Welcome… To JDunn Movies.
My name is Jared Dunn, and I, first and foremost, am a lover
of movies. That being said, this blog shall be a place where I will review newer movies, in hopes that I can steer you all towards finding a new favorite.
Throughout my life I have indulged and dreamt of various
avenues in life, from wanting to be a chef, to zoology, even at one point
wanting to be a teacher. In the end, it always points back to movies.
This, like most stories, point back to my childhood. Hardly
three feet tall, little Jared sat down in front of a screen, only to be
mesmerized by one of my favorite movies, to this date…
It was at this time that I began to idolize the silver
screen, and the various stories that continued to draw me into their various
universes. The immersion into these visual tales gave me a new outlook on life,
shaping me into a different person with each new story under my belt.
As a child I wanted to be a paleontologist not because I
loved dinosaurs (Though I absolutely did), but because I’d seen the riveting story
of Dr. Grant escaping the onslaught of dinosaurs within the park.
I wanted to be a zoologist because of documentaries I
experienced.
I’ve even mulled the idea of being an astronaut from time to
time. Fortunately, I can always refer
back to Alien after the next space
odyssey I watch.
Fortunately for me, everything has begun to come full cycle,
and I have shaped my pathway towards what I truly love. You may have guessed
it. Movies.
Rather than the excitement of dinosaurs and space, I have stepped a foot into the safe world of movies, having worked in places such as movie
theaters and rental stores, I now strive to help introduce people to the
wonderment of movies.
Using the English major I am working towards, with all my
might, I hope to not only review movies, which is the aim of this blog, but I’d
like to, someday, write a movie of my own. My dream is to immerse people into a new world
of my own creation, and give them a taste of a world beyond their own.
So join me in the world of movies as I give you a nudge
toward a movie you may not think you’d like, or are just not sure about. You
may be surprised by the gems that are waiting for you.
