The Shawshank Redemption

When picking my first movie to review this was a very hard choice. I then decided that Shawshank had to be my first. This is one of, in my opinion, the greatest movies ever made. The film has a great story and one of the best endings ever. This movie shows you that no matter how bad things get everything can get better as long as you try. Andy is a banker who is falsely accused of two murders and given two life long sentences at Shawshank prison. Andy at first is an outcast, but soon becomes best friends with a fellow prisoner named Red. Along the way you meet some great characters. This movie has a great plot and great acting also! Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins are cast perfect for their roles. They fit the image of this characters from the book perfect. Bob Gunton as the Warden this movie just has a wonderful cast. The Dialogue of Shawshank is great. This has some of the best lines "Get busy living or get busy dieing" and no dumb liners really stick out. Overall this movie is great. I recommend this movie to anyone it is a great tale. Andy Dufresne is one of the greatest movie characters ever.

Introduction and how the ratings will work.

Hello everyone,
   I decided to make a blog about movie reviews. I own a ton of movies and I love watching movies. I then thought about starting to review movies. I will try to review one or two movies each week. I will review movies I own currently which is around 300. I will also review a movie right away if I see it for the first time at the movie theater or on home media. I will also once in a while review a video game, but I am mostly reviewing movies.
   Now with my rating system it will be out of ten with a twenty point system ex.(8.0,8.5,9.0). For movies and games I will have categories which I rate them. For movies it will be Plot, Acting, Dialogue, and overall. For video games I will use the categories Graphics, Audio, Story, Controls, and Overall. Another side not I will put up how I viewed the movie, and basic information about the game or movie.
   If you have any questions feel free to ask and thanks again for reading my blog! I hope you have as much fun reading my review as I do writing them!
