Movies every other Weekend

Everything has a start!

Hello and welcome to the first post of Triviews!

As you all know the blog clearly has a really close relationship with the number three. Three guys talking about three subjects. To get things up and running in here, this post will be about the top three Movies in my opinion and how I see them.

Before talking about my top three movies, I will share my experience with you about actually going to the movies. A couple of years back, Kuwait had only one Cinema company which was Kuwait National Cinema Company and they were the only company in the Kuwaiti market that showed movies for a good 50 years!. After that Grand Cinemas joined the battle with KNCC over this market and created a very good competitive atmosphere, which lead to the customers having some really good deals from both companies!

How did it all start

It is time to talk about us now. My friends Khalid, Bader and I started going to the movies nearly every weekend or so since 2012. Being movie fanatics, after every movie we go to we sit down for hours discussing the movie itself and the impact it made on us. Sometimes we agree on the details and sometimes it is absolute chaos with at least two if not all three of us fighting with each other trying to prove a point!. After a very long time watching movies, analyzing them and fighting with each other we realized that a lot of what we were discussing are actually good points to share with other people. Of course it might not be a professional's opinion but it is still a very important opinion! Me and the boys have a ritual to do when we go to any movie so we created a list which we called "Do's and Don'ts for movies" and it goes like this.

Always pick the right seat!

Do's and Don'ts for Movies:

• Always go to a movie with at least two of your friends.
• The later the movies starts, the better experience you will have.
• Try as hard as you can to pick a seat with no one next to you.
• Always vote for what movie you will watch. "Unless you force them"
• Pepsi, popcorn and Nacho's are a must for ANY movie.
• Always have a backup plan in-case the movie was really bad and you decide to leave in the first 15 minutes.
• Prepare to wake up your friend if he falls asleep. "Happens a lot of times !"

My personal top three

Having a top three in any subject is very hard specially when there is a lot to choose from.

My first pick would go to a movie called Rain Man. Starring Dustin Hoffman, Tom cruise and Valeria Golino. Directed by Barry Levinson and produced by Mark Johnson. Rain Man is a very interesting movie. It provides many of facts on how media looks at autism and how they stereotype autistic people with having a savant skill.

My second pick would go to a movie called Toy Story. Starring Tom hanks and a lot of good actors with him. Directed by John Lasseter and produced by Ralph Guggenheim and Bonnie Arnold. Toy Story is by far one of my best childhood movies and it is the best Computer-animated movie of all time in terms of story and in terms of effect on children and adults.

My third and last pick would go to a movie called American Gangster. Starring Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington and many others. Directed by Ridley Scott and produced by also Ridley Scott and Brian Grazer. American Gangster talks about a very classic problem that the US still have which is gangsters. In this movie the story was told in a very smooth and easy way so that anyone that is watching the movie would understand how things were running back then. All cast were perfectly picked for this movie and in fact I think that without the selected people, the movie would have never made it.
