Film reviews for the random soul

I started to talk about this in my introduction, possibly covered up a bit by the trappings of randomness therein as well. In general, I've always liked film. The medium is a beautiful way for art to be created and conveyed, and I started studying film as a minor reached through my Media and Communications major. I love to watch, critique, and comment on movies, as my own hobby for the fun of it. Rifftrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000 are incredibly fun, as the creators parody films that are fantastic, terrible, or taking themselves too seriously. 

Multiple times, several people have told me that I should start a blog, start actually writing down reviews of films rather than simply verbally lambasting them as I watch. Hell, I did an ethnography on the cultural stimuli and norms of the Riff Club at my college, because I'm as interested in the people who enjoy critique and commentating on films as much as the act itself. So, I figured now that i find myself with a bit of time on my hands, I might as well go ahead and start one, write down some of those views, critiques, and comments that always come to mind when I watch films, and get them out there for others to see.
