Eyes from the Audience

Movies aren’t just anything to me. Good films are timeless unlike those badly written and played out songs that you hear on the radio nowadays that sound so good until suddenly they lose their pure significance and magic in the matter of a few short months. Movies are sometimes despicable and yet noteworthy, hilarious but depressing and some are downright sadistic. Even with all the unnecessary excess baggage to a plot, these films are still somewhat pleasurable to watch even if that is just for a single moment in time.
Actions films are a different type of genre that I have fallen so ridiculously comfortable with watching over the past decade. Who doesn’t get chills from an overly dramatic explosion in the background just as a very attractive protagonist comes into play covered in corn syrupy blood and pseudo sweat? How can you resist falling in love with the hero in the end and hating the villain from the very beginning… well with the minor exception of the Joker from the Dark Knight--- he was simply fantastic!
I’ve been a movie whore for years. I continued to lurk through Netflix and search through movie themed websites for anything that can give me the essential buzz and satisfaction from seeing a great film in action. (Pun intended). I am not here to tell you what I think a good action film entails or how many attractive people can be cast in a movie without it being too unrealistic or even why those perfect one liners gives me sharp tingles. No, I am here to give you a fresh perspective from a females eyes who not only accepts action films as they are but respects the good and even the terrible movies as a whole. Movies are everything to me.
