Alright, this is semi-awkward for me. I have to start another blog, well, I don't really have to. However, the name for the last one wasn't working at all anymore. So now, here I am, to provide something different. So, like last time I'll start by explaining a bit about what I plan to do here. At the moment, I plan on releasing a weekly movie review. The movies are going to be a mix of the 50 movie packs (of which I now have 22) and also more popular A-list movies. The way I'm planning it at the moment, the movie will just be chosen by me. I could do a random draw, however, this tends to bear lackluster results, leaving me with a choice, but not my choice. However, the movie will be random, if I feel like Kung Fu one week, it'll be a Kung Fu movie, the next week could be a romance movie. You get what I'm saying, if there's a genre in particular you'd like to see, just let me know.
Here's some things you can expect:
- New Style: No more pros and cons. I'm going to try and do a slightly
more standard review style, it'll be sectioned up into things like:
Plot, Characters, Set Design/Scenery, etc. etc. As of writing this, I'm
not sure exactly what those categories will be, I think what I have to
write about the first film will decide for me.
- New Rating System: This is something I've been thinking about a lot recently. In my 365 reviews, I tended to let my entertainment value control the rating. What I'm thinking for the new ones, will be a score for each section (plot, characters, etc.) Also, a score for how good the movie is (by "good" I mean actual quality of most of the sections put together). Last but not least, there will be a "My Score" or an entertainment value score (This will basically be a score of how much I enjoyed it.)
- Better Movies: I, seriously, plan on doing more popular movies now. You will see movies you (should) know on this review more often than not. Another problem with my 365 reviews were screenshot copyright thingies. Yeah, those be damned. I've seen people do a lot worse copyright infringement than stills from a movie. So expect more of those.
- Larger Reviews: Due to the decrease to a weekly schedule, you can expect the reviews to be much bigger. Depending on if my copy of the movie has any special features, I'll probably talk about those too. At least, when they correlate to the movies (ie: Behind the Scenes featurette). So expect more info about the movies in general.
- Possible "Other" Reviews: As of recent, I've been watching a lot of movies. What I'm offering with this is POSSIBLE mid-week mini-reviews. Not guaranteed, but possible.
The release date of my reviews will probably be on Fridays, but I haven't completely decided yet.
Alright, to finish this off, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to all of you who read the 365 stuff and those of you who will read this stuff as well. It means a lot to me.
P.S. If you'd like to request a certain movie be reviewed or have comments or questions, just leave them in the comments section of this or any following post.
P.P.S. Movie collection is up to 2331 movies. So that's awesome.
