Welcome to Only Good Movies

By Shane Rivers

Welcome to Only Good Movies. We’re happy to be your source for all kinds of movie articles, as well as a movie forum and movie blog. We update the site weekly with original content, and we work like the dickens to ensure that it’s of the highest quality. My name is Shane Rivers, and anything you read on this site was probably written by yours truly. Based in the northern part of Texas, I have a degree in Radio/TV/Film and a burning passion for all sorts of good movies (I even like some of the bad ones, too). In addition to my content here at OGM, you can also read my thoughts on the latest new releases over at our sister site, A1 Movie Reviews.

Just take a look at all we have to offer:

Feature Articles

Each week, I write a feature article. In most cases, these are somehow tied to one of the films being released nationally that week. For example, when Obsessed hit theaters, I unveiled my list of the “Top 10 Movie Catfights.” Orphan prompted “15 Creepiest Movie Kids.” You get the idea.

Only Good Movies Blog

Everyone has a blog these days, and we here at OGM are no exception. We feel it enables fans of good movies to come together, have a laugh or two, and maybe even learn a few things. And if you’ve got an opinion, you can always share it via the comments section under each blog post. The following are some of the blog categories we’ve either offered in the past or will be offering in the future:

  • Good Movies Lists – Whether it’s “Good Australian Movies” or “Good Horror Movies,” these articles will provide recommendations on a variety of film genres.
  • Badass Movie Posters – The focus of these posts are on movie posters which transcend mere advertisements and become works of art. And just for variety, we also throw in those which are particularly cheesy or bizarre.
  • Interesting Movie Facts – I do a lot of research on movies, and this allows me to come across all manner of strange and interesting movie facts. You’ll find them collected in these posts.
  • Box Office Results – What was the top movie for the past weekend? Find out here.
  • Celebrity Deaths – When someone in the movie business passes away, you can check here to read about their life and contributions to film.
  • Celebrity Jerk of the Week – Has a celebrity really made an ass out of themselves during the week? We’ll honor them in one of these posts.
  • Future Stars – We shine a spotlight on those whose careers are looking especially bright.
  • Film Festivals – News and information from film festivals around the planet.
  • Movie Babes – Pictures and profiles of some of the loveliest ladies currently at work in Hollywood and abroad.
  • Movie Critic Interviews – A 12-question interview with various Internet movie critics. The questions are always the same, so you can compare and contrast their answers with other experts in the field.
  • General Public Interviews – More interviews on film, but this time with members of the general public. If you’ve ever wondered what a guy who runs a fishing blog thinks about the art of film, then this is the place to go.
  • Movie Megalists – Massive top 100 lists tailored to various movie genres. In most cases, each article also contains a staggering amount of links to related blogs.
  • Movie News – If it’s something a movie fan needs to know about, we’ll post it here.

  • Thoughts on Film – A catch-all section where I share my thoughts and opinions on various good movies.

Movie Forum

In addition to our blog and articles about good movies, OGM also feature a movie forum for your enjoyment. We wage a non-stop battle to keep out spammers and trolls, so you can be confident that your forum experience will be a pleasant one. Just take a look at out current forum categories.

  • Coming Soon – If it’s yet to open in theaters, you’ll find it here.
  • In Theaters – Dedicated to movies which are currently showing somewhere in the world.
  • On DVD – If a film has been released on DVD or Blu-ray disc, this is the place to discuss it.
  • Classics – A place to discuss great movies which are a bit older.
  • Actors and Actresses – Whether you’re looking for news or gossip about your fave actor, this section is the place to go.
  • Directors – Read or post about the activities of your favorite director.
  • Hollywood Stock Exchange – This fantasy site allows you to buy and sell stocks for your favorite actor, director, or movie. You can come here to brag about your recent triumph or complain about your recent failure.
  • TV – If it’s on the boob tube, discuss it here.
  • Music – Talk about what you like or dislike at the moment, or wax nostalgic about the days when music was really good. All genres of music are open to discussion.
  • Books – Whether it’s a novel, short story, or magazine, come to this category to discuss works of the written word.
  • Anything Else – The section reserved for any topic which doesn’t neatly fit into one of the above.

Online DVD Rentals

In a few years, the traditional video store may very well go the way of the dodo. The future? Online DVD and Blu-ray rental services. I’m talking companies like Netflix and Blockbuster Online, not to mention some of the newcomers like Redbox and iReel. In this section of OGM, we take an in-depth look at each individual service. We’ll list the advantages and disadvantages, pricing plans, available library of films, and much more. If you’re even thinking about joining an online movie rental service, check our articles first.

Hall of Fame

We’re planning on starting our own Hall of Fame in the near future. Each month, we’ll add a new inductee to the HOF in the following categories: Actor, Actress, Director, Movie, and Character Actor. Inductees will be determined either by fan voting or myself (if the fans prove too damn lazy to send in an email). If you want to see the best of the best in the world of cinema, all you’ll have to do is check out our humble little Hall of Fame.

Movie Interviews

While it won’t be easy, one of our goals is to eventually include a number of interviews with various professionals in the field of movies. Even if we can’t get the likes of Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington to speak with us, I can guarantee that our interviews will still be filled with all sorts of interesting information from the world of filmmaking. In fact, we may just bypass the big acting guns altogether and offer more unique content like interviews with character actors, scream queens and movie extras.

Newsletter

In the very near future, OGM will be offering its very own newsletter. Sent out weekly via email, it’s the perfect way to be updated on all the cinematic goodness we’ve added to the site. Signing up is free and easy, so there’s no reason not to take advantage.
