Scotty Newton - All Round Entertainer

          So it's been quite the year. Quite the year indeed. From celebrity deaths to crazy political shifts to me spending the last 8 weeks recovering from surgery, quality films have been needed more than ever to distract us average joes from the chaos of 2016.            Once again, I didn't get to see as many new movies as I would have liked (104 to be exact, 23 of them being rewatches, but who's counting?) but the year certainly has given us some incredible highs, like when we discovered just what was really going on in Arrvial , and some facepalm inducing lows, like TMNT 2 from start to finish.

Not Another Happy New Year Post: A Year in the Life of an All Round Entertainer Why am I posting now? Because it's a new year so it's a new me? Nope. I'm posting now because for the first time in about 3 years I've actually had more than a week off and I've had some recovering to do. Keep reading for what I've been up to, news on more movie analysis and reviews and a look to my plans for the new year. 2013. What a year it's been, where to start? I haven't posted since July and here's a quick summary of what I've been up to. Well first of all the big highlight of the year was graduating. I have my degree so now you HAVE to accept my movie reviews as gospel. They are correct, I have been endorsed. Nicolas Cage is a versatile and credible actor and Indiana Jones 4 is a good movie. I got my first job in the industry, which was a pretty big step. I started off as a runner in an animation company with literally no training ...
