Opening Ceremony

Hello everyone, the name's Mitch. I know what you may be thinking: Why on earth do I deserve my own film festival?

I don't.

I would like to consider myself a film buff. However, that would be stretching the truth somewhat. While I do enjoy film greatly, I do not feel I have a background to truly qualify calling myself a "buff."

But that's why I started this blog. Last summer, I decided that I was going to catch up. I haven't exactly been racing through my backlog of movies I have yet to see, but I'm working my way through, and I'm going to use this blog to keep me going. This blog will be my tool to keep myself steadily moving through my backlog of movies both new and old. I will post reviews whenever I get around to them, but try to keep a somewhat steady schedule. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, then I am always open to new ideas for what to see. I only hope that someone will read this and find the slightest bit of enjoyment in doing so.

Before I begin, I would like to again stress that I don't consider myself to be all that fluent in film. If you are looking for a top-notch source of movie reviews and discussion, I would like to direct you to Filmspotting, a weekly movie podcast that is perhaps one of the better podcasts out there.

But nonetheless, welcome to Mitch's Film Festival!
