I'll give it a go

Good God, I just realized how much a part of my life movies truly are! It makes me cringe to think of a life without them. In fact, I can't even remember going for longer than a week or two before I turned on the T.V. or paid a visit to the movie theater to feed my addiction. That's right, addiction, I said it. This is not a word commonly associated with a film-goer, but at this point in my life I would be willing to go that far. I love movies, the Oscar nominees, the ones that were on the bubble for being acclaimed, and yes, even the ones that are deemed quite shitty by a good amount by those that see it.
So, there's no way for me to say that I don't enjoy great movies such as No Country for Old Men; in fact, I love that film. But I think one of the most obnoxious aspects of movie critics is their quickness to write off films that say, don't have the most intricate plot, or Oscar-baiting performances, or award-winning cinematography like others. What about movies like Happy Gilmore or Ace Ventura: Pet Detective?? OK, so they may not have the most unpredictable story lines or the most superb acting, but doesn't the fact that they make people laugh, at least make me laugh hysterically and entertain the viewer, do something for their credibility?
Yes, some movies just plain suck. I know that. But I intend on observing, criticizing, and praising all kinds of movies; even the ones that have been deemed "one star" movies. I love movies, I love analyzing them, but I also like to keep an open mind when I'm viewing them, whether or not they're archived in the National Film Registry or have a permanent home in the $0.50 bin at Wal-Mart.
