Category: Movies

This category is used for movies from the West which means they cover movies from the US, Canada, the UK, and other European countries, plus Australia and New Zealand. We are only interested in movies done in the English Language. We are yet to review a single movie from Asia. There are Indian and Hong Kong films in English. We do not just have the kind of resources to cover them all so there is no reason starting what we cannot finish. If we ever cover Asian movies it will be a minority endeavor so we will give it a category of itself so as not to let it get lost in the vastness of “Movie”. So far, it is only Western movies that are covered here. We also have an entry for Netflix movies but we still allow Netflix movies here as well. Which means this category covers theatrical, streaming, and TV movies. The few Nigerian movies we have published are under the entry of Nollywood.
