Welcome to my movies - my reviews of films and devices for viewing them

I like movies - good movies.

Just about everyone does.

What one considers good varies from person to person, of course.

One thing that is pretty exciting about the era of this mid-decade is that a lot more means for viewing, renting, and buying videos has been created.

Commercial movies can now be bought from web pages and the ubiquitous iTunes program for Apple Mac and MS-Windows.

Another source is Amazon Unbox, if you do not mind being locked into a Microsoft proprietary playback format.

In general, movies you download can be played back in iTunes, with an iPod, or whatever application/device works with downloads from the particular service you bought it from. The trick is finding the right service/site that sells the right format for your device.

You can rent movies on DVD at the corner video store by your home or office. If that is not convenient enough, you can rent them at a McDonald's fast food restaurant.

If you do not get out much but can manage to bring in the mail, Netflix is the key for you.

There are quite a few ways for people to watch movies these days. You can also find great reviews on movies at sites like Yahoo Movies and All Consuming.

Not only that, but TV shows and amateur productions are now widely available at sites like: YouTube, Google Video, and Yahoo Video - to name a few.

If you are curious what TV shows are out there, that have been made over the years - dating back almost a century, in fact - then go check out TV.com, a wonderful resource for learning more about TV shows you know of, and discovering ones you would love - if you only knew about them.

Even people's blogs are becoming a useful source of movies reviews/information, these days.

You can poke around MySpace, Blogspot, and the uber aggregator of them all - Technorati, to find even more reviews from real people such as yourself.

Netflix even offers a very large repository of movie reviews, right at your fingertips. Amazon, also, no slouch at the product reviews game, is loaded with reviews for the DVDs they sell.

A lot of cool stuff is coming out so this is the decade of enjoying movies like you never have before!

So sit back, and enjoy the show!!

Along the way, I will tell you what some of my favorite movies are - and why. I will describe some of my favorite ways to watch movies, and the advantages I think these methods have over other alternatives.
