Movie ?'s

Honestly, it's difficult to decide on a favorite movie. Extremely difficult, in fact. If I had to choose, though, I would have to go with The Shawshank Redemption. The storytelling and narration in this movie is absolutely incredible. It's one of the few examples where the movie is better than the book. It is executed so well, and Morgan Freeman was the perfect actor to fill the role of Red. Doubling as a character and a narrator is right up his alley, and he does it flawlessly in this film.
I really just don’t care for the entire series of Twilight films. Maybe that’s just me being a guy, but it takes a lot for me to get through them. Another type of film that I share similar feelings for is adaptations of books that are unbelievably inaccurate.
I watch movies often. Most of the time, it’s on Netflix, but sometimes I do go to the theater with friends.
I don’t need much for movie viewing. I just need a comfortable seat and a beverage. Lighting doesn’t really matter to me. 
If my life story was made into a movie, it would be a pretty boring movie. I haven't done many extravagant things or been to great places. I have no idea what genre it would be, probably comedy.

  1. Morgan Freeman has such a distinct voice and is the quintessential narrator. I love that film and his role in it. I saw a funny clip of impersonator Frank Caliendo reading LeBron James' speak about returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Freeman's dramatic voice. It made me laugh.
