Hello, my name is Jericho, and I’m simply a guy who is obsessed with films and music. I’m not a critic in the traditional sense, meaning I have absolutely no credentials in this area beyond my passion for writing and love of the arts. I have a B.A. in English, and have written various short stories as well as a novella that I will hopefully be putting out soon. I started this blog/site simply as an outlet for my opinions, as well as to hopefully create an online community of fellow music and movie obsessives. The standard rating system (1 out of 4 stars for movies, 1 out of 10 for music), may seem somewhat irrelevant since the reviews are essentially opinion-based, but it’s just my way of expressing how I feel about the subject at the current time. I welcome comments, opinions, disagreements, really anything that gets people talking about this stuff. Feel free to message me with bands or movies to check out, or even suggestions about what I should get into. Thanks and enjoy!
CABIN IN THE WOODS
3 stars out of 4
There will always be a solid argument between those who crave all the latest information regarding a film and diehard cinephiles going into a theater completely cold. It’s not that one method is better than the other, or more preferable, per se. Honestly, it’s next to impossible to know virtually nothing about a movie these days, what with online marketing and the incessant buzz of the blogosphere, but this doesn’t always hold true when it comes to indie films. Certain movies, though, are tailor-made specifically to this second group of people; ones that shun spoilerish advance reviews and the endless stream of Internet chatter. Certain movies demand to be seen through virgin eyes at a time where nearly every single plot point is telegraphed in studio-approved trailers, which all leads to this new movie called Cabin in The Woods.
