March 2016 Update

Posted on by John Hayeck

Hey Guys!

Long time no update…

So here is a brief overview of the past month and what to expect for the next month or two-ish.

You guys have really been liking the Youtube Reviews I’ve been doing and I’ve been trying to stay up-to-date with plenty of written posts too.  That’ll stay the format going forward, new reviews posted on Youtube (search “John Hayeck” or go to http://www.youtube.com/MyMovieThoughts) and they’ll also be posted here.

In addition to those, you guys have seemed to like my Editorials and Top 10’s, so I will try to crank out at least 2-3 of those each month going forward (either written or filmed).  And when time allows, the exclusively-written posts will stay as older movie reviews.

That being said, April is a pretty dead season for movies…  I’ll try to still see 4-5 new releases this month, but be sure to comment what older movies you guys would like to see from me in the next month and what your most anticipated movies for April are!

And as always, thanks for reading guys.

2016 My Movie Thoughts Awards!

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • Alright guys, so it is Awards Season in Hollywood!
  • The Oscar nominations came out a few days ago and they were alright.
  • There were definitely a few snubs (Aaron Sorkin for Screenwriter, Inside Out for Best Picture, Emily Blunt for Lead Actress), but I was pretty happy overall with the results.
  • I think the Academy is an extremely credible awards ceremony, it’s one of my favorite nights of the year, but sometimes they still miss even more movies on their nominations list.
  • So I decided to compile my own list of Best Picture, Director, Actor, and a couple other categories.
  • And just to beat the Oscars, I put in my 3 nominations and 1 winner all together. So basically you’ll see my pick for best, followed by 2 runner-ups.
  • These aren’t necessarily my favorites of the year, you can check out my Top 10 here though, but they are the talents I think should be recognized more than they should be! (So says my humble opinion…)
  • So here we are in the 1st Annual My Movie Thoughts Awards!

Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies 2016

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • Guys it is now 2016 on My Movie Thoughts!
  • And everywhere else…
  • And with a new year, we have a lot of new movies. 2016 has a lot of seemingly good ones coming out, so many that I couldn’t get them all on this list. (So honorable mentions go out to Finding Dory, The Jungle Book, Doctor Strange, and Now You See Me 2. You guys just missed the list!)
  • And I promise to see all the movies on the list this year.
    • Last year I skipped Chappie and Taken 3 cuz I heard they were horrible…
    • And Sea of Trees is having distribution problems I guess?
  • Anyways, that’s the preface, so let’s get on with this list!

September 2015 Update

Posted on by John Hayeck

Update

  • Hello everybody!
  • So every couple of months I’ll do one of these quick update posts for you all, just updating what will be happening on the site for the next 3 or 4 weeks.
  • So it is September now, meaning I’m back in school (sadly…), and I’m back to a probable 8 posts per month.
  • At least for September and October, most likely.
  • November and December have a TON of Oscar movies that could fill up my eyes (and hopefully yours) and then have a bunch of subsequent reviews.
  • But I do plan on checking out a good number of movies this month.
  • I promise to get to AT LEAST 5 of these:
    • The End of the Tour
    • Black Mass
    • Sicario
    • Sleeping With Other People
    • The Visit
    • Everest
    • The Scorch Trials
    • Captive
    • The Intern
  • I REALLY want to see all of these (except maybe The Scorch Trials…), but I’ll probably only get to 5 or 6 and I’ll do my best to see the rest of them before the end of the year!
  • Some of them may not be in suburban Massachusetts IMMEDIATELY when they release either, so be patient and I will get my thoughts to you guys within 24 hours of my viewings.
  • But there’s the update! Just expect slightly less posts for the next two months, and I will try to share my thoughts on any huge news, but you can expect a fair share of reviews here and there… And as always, thanks for reading guys.
