Why I call them “moving reviews”
Bringing to you touching movie reviews nay moving reviews that comes straight from the bottom of the heart of a genuine movie lover; Straight From a Movie is much more than what it appears to be. Originally started as a movie quotes website, SFAM has been able to gradually expand its wings towards movie reviews and aftermath explanatory discussions.
The primal intent is to cover up movies as they come on the big screen, and shower peerless love for all the good ones on them dry pages. At the same time, if something leaves a sour taste, not to hold back from decimating it. Yeah! I know it sucks but a man’s gotta do, what he’s gotta do.
Moving Reviews
So why call movie reviews, moving reviews? Now that question makes me nostalgic. My love for movies dates back to that instant etched in time wherein I recall being flabbergasted beyond limit by the sheer concept of movie.My first movie Jurassic Park was what created that ounce of amazement that I am yet to put a name to. I was barely 5 when I had seen the movie, and it brought into action those dead sleeping cells of awe. Then there was no stopping me. And I am an unstoppable force hitherto. My sense of wonderment arises from genuine heartfelt emotions that makes me live every movie as if it’s a life of its own.
