Ahh it's June Flashback time. And once upon a time I thought it might be a good idea to try my hand...as a movie reviewer.
You know in the quest to be a highly paid movie reviewer who can make or break a film with just a flexing of their wit, I could spend hours pouring over the source material provided by studios, study up on the Internet Movie Database and throw in words such as 'Elegantly erotic', 'Juxtaposition transfiguration metaphor' and 'avoid like the plague.'

Or because I'm not the above, I
could just give you a sentence or two about 5 movies and in 5 minutes you can
hightail it to the rental place. Plus I'll throw in a drink suggestion.
Yeah lets do that.
