the Thinking Chick’s Guide to Movies of All Genres

It’s a new decade but in addition to new movies, I’ll be trying to review more classics for you fellow Divine Movie Beings. Viggo Mortenson in a post-apocolyptic world sounds good and I am dying to see Daybreakers, but I’ll also go to the Wayback Machine and review lots of classics this year.

As always, I look forward to hearing any suggestions you may have, or how I can improve my site. I want it to be as awesome as it is spoiler-free.
