We Love Movies
|
Flicks With Friends aims to bring you insightful and fun film and entertainment commentary without the nerd rage (mostly) prevalent on most sites nowadays.
Hosted by filmmaker and podcaster Shaun Collins (a veteran of over 25 years of jockeying a video store counter) each episode brings a new topic and a rotating group of friends to the couch to discuss. We also offer up our opinions on the latest movies with our spoiler free, two (ish) minute movie reviews. |

November 2019
We just posted our 1000th review! Click HERE to see them all!
October 2019
Text, audio, and video reviews continue to be added to our Letterboxd page, as of this writing we are nearing 1000 entries with so many more to come. Also on that page are all of our archived reviews (they still exist if you were confused or concerned) that were bogging down the works here. We have added an "archive review" tab to make locating them easier.
Horror movies continue to show up as well with our #CountdownToHalloween.
As always, thanks for your continued support!

September 2019
Well movie lovers, it's happened. The sheer weight of the embedded videos on our Review page was lagging the site down to the point of unusability, so we have removed "archived" reviews from these pages. You can still find those reviews, (and more) on our Letterboxd page.
We are looking at alternatives for showcasing the videos here. We may go to a list/link format, or we may just put the newest reviews on this page and direct you all to Letterboxd for the rest.
It's still being debated.
Speaking of Letterboxd, we are over 700 reviews loaded onto that site now, (text, video and audio) with more to come.

You may notice a few more horror movies cropping into the reviews over the next two months. While I am not a big fan of the genre, we do tend to try and watch them during the Halloween season, and because there are so many I haven't seen, its becomes an opportunity to be seasonal AND cross a bunch off the list.
August 2019
New episode up on the feeds, and despite being six months late, it's also very timely, as we discuss QT's Pulp Fiction.
Celebrating our 600th review being loaded into our Letterboxd profile page this week, with more to come!

April 2019
Busy, busy, busy.
We continue to load more of our older reviews onto our Letterboxd profile page. Shaun used to write for a few movie review sites back in the day (this was 'round '99-2000) and we have print copies of all of those text reviews. We're working on scanning them into a digital format and uploading them to Letterboxd, but obviously it's slow going. :)
And of course, we continue to add Retro Reviews as selected by YOU, our Patreon supporters, and new reviews as we can get out to the theatre thanks to our AMC A-List membership. There's even the occasional blog post.
We also (finally) finished editing and uploaded our Top Ten (Fifteen) List for 2018.

Our Current Obsession
|
Thanks to Friend of Flicks Rick Zinn for turning us on to Letterboxd, a great fun site that's just like Goodreads, only for movies. You can create a profile, select movies you've seen, rate them, rank them, review them, create lists and share with friends and other members of the community.
We've fallen down this particular rabbit hole hard, and are building our awesome profile as you read this. But by all means, don't take our word for it, click here and go check it out for yourself! |

"State of the Union"
Our Mission Statement
|
It's very much envogue right now to hate things we love. Star Wars, DC, Disney. You can almost tell how big a fan of something someone is by how much venom they spit all over it. Don't get us wrong, some of it--okay, maybe a lot of it--is very much deserved.
But we wanted to focus on the good. We want to talk about movies because we love movies. Life is too short to hate everything, so lets focus on the great stuff we do have. |
How We Started |
All Are Welcome |
|
Everybody has that group of friends that you hang out with and talk movies with and then you get up to leave and somebody asks something and you stand around and discuss that for another two hours right? We we basically thought it would be cool to record those conversations.
|
We might put on a good show of being elitist, (oh, who are we kidding? We are.) But all are welcome here. And your feedback is always welcome, whether you agree with us or don't. Please feel free to contact our ever growing list of contributors directly or through the contact page here to voice your thoughts!
