Welcome to Jon's Reel World. This blog is dedicated to all things film, be it news, box office analysis, reviews, and overall thoughts on the industry. Ideally, I would like to have new entries on a daily basis to keep up with all that is happening within the industry, because lets face it if I fall behind there will be an absurd amount of catching up to do.
As far as reviews are concerned, I'll have at least one new movie review up every Friday/Saturday. I could promise more, but lets face it, as an entry level employee at a non-profit, I'm not exactly rolling around in piles of money, so the movies that look better will probably get my $11 ($17 if it's in 3-D). I'll also be reviewing older movies from time to time, to keep things fresh and to save my sanity during the normally slow months at the cineplexes (January-February, September).
Box office analysis will typically come on Sundays, and it will be covering more than just the numbers. There are a lot of reports as to why X movie performed well and Y movie performed poorly, and I find it kind of shocking when analysts are surprised that a bad movie performed below their expectations (Gulliver's Travels comes to mind). No one really comes out and says, "Well, its because that movie blows."
As far as thoughts on the industry, there are a couple semi-current stories that I will be touching on this weekend, such as the Candy Land movie that is allegedly coming out (whoever made that deal with Hasbro at Universal deserves to be sent through every circle of Hell),as well as the always awesome trend of remakes and why attendance has been down in recent years.
If there is anything you, the readers would like to posted or covered, feel free to contact me at jgiuffre7@gmail.com. I'm always up for other's opinions and thoughts.
