All design and text content of A.J.'s Place: Movies & More (C) 2000-2008 by A.J. Vestal
Most current movie poster images on this site are presented in cooperation with AllPosters.com, a great resource for posters and art prints of all kinds.
Other images used are size-reduced versions of those found on official sites.  Images are used only to enhance the visual presentation of information and to promote films and websites.
Requests for image removal may be e-mailed to ajsplacemovies@comcast.net.  A.J.'s Place  is based in Marin County, California USA
A.J.'s Declaration of Principles
  
1)  I only review movies that I want to see.  This means that you can expect this site to
    be heavy on comedy, action, thriller, and science-fiction films, but light on anything
    starring Julia Roberts or Leonardo DiCaprio. (Actually, I try to see a little of everything, so
    don't be surprised if the occasional foreign or art-film sneaks its way in amongst the
    latest Hollywood blockbusters.)
    
2)  When I watch a film, I start out wanting to like it.  Unlike most movie reviewers, I
    really don't want to find fault with every movie I see. 
     
3)  I review movies for what they are. In other words, all films have an even chance for a
   good rating.  Whether it's a poignant drama, slapstick farce, or mindless thrill-ride, the
   most important factor is always my own personal enjoyment of the film.  Remember,
   everything at A.J.'s Place is based on personal opinion. Your own opinions may differ!  I
   would love to hear from all those Battlefield Earth fans out there, so e-mail me today!
           
4)  I will never let another review influence my own. I never read reviews of a film
    before writing my own.  To anyone who writes for enjoyment, my advice is to always
    strive to be as original as possible. The writing experience will be that much more
    rewarding if you do.

5)  I will never reveal more plot than necessary. I figure if I tell you the entire plot of a
    movie, you'll have no reason to see it, so I'll try to not to give away much more than you
    would get from watching the trailer.  I will never 'spoil' a film, as so many reviewers are
    prone to do.
   
6)  If I hate a film, I'll still review it here.   Even though this is just a hobby, and I'd much
    rather spend my time writing about films that I like, when I see a turkey, I feel an
    obligation to rant about it!  Warning: Bad reviews are usually heavy on sarcasm.  If I
    didn't have fun watching the film, I'm darn well going to have fun writing the
    review!
   
7)  I will never review a film I haven't seen.  Believe it or not, there are people out there
    who give their (usually extreme) opinions on films they have not even seen!
   
8)  This will be a fun site.  My primary goal is for this site to be both informative and
    entertaining.  To those who lack a sense of humor, consider this your final warning.
   
9)  I meant what I said earlier about Julia Roberts.
    Leonardo, too!
I promise that I shall do my best to uphold the above principles and provide you, the internet surfing movie fan, with the most useful and current information available.  Unless, of course, I've got something better to do.  Then, all bets are off!
