“It’s not a tumor!” I’m just back.


Kindergarten Cop Not a tumor

“It’s not a tumor!”  I’m just back.

I returned from my journey a few days ago and I am finally getting back into the swing of things.  I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

My goal is to be posting at least one thing per day.  But, I’m not going to limit myself, so there should definitely be days with multiple posts for your enjoyment.

I was gone for about a week and a half and I was pleasantly surprised to return to more than twice my total views on my website from the previous 6 months.

Thank you again for all of your support!  Happy movie watching!

I’ll be Back!


I will be absent from this website for about a week and a half.  Although I will miss writing tremendously, I will be off on a great adventure into the unknown and also familiar.

I will return after Father’s Day.  When I return, I will return with a vengeance.  Don’t go away.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my readers, all of my followers, and everyone who comments on my website.  I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to read what I have written.  Thank you for clicking on the little “Follow” button, the “Like” button, and the “rating” button.  I always love reading what people have to say about what I write, and I have always done my best to respond to each and every comment in a timely manner.  I enjoy any and all feedback.  I hope that you will keep coming back for more.  Thank you for all of your support!

When I first started writing for this website, I would just post things here and there.  I didn’t really start getting into it until after about 3 months.  I would procrastinate and get too lazy to write anything.  A few times I went weeks without writing a thing.  Then I noticed that people started reading what I had written, and this made me want to write more.

You have all been my motivation.  You have all kept me constantly thinking about what to write and wishing I could somehow figure out a way to dedicate all of my time to writing.  I would write about movies all day if given the chance.  But, of course, that is not possible because I still have to pay the bills.  If I could somehow make it work though, that would truly be living the dream.

I always feel like I have so much more to write about.  This month I have tried to post at least one thing each day.  So far, I have only missed 4 days.  For me, that is pretty good.  It’s a start.  I don’t always have much time to post a whole review, so I might just post an upcoming preview and write about it.  It has now just become me writing about anything having to do with my obsession with movies.  Movies are what I do.

I have so many more reviews waiting to be written.  I have not been able to keep up writing a review on each movie that I watch.  However, I have been able to keep up on writing reviews on the new movies that I see in theatres.

I spend a lot of time critiquing what I write because I want it to be at least somewhat entertaining.  I don’t want to just say that I watched a movie, it was good, go watch it, and here’s my rating.  I try to give you something worth reading, but I don’t want you to get halfway through reading one of my reviews and think that I am too longwinded.  I try to be quick and to the point.  There is nothing worse than someone who goes on and on to the point of boring their readers.  I hope that my writing is at least somewhat readable.

Yesterday I had the highest amount of views on my website in one day (424) and I surpassed 10,000 total views on the same day.  (I am currently at 10,110 total views.)  I am proud of this progress and I thank you for it.

I started this website on November 29th 2012, so it has been just a few days shy of 6 months.  I don’t know what the future will bring, but hopefully I will be there writing about movies.  Most of all, I hope that you will be there to read what I have written.

Now I will leave you with pictures from movies that I was thinking about while writing this.  Can you name each of the movies pictured?  Have you seen them all?

To all of my awesome readers,

Thank you for visiting and checking out my website.  I appreciate all of your continued support.  Thank you for reading and thank you for commenting.

I have really enjoyed writing about what I love.  You are all my motivation to continue writing and adding to this site.  I always wish that I had more time to add more posts.  13movies has now become www.brockingmovies.com.  Now that I have changed my domain name, I am hoping that will motivate me to write more.  Now the site will be a little be easier to find.

I welcome any input or constructive criticism.  Comments are always appreciated, of course : )  Thanks for following.

Thank you for being here.  I hope you will return.

Very Sincerely,

Staycation All I Ever Wanted…


To reference the classic Bill Murray movie What About Bob? (1991), I have recently taken a vacation from my problems.  I did not actually take a vacation, but I have done a whole lot of nothing recently every chance that I have gotten.  I’ve continued to work and do the standard necessary chores, but I have basically done the bare minimum and just tried to relax and recharge my batteries.

In the process of taking my mini “staycation” I have watched a number of movies and TV shows.  I obviously have not written anything about them, but I plan to remedy that soon.

what about bob bus

I have been very lazy, but I will get back on track soon and have some more reviews for you to read in the near future.  If only I could get a job that would allow me more time to write.  Baby steps…

what about bob baby steps

Thank you all for your continued support.  You have been a great motivator and have kept this fun for me.  Hopefully I can give you something fun to read soon.

More to come


It is going to be a busy weekend, but more reviews will be coming soon.  There are plenty more where that came from.

Coming Soon


I am familiarizing myself with how to set up this blog.  Once it is set up to my liking, my goal is to start adding a movie review for each movie that I watch from now on.  I will eventually go back and review movies that I have already seen, one by one.

Hopefully my reviews will help you decide if a movie is worth seeing or skipping.  Maybe a movie is not worth your money to see it in the theatre, but maybe worth waiting until the movie is available on DVD, or Blu-ray, or streaming, or whatever format you enjoy viewing at home.

If you would like a movie recommendation, feel free to comment and I will try to respond in a timely manner.  I love to recommend movies, but it is easier to do if I know what types of movies you like in the first place.

Everybody has their own tastes in movies and I don’t pretend to think that if I like it, then you will too.  But, if I get a feel for what movies you do like, then I am usually pretty good at recommending other movies that you might like also.  This is true even if I do not personally like the movies that I am recommending.
