The Year of 2017 in Films:
I went to the movies 117 times. I spent 1,376 dollars and 54
cents on Blu-ray's and DVDS this year. I am a movie nerd.
First things first, I vote on movies that can be seen by the
public. I don't vote on films that only a hand full of people can see because
of screener's. True film choices are made if the public can see the movie. If a
movie is made in 2016 but does not get a wide release until 2017 then that film
will be voted for in 2017, because it will be seen by the masses and therefore
are eligible.
There was some wonderful Oscar worthy films to grace the cinema world, but there were those few movies that
never get the credit they deserve. That never get the push they deserve because
they don't have high budgets or famous people, or the push of Hollywood or the
glitz and glamour of the red carpet type persona.
When I go into a movie, I don't go into the movie expecting
it to be an Oscar worthy picture. I go into it to be entertained, to be struck
with something thought-provoking or sometimes just a feature for senseless eye
candy.
All movies don't have to be put out by Hollywood or the
elite makers of cinema, for movies are movies.
My list consist of movies with high-class of the screen,
starring some bigwigs. There is some lower class Cinema starring some bigwigs that
never got the push, and there are those that nobody's ever heard of.
To be a true movie reviewer you have to adventure outside of
just Hollywood cinema or the big budget set up, for there are countless movies
that never make it to the big screen, that never get the Hollywood push. There
are films that come direct to video. There are films that go through the indie
theater market. There are films showcased publicly that fight and struggle to
be seen. There are foreign films.
So without further a-do, my top ten film list that I feel
created something new and fresh and
entertaining.
