Episode IV - Hope This Works

Welcome to Got Me A Movie. I'm almost positive that the Internet doesn't have any sites dedicated to motion pictures. I seek to rectify this. Within this blog you will find previews of movies, reviews of movies and if I can keep my laptop cool enough, uploaded images from movies.



I think it's worth noting that I have absolutely no major connections within the industry, so you can rest assured that everthing you read here is utterly uninformed. That is my guarantee to you.







You stay classy.

Mikey's Musings: What makes an event movie?

Last week James Cameron's Avatar became the highest grossing film of all time passing James Cameron's Titanic. According to Boxofficemojo as of 30/01/10 it has earned $1,924,744,073 worldwide and it's still looking comfortable.



Cynics might attest this success to the release date, the lack of any huge competition and of course the substantial extra revenue brought in from the 3D priced tickets, but there is no denying that Avatar has become something of a phenomenon. A film that just keeps going and going topping the weekend box office week after week living off word of mouth and repeat business.

It's an event movie.
