I like movies.

I like mostly everything about movies, from the story to the editing, the music, to the art direction. I can't remember a time when I didn't like movies.

The reason I needed to get this out (at 3am!?)  is because I am going to see Christopher Nolan's new film, The Dark Knight Rises, with my wife and a few friends at the IMAX theater this evening, and then I will write my thoughts here on this blog. But first things first.

Christopher Nolan rarely misses. In fact, of his (relatively) short filmography, I can't see one bad film. Now I use the term 'bad' loosely, because, of course, every film has its quirks, its moments. But that's besides the point. Christopher Nolan is good. In my opinion (which everyone is entitled to), he is one the best film directors out there right now. Nolan  is mentioned in the same breath as Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, and is practically a household name. He puts the story and its characters first and foremost in his films, and then complements them with stunning visuals (ala Inception). I wouldn't see The Dark Knight Rises on anything but IMAX the first time around. (And you know what? I am actually looking forward to the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, simply because Christopher Nolan had a hand in writing the story).

I feel like I needed to get this out because I like movies. I enjoy plunging into the world of the film and seeing how it all unfolds.

With that said, stay tuned for my review.

Okay, here's the idea...

I tend to ramble on, sometimes in public forums across the internet, and so I thought it might be nice to have a place to keep those ramblings and provide one-stop shopping to the literally several people who might be interested in them.


Stay tuned for miscellaneous thoughts on digital cinema, movies, new camera technology, and whatever else is on my mind at the time. I'll try to avoid telling you what I ate for lunch or other such customarily blogworthy events. 


EDIT: Stay tuned for my thoughts about The Dark Knight Rises.
