The Critic - Avid movie watcher and wanna be professional athlete. I really don't love one genre of film more than another, but I'm a sucker for indies. There's something great in the way these independent directors could do so much with such a small budget. It usually brings the best out of actors also. Another genre I'm a fan of is the Biography. Few of my favorite movies are The Doors, Stand by me, and a new addition to my all time list is The Assassination of Jesse James... As for the TV side of it, Im a huge fan of Lost and the recently departed "The Wire". I'll also pretty much give any new show a chance, but with the networks cancelling everything nowadays, that gets harder.
Panopticon - Also avid movie watcher, wanna be 1960's beat poet and college professor. He also is a big fan of a wide range of film and tv genres and sometimes doesn't give some of The Critics suggestions the light of day, but he's becoming more of a well rounded tv and movie viewer and being the English major will probably be able to write a lot better then I. Some of his favorites include Magnolia, Forrest Gump, and his new addition, There Will Be Blood. He's also a huge Lost fan and watched The Wire in a matter of 2 days, i think he stayed up in his room for 48 hours with no food or water before finally finishing it.
As for what we will be writing about:
- Reviewing new and old movies alike and giving them our guilty, not guilty or hung jury verdict
- Guilty is much the same as two thumbs up, Not guilty means stay away and hung jury is sort of like one thumb up.
- We'll also do periodical episode recaps for some shows like Lost, Dexter, etc...
- From time to time we'll add new features like a current top ten, all time top ten, discuss some actors and actresses.
- Pretty much anything film and tv wise you could think of we'll try to incorporate.
- The main thing is that we're flexible and definitely open to suggestions.
- Feel free to add in the comments anything you'd like to be seen on this blog.
- Most of all we love movie suggestions and we will do our best to review as quick as possible.
- Hope we don't bore anyone to death.
Thanks

just my two cents, but shouldn't the "guilty", "not guilty" thing be switched around. The way i see it, if the movie presented to the Judges really sucks, then it should be Guilty of the crime of being really crappy..... and if it's pretty good, then it should be acquitted of all crimes thus giving us the green light to go see.
Could you please explain your handle of "panopticon?"
I agree with anonymous in that it is slightly confusing, but, and I know this is hard to do, i want to try to distance guilty from having a negative connotation (simply for the sake of the site alone). For me, it makes more sense saying guilty (almost like a guilty pleasure). Obviously in real life, not guilty is great, but in the context of a review, when i think about it, not guilty seems like Im trying to say you should "not" see the movie. I know this was a convuluted answer that might not have made sense, but lets go with it and Ill see what other kind of feedback i get.
Where is the review of The Zohan?
