My Observations on Movie Franchises Part One: Lessons Learned from Two Great Trilogies
As far as movies go, we are obviously living in an era of franchises. It seems that everything that has a following and is remotely profitable, could become one. From a profit point of view it makes total sense and honestly, although everything has it' s pros and cons, I rather like this trend. I like the whole world building that comes along with a franchise. I also like the fact that it enables filmmakers to use the full potential of what a certain fictional universe has to offer by being able to fully explore and open the characters and ideas that come along with it.

5 Movies That I Appreciate More Than Enjoy Watching
We can all relate to enjoying movies that objectively, we acknowledge to have some major flaws in them. But we just don't care about it because of the enjoyment - a guilty pleasure. But what if it is the other way around - You watch a movie that you appreciate immensely on an objective level, but just don't find it that enjoyable for you personally - not your cup of tea so to say.
