meet the thumb family
We're working hard to keep you informed about the latest and greatest movies. Sure, we're no Ebert, but we do know what we like to see, we watch a lot of movies...and we pay for our own tickets, gosh-darn-it!
We hope our movie reviews give you some help in deciding what movies to watch. We try and make our reviews entertaining as well as informative. We've separated our reviews into two major sections...the quick review for those on the go, and the long review for those who want more, more, more!
If you'd like to send comments or suggestions, or wish to find out more about the advertising and sponsorship opportunities that are available on moviegurus.com, please email us at info@moviegurus.com.

Favorite genres: Romantic comedy, horror, and novel adaptations.

Most loathed movies: True Romance. It was bad. Baaaaaaaaaaaad. Baaaaaaaaad! I cant' tell you much else 'cuz I walked out a quarter into the movie. I also hate "Ronin" and "What Dreams May Come."

What kind of movies do you like? "I like movies that touch me, that make me feel good (get your mind out of the gutter, people!!) I like movies that show people getting what they deserve. I like movies that bring hope, that teach me a little something about human nature and the human spirit. I like movies that make me tingle…even though I don't have to go to the bathroom.
If you could play the lead role in any movie, what would it be? Dorothy in "Jerry Maguire." That girl has it all…Tom Cruise in her bed and that cute kid in the next room.
What movie title would best describe your life: "Dazed and Confused." Need I explain?
thumb1 aka guru dudu

Music: Hip hop, R&B, pop (including Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Britney Spears), and some classical piano.
What kind of movies do you like? I like to watch movies for their entertainment "escape from reality" value. If I can forget for even a moment the world that we live in, then the movie will have provided some entertainment value. I also like movies that provoke my mind through presentation of alternate views, realities, and theories - basically showing a different way of thinking about things.
If you cold play the lead role in any movie, what would it be? Neo in "The Matrix." The guy can dodge bullets! Need I say more?
What movie title would best describe your life: BIG. Hehehe...just kidding.
