Welcome to
Qwipster's Movie
Reviews. Those of you who've ever looked
at the IMDB, MRQE, or Rotten Tomatoes will know that there are
countless other sites in which you may find film reviews, many
featuring critics much more famous and knowledgeable in film than
I. Why would you read my page? That is a question
which you must answer for yourself. I would mention that I
try to speak not as a critic but as a lover of the movies and hope I
convey that message in every review, whether positive or not.
I write reviews as a hobby, not a profession, and certainly
don't get paid. I am not in the pocket of movie companies; I
am no blurb-o-matic whose sole purpose is to write quotable lines like
"The Slam-Bang Action Powerhouse of the Summer," "You'll Laugh, You'll
Cry, You'll Cheer," or "The Feel-Goodiest Movie in All of Creation."
Unlike some commercial critics, I am neither going to give my highest
rating to a film just to get you to see it, nor will I give it the
lowest unless I feel it truly deserves it.. My main objective is to
provide thoughtful commentary about movies I have viewed for others who
share the passion for films that I do.
