The First Post

Lately, with everything kind of slowing down to a crawl in my life, and with the amount of free time I'm seemingly going to have for the coming months, I've decided I'm going to attempt to keep up with a blog.

I've tried this before (a few times) and, in all honesty, I usually write about 4 posts and then forget about it entirely. So if you come on here, say, next February (and it's September 2010 right now) and there are 4 posts and then nothing, you'll know why. But I think my biggest problem was that, when I've attempted this before, there was no goal, or aim, or anything specific to right about. Just my random musings, pure and simple. So I've got a goal this time. And hopefully that cures my "blog-writing blues".

Simply put, this blog will be about one thing and one thing only. Movies. Film art. The mise-en-scene.

I've had a passion for movies ever since I was a kid and started to cry when the credits began to role at the end of Aladdin. From there, the movies just stuck with me, like a plague. But the good kind of plague.

Basically, I've got a lot of time, and I'm doing everything I can to get into the film program at Ryerson in Toronto, so I watch a ton of movies, and I figure I may as well provide some insight while I'm at it. Get things rolling, so to speak. So this blog is for anyone that has interest in reading one man's opinions on everything film. It won't have much structure at first, and to be honest, coloring outside the lines is more fun, so it will probably never have much structure, but as I figure this blogging thing out, I'm sure it will become a little more... cohesive.

So sit back, enjoy, and please feel free to rip of my head off if you disagree with something I say, or shoot me any questions you may have. I'll do my best to respond.

On to movies!
