Thoughts: On Writing About Movies

It's been a while since I last wrote about a movie I recently saw. Honestly, it's been a while since I've been in a theater to actually watch a movie. Since my last movie post about the unedited version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine back in April and that short post about 10,000 B.C. last June, I don't think I've ever written anything closely related to a movie.

Truth be told, I miss it. Writing about movies, I mean.

I may not be that big a movie buff, but I love watching movies. It's sad, though, that recent budget constraints don't really allow for much extra cash for movie tickets and a bucket of popcorn. I do keep up with movies via streaming sites on the internet, but it still doesn't beat being in the movie houses.

Let's see, I've watched a lot of recently aired movies, like:

• Jennifer's Body
• Paranormal Activity
• The Ugly Truth
• Orphan

I've got a good copy of The Surrogates and a cam-copy of 2012 waiting for me at home. I got a copy of The Echo from the office torrent pool, but it turned out to be overdubbed in French so it's pretty much useless. I had Obi look up a copy of Ponyo for movie night this Saturday, too.

Oh yeah, I forgot that we watched 500 Days of Summer in the movie house a week or so back. But alas, I never wrote about it. I might. When I've time. Maybe next time.

Right now, I just thought I needed to let the thought out here. Need to start working freelance again. Toodles.

--edit--

I correct myself. Apparently, upon checking, I have written some piece about Star Trek and Angels & Demons in between my X-Men Origins and 10,000 B.C. reviews. But nonetheless, I still miss it. :(
