Movie-Thoughts.com is dedicated to providing content related to the medium of film that appeals to intellectuals, buffs, and the everyman alike. We recognize film as an artistic medium that is capable of great intricacy as well as ingenious simplicity, but we also recognize the movies as a place of escapist entertainment. Film is capable of a variety of functions, not all of which any one film can satisfy entirely, and so the judgments we make try to account for each film’s attempted function as well as actual function. For us, personal taste is held in little regard. For you the reader, that means we try to provide the most unprejudiced criticism available.

In saying this, what we really try to aim for is fair criticism, as well as commentary. Commentary allows for our writers’ personalities and character to show through, however such character shall not overpower rationality. By this we mean that while commentary provides an opportunity to express opinions, those opinions will always be supported with rational and intelligent thought (only a few of our segments allow for exceptional leniency, e.g. our “What if…” segments). This allowance of opinion is critical to all criticism, and so to deny its presence is to be naïve. However, and particularly with our “Deep Thoughts” segments, we try to explore the reasoning behind those opinions which are so inescapable.

What this website is meant for is to be a place where films and film-related issues are given more than just fleeting attention – whether positive or negative – but considerable thought, contemplation, and deliberation. Not every film can be given such concentration, nor does every film deserve it. But we shall do our best to acknowledge those films which are of significance – for better or worse – today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
