The reviews here will reflect how I respond to movies, TV and books. I look for the humanity in these things, the way the characters display what is beautiful and what is ugly in being human.
I like an interesting story and I'll comment on the plot and to a lesser extent the other technical details such as framing, effects, lighting and the like, but I have limited to no real knowledge of what is good or bad. I'll probably have more to say about word choices and construction in books and stories.
I'll often put in context of my experiences and those include my Zen practice. And the point of the review will never be a judgement, good or bad, just how I respond to it.
I think this is an interesting approach not because I'm an interesting person and I think anyone reading this should be interested in me and my reactions. I think as I try to find the story of what it is to be human in the things I review the best way is to explore how the stories, music, films, touch my humanity and maybe that will show you how these things might also touch yours.
I'll also post a poem, mostly haiku, at least once a week.
Next post will be my first subject choice. A film or a TV show rewatch most likely.
