Welcome to Critical Rewind

Are you tired of reading boring, stodgy-sounding movie reviews written by overpaid windbags? Do one word reviews like "Fun!" irritate you to the point of wanting to stab your neighbor with an icepick? Well this blog may be for you. We're not a traditional movie critique site by any means. Instead of only featuring new movies, we are going to draw upon years and years of whatever cinematic masterpieces (or disasters) that we feel like watching and find worthy of review here. There is no set criteria for a movie we pick to write about; all it has to do is stand out to us in some way. Our overall purpose is to inform our readers of the virtue (or downright awfulness) of movies and to promote discussion of said movies.

The format of our entries is subject to change, but they'll generally feature a "specs" section, a "synopsis" section, and a paragraph or two each by my wife and I about the movie at hand.These paragraphs can include critiques, stories, rants, pretty much whatever we feel like writing. We'll include screen shots and video clips where pertinent. Think of it as sort of an Internet-based Siskel and Ebert without the ugly fat guys.

So keep an eye out... You might laugh, you might cry, you might hurl, but most importantly, you just might find another movie that will either become a cherished classic or live in infamy and haunt your dreams.
