The Based Update Movie Feature

The one thing that I am the most passionate about is movies. Every week I watch a handful of movies at the very least late at night when I have nothing else to do. I never wanted to put my opinion out there about movies and get into the cinema world, but I always find myself highly disappointed in the way critics write about movies today. They always over analyze every aspect of the smallest things that no-one cares the least about. If you want to see a movie, you are going to see the movie regardless of what the critics are telling you, because face it.... the critics went out of their way to see the movie just as you want to.
