Welcome!

First off, I would like to thank any of you reading this for visiting Film School Rejects.

Secondly, I would like to tell you a little about myself and my contribution to this website. I would like to consider myself a cinephile, videophile, and audiophile. I do enjoy going to the theater, but I mostly watch most of my movies on DVD. I will be viewing DVD’s either on a Toshiba 46” HD Rear Projection, Samsung 46” HD DLP, or a Mitsubishi 55” HD Plasma. I have a THX rated 6.1 audio receiver, HD DVD players, and everything is ran with Monster THX cables. The sound and video quality of a film matter a great deal to me, and further the value of my purchase. It is my intention to shed light on the finer aspects of a film’s presentation, in an attempt to help others regard a film in a different way.

Lastly, what I mostly look for in a film is creativity and originality. I know some of you will disagree with my reviews but some people disagreed with Chris Columbus (not the director) and look how that turned out…

Some of the films that I like and the reasoning:

The Godfather / The Birth of the Italian stereotype
Zoolander / The Birth of the Frat Pack (Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson)
Seven / My respect for Kevin Spacey blossomed
Sin City / I’m a comic book nerd
Super Speedway / Wanna show off your home theater? Buy this DVD
Finding Nemo / I’m still a kid at heart
Garden State / Proof that there are still fresh minds in Hollywood. Enter Zach Braff
Memento / Proof that original and smart does not necessarily mean boring

I love film, and I love to argue. I encourage all of you to comment on my reviews, and tell me when I’m good and when I need serious psychiatric attention.
