My love of film propels this blog forward. Striving to avoid pretentious opinions of film, I am, naturally, skeptical about most of the products shoved down the throats of the 'mass' public. Thus, here is my realistic blog, asserting my opinions of various films. I try (although often unsuccessfully) to take into account both the educational and entertaining nature of films. They should be both, and often one over the other at certain times, depending one's mood at the moment. And so I set out to watch more films than I should, banish my naturally pessimistic view of the world, and remain as objective as possible while still retaining high expectations of the industry, standards that mostly leave me disappointed, discouraged, and disgusted. And of course, all reviews are subjective, so tell me what you think of my opinions, I am intrigued by your review of my perspective.
So this is my disclaimer. I always want more, and I feel that is never asking too much.

Why?
My love of film propels this blog forward. I have very high expectations of film and I realize that expectations greatly inform the final opinion- so here I try to outline my own expectation before the review. My expectations are not only high but also suspect. I am, naturally, skeptical about most of the products shoved down the throats of the 'mass' public, the Hollywood blockbuster, the new chic indy film, the offensive chick flick, the boring documentary, etc. I am attuned to the formulas and very aware of the industry's bottom line. But of course, there are exceptions that can sometimes be brilliant! Thus, here is where I assert my opinions of the various films that I watch. I try (although often unsuccessfully) to take into account both the educational and entertaining nature of films. They should be both, and often one over the other at certain times, depending on various factors, including mood.

About Me
- Crystal
- I am Crystal, a name which often implies clarity, transparency, and light. Based in Ancient Greek, my name comes from a term, krustallos, which means congealed through freezing. Interestingly, crystals are formed through a process of crystallization, where liquids become ice; this requires a good amount of freezing. However, I am not as simple as that. My world is no where near transparent or clear. It is hazy, dark, cold, hard, and yes, incredibly blurry.
