. Unlike many reviewers, I look forward to the dialog from readers. The best thing about reviewing movies is that it is so subjective. But if I can save someone from spending $10 on a truly bad movie, then I’ve done a good days work.
I’ve posted my first review on the site already. This last weekend I saw Dodgeball: A TRUE underdog story with a couple of friends. I was not excited to see this movie. We came back from camping for the weekend and they ribbed up going to see this one. I decided to tag along. At least it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be.
Although I’m not sure if it is a good sign that this one turns out to be the inaugural review for this new blog.
