First Strike Reviews!

Hey all,

So one of my buddies took our drunken conversation to the next level, and actually followed through with plans made after many cocktails and launched First Strike Reviews: http://firststrikereviews.wordpress.com/.

Basically we were just talking about how crappy and tired most films these days are, and how you can figure out the entire film (and often the "crazy" plot twists) just by watching the trailer...thus first strike reviews were born. Movie reviews, without even seeing the film!

Here's the mission statement:

First and foremost, this is not a review blog in the traditional sense.
In a world where Hollywood seems content to start shooting sequels to movies that haven’t even premiered yet (or even finished principal photography on), it only seems fair to turn the tables on them and review their movies before they open. So everything contained herein will be presumed and extrapolated based solely on first impression of the media that the Hollywood hype machine has deemed fit for public consumption (and some it may not). NONE of these movies were or will be watched in their entirety during their review process.
Sincerely,
Montgomery Court


If anyone has any ideas for reviews, I'm sure that he would accept submissions!
 
He did a pretty great job with the first two actually, and it seems like he's spot on for Sucker Punch. With the loads of popcorn movies coming out this summer, should be lots of fodder.
 
Pretty good stuff. The reviews are pretty close, but a few things off here and there, like who Jake Gyllenhaal is in source code. He makes a lot of assumptions which aren't exactly true. Same with how it "ends."

I like this idea a lot. One suggestion would be, maybe it's a medium that would work better as a video blog/review. If he's good at expressing himself on camera the way he does in writing that is.
