About the Crap

So after spending 20 some-odd years watching more movies than my retinas can handle and realizing right quick after graduating from college that I had no idea what to do with an English degree, Cut The Crap Movie Reviews was born. The idea: justify my existence as a walking vault of useless movie knowledge by writing about movies the way I would talk about them with my friends.

Anywho, this is going to be a pretty long project since no one told me that blogging is a freakin’ black hole of a commitment, so be the best, check in daily, scan the reviews, and vote on the polls, dear friends. Movies are awesome, so why not spread the love?

Pretty deep, huh?

    Hey, just thought I’d post a here letting you know how refreshing it is to have a reviewer out there who does things this way. You pick great movies, and the reviews are great reads. Thanks for doing something to keep good film alive!

      Haha. Thanks! Yeah, it’s been quite the ride alright and definitely helps to have some kind of excuse for all these movies I watch. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for stopping by!

    Awesome. Just AWESOME.

    Thanks for helping me navigate new movies:) Interested in Midnight in Paris. BTW, I have an English degree as well, but from China where English majors can work in any industry or…find nothing to do…Have a great weekend:)!

    • March 27, 2012 9:38 am

      Hahaha. That’s exactly what it’s like for English majors over there, too. I know the struggle well. Thanks for stopping by and hope you love Midnight in Paris!

    I like what I’ve seen of your blog so far. I don’t really write much about movies myself, but I did do a post in which I tried to watch Catwoman and remain sober — here, http://wp.me/p1SfsS-3C .

    Subscribed. Hope to get into movies a bit more thru your posts.

    • March 27, 2012 9:40 am

      Oh, man. That’s no easy feat. Never seen it in full myself, but it’s been playing on Cinemax like crazy lately and the ten minutes or so that I’ve seen is more than enough to appreciate the challenge. One day I will follow suit.

      Thanks for stopping by and happy to help!

        it’s really cool that you have found something to do with your degree. i’m an english major, too.

    aiden, have you seen The Raid before ? it’s a martial arts movie form Gareth Evans, but all of the cast are from Indonesia, i heard it was famous enough in US, you’ll love it :D

    • May 29, 2012 10:03 am

      I haven’t, I somehow missed it, but I know all about it and I’m dying to see it. Looks like I’ll have to wait ’til video, but I’m betting you’re right, sounds like a winner. Will let you know when I finally get around to it!
