Right off the bat

So I guess this is the obligatory first post, and the requisite explanation of what the hell I plan on doing here.

So we all know the saying that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But why the hell not? So that's exactly what I'll be doing here... just with movies.

Each week (read: whenever the hell I feel like it), I'll be writing up a short review of a movie, based solely on seeing its trailer. Maybe if I get ambitious, I'll move onto actually reviewing books by their covers too. But probably not.

Anyway, stop reading this post and go check out my first review, of the Academy Award-winning opus, Commando.
