Welcome to my site

So I started this blog because I wanted to warn all my friends about all the bad movies out there in Hollywood right now. Sure, there are thousands of movie review web sites out there, but how many tell you if the movie made them actually fall asleep or not? I'm guessing none hopefully.

Anyhow, I started watching movies when I was back in high school. My buddy Eric and I used to watch every new movie on Fridays after school. The very first movie that I fell asleep in was probably Barbed Wire with Pamela Anderson. Oh man, that was bad. Throughout the years, I consistently fell asleep in more and more movies. That could have been because I got less sleep over the years, but I'm going to blame it on the increasing number of bad movies.

One memorable movie that I fell asleep in was X-Men 2 (or it could have been 1). I was in my early 20's. My friends and I decided to do dinner and a movie on a Friday night after work. I must have zonked out mid way through the movie and had no clue as to what happened after that. That's when I realized going to watch a movie on a Friday night was a bad idea.

Another memorable snoozfest - Tomb Raider 2. My friends and I decided to go watch it on a Sunday night in one of those dollar movie theatres. Fell asleep 15 minutes into the movie and never woke up. Sorry Angelina. Another lesson learned - don't watch movies in dollar theatres. Let's see what else -- all 3 of the LoTR movies (but only for 15 minutes...I hope), the first 2 Harry Potter movies, all 3 Pirates movies, etc etc.

I've gotten to the point in my life where I've practically given up on watching movies at the theatres. Why pay $10 for a nap, you know? Now I get the enjoyment of falling asleep on my couch. That could be a big reason why I keep falling asleep -my couch is too comfortable. I also used to watch movies in pitch dark - verrrry bad idea. I'd zonk out before the 30 minute mark. I read on a forum that if you put a light behind the TV to add some ambient light, then it makes your eyes less drowsy and reduces your chance of falling asleep. I think I got through 1 movie before that idea failed. Let'e see....I've noticed that watching movies in the afternoon is better than watching them at night. However, you don't get the "theatre" darkness in the afternoon, so I try to save the "blockbuster" movies for nighttime and the chick-flicks during the afternoons. Ironically, it's the "blockbuster" movies that are make me fall asleep the most BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BAD. Anyway, this blog isn't about how we can solve my sleeping problem. It's about giving you paragraph reviews of all these horrible movies!
