It's all a canvas.

About Me

I strongly feel that film, like any other art form is an expression of the creator's emotion or a representation of an emotion told through a story. Images and sounds brought together to make a statement, to create a feeling in the people that view it. Therefore the reviews on this site are only a reflection on how I interpreted the films. There are many good films out there that I just didn't like and in those circumstances I will say so. The films that I think are 'bad movies' are usually big budget films that are thrown together with no artistic integrity just to capitalize on a particular market. I feel that this also applies to music, if music is made with honest emotion and/or message I'll try to hear the art in it but if youre just trying to jump on a bandwagon or make a buck then you get the finger because you're destroying something that I love.Seth Robert Milstein- Editor.Layout made by dimes.five at CreateBlog.com .
