A 99-Cent Critique

I've always been a fan of critics and I've dreamed of finding my little niche in their realm. Perhaps it's the power, perhaps the unabashing honesty that you get to dish out, perhaps a need to give credit to all the good and bad in the world. Who knows. The fact is, I believe everyone has a bit of critic in them. It's all a matter of whether it remains an inward critique or whether you have the guts to put it into words.

I'm an avid fan of music, movies, art, great food. Add this to my fan for critiquing, and the fact that the economic world we now live in makes it hard to lavish in these areas, and you get the point of this blog.

I am here to critique the regular, realistic options available to those whose pockets are filled with mere coins and lint. I'll be honest, I would love to spend upwards of $8 on a movie which may or may not be worth even half that price. But, realistically, I need grocery money, like many of you do. Thus, I find myself hunting the 99 cent rack at the local movie rental, looking for a real gem.

My goal of this blog: find the hidden gems without breaking my checkbook. I'm here to be a critic to the movies, art, food, and music that economically realistic people can afford. So, if that means critiquing the 99 cent movies, a meal a la deal, etc., so be it. I'll be here offering my advice and my critique of the realistically affordable good and bad, hidden gems and those that should have stayed hidden.

Any suggestions or ideas are greatly welcomed.
