OFF WEEK - Promised Land


I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog.  It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie.  I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently.  However, when I do that, I tend to not be nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.  

In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits.  Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles.  Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.


I've never seen Matt Damon in a role for which I didn't care.  All the way back to Good Will Hunting he's done a great job.  The most recent movie I saw him in, True Grit, really surprised me.  I didn't expect to like it at all, but I did.  I really enjoyed his performance, as well as everyone else's.  I also like the real-life drama of movies like this one, too.  Even smaller budget films like Flash of Genius that are based on real-life events or are set in a world where something is based loosely off of our world's drama is always something I've really enjoyed.
