About Gummi Popcorn

Gummi Popcorn began in July of 2006 under the title Neko Goes To The Movies. In just the first year of publication, the website had over 50 reviews posted. While the majority of reviews cover horror and independent films, the site’s focus is limited only by the length of the feature, rather than the genre. Television programs, music videos and other media on DVD are not reviewed here.

Great care is taken to ensure the accuracy of information on the site, as well as maintaining the absence of “spoilers”. At the head of each review, the director’s name, the format in which the movie was viewed, and the names of its stars can be found. One rating for the overall opinion of the movie and one rating for the degree of sexiness found on screen (called the “hottie” rating) conclude each review. Each of these ratings is scored on a scale of 0-5, with 5 being the best possible score. Following the review itself, an alternate movie recommendation, the movie’s official website (whenever possible), the Internet Movie Data Base’s site for the movie, and a “second opinion” review can be located.

The purpose of Gummi Popcorn is to share the author’s opinions and to entertain the internet audience. Comments are always welcome and will be reviewed prior to posting. The occasional poll or side note will also appear from time to time, as well as upcoming changes to the site itself. The hope is for this website to become a valuable resource for people who love movies and film newbies alike.
