Introduction

 My name is Holly H. and I've always loved movies. Ever since I was a child I would just watch movie after movie after movie with such insatiable hunger. I was inhaling the films. They were my bread and butter or better yet pb&j. As I grew up my passion changed, morphed and faded but has recently come back with full force. I can't help but feel a compulsion to watch films I hear about. Some people can't watch a movie every day. They don't have the patience or the drive. I'm lucky because I have extreme laziness on my side.

I would call myself a movie buff but I don't think am as juiced up as I should be. So this blog is a declaration of my dedication to committing to watching over 250+ films and along my way hopefully giving you some insight as to whether or not you should rent, buy,download, or stream such movies. As a guide through the perils of picking such movies I have gone to a favorite site of mine and found a list of 250 movies that are the highest rated by the users of the website. IMDB's top 250

The internet movie database will be a point of reference as it holds nearly all important information involving movies and nearly all new release information such as premier trailers and photo ops. It also holds rare trivia and factoids involving such films. If you have never used this site before I incline you to take a look and prepare to fall in love. 

I will take reccommendations and try to fufill them. A lot of big heavy hitters you'll be expecting me to review I've already seen and have had time to make my own biases and be influenced by others so I probably won't review them. This is about seeing things and discovering them for the first time. For the MovieHoova hungers for new blood not hott blood clotty messes. 

I will try my darndest NOT to spoil anything so this is going to be a tricky blog.  Come with me on my journey to finally feel full.........on movies.
