Welcome to Reviews To Astonish !

People that know me also know that I watch a lot of movies. And saying that I watch a lot of movies is like saying that the Grinch had a little anxiety about Christmas. The fact is that I almost never stop watching movies; at almost any given point in the evening, you can find me in my bedroom with a movie playing in the background, which makes it hard to find time to bathe.

And what happens to all this cinema that I absorb? It just builds up and builds up until I just can't resist explaining the backstory about how "Return of the Living Dead" was almost directed by Tobe Hooper instead of Dan O'Bannon, and how the original producers settled the title lawsuit with George Romero. And then whoever I'm telling the story to reminds me that yes, of course they know who George Romero is, because I wouldn't shut up about the mise en scene of "Day of the Dead." So you see, I have to start a website about movies, because if I didn't the innocents would end up suffering.

Here at Reviews to Astonish you'll eventually find lots and lots of movie reviews, and probably a lot of short essays and articles about movies in general. I have a lot of DVDs to watch, and heaven knows I like to talk about them.

So go get some popcorn, dim the lights, and get comfy in your computer chair...
