This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist.
He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.

P.S. on Real Steel
Yeah, it's Rocky.
Yeah, it manipulated emotions like a Disney movie.
Yeah, it was predictable.
Yeah, it was entertaining. I say that begrudgingly.
And yeah, I misjudged a book (movie) by its cover (trailer).
