There are a million reasons critics have when they love or hate a movie and you've likely heard them use each reason a million times. 191 Movies would like to share with you an easy way you can be your own movie critic - maybe a better critic than the people getting paid to do it!
Here's how it works. If a movie sounds at all interesting, you watchit. See it in a theatre or rent the DVD. Then you ask yourself one question:
Would I watch this movie again?
In other words, do I like this movie enough to own the DVD? If the answer is yes, this is a great movie. It seems obvious, maybe too obvious, but think about this for a second:
A great movie is a movie you can watch over and over again. If you can't watch it more than a few times, it's not a great movie. You can argue about the acting, editing, script, photography, director. You can even argue about the popcorn.
But, in the end, all you really need to know is whether or not this is a film you want to see again.
Look at it this way. Do you buy a DVD with the idea you're going to watch it once and throw it away? Of course not. You buy a DVD because the movie is a keeper. It's something you can count on to entertain you 10 days or10 months or even 10 years from now!
That's how you determine the value of owning a movie. No matter what kind of day you're having, there's this great experience waiting for you to come home to. Newman and Redford in Butch Cassidy. Or DeNiro and Grodin in Midnight Run. How about Uma in Kill Bill One and Two!
Nobody at 191 Movies is a film critic. We simply watch movies and when we find ourselves watching them a lot of times, we figure that's good enough for us!
