Blog the Blog

Forget about looking on youtube for trailers or waiting until you go to the theaters to watch trailers about up and coming films, The Movie Blog (themovieblog.com) has it all for you, both current and up and coming. Not only does include movie reviews, but also interviews and a lot of news. However as they put it.

This is not a news site per se (although you’ll get a lot of news here), but rather a place to give thoughts and opinions on movies and movie news. A pundit site if you will for the Movie Industry.

The moment you hit the site, it’s pretty straight forward film reeland eye-catching, no mystery or puzzle. It has a casual feel to it, with an easy grey that is appealing and it allows the images and videos to do all the coloring.  It’s not overloaded with junk and unnecessary images and it’s well structured. There’s one ad that pops up every time I go to the website which is somewhat irritating as most ads are, but after around 5 seconds its over and done with.

The movie reviews on this blog are actually very detailed compared to other blogs and reviews I’ve seen. It has the name of the director, who wrote it, the starring actors, the genre, what the film is rated, and the synopsis. It also includes the official trailer and of course the writers thoughts and opinions on the film, for what would a blog about a film be without that. Now, most reviews have the date and the author of the post at the top, under the title. What I like about this blog site is that at the end of the post it also has a little “about the author”, which I appreciate because I like to know who’s writing what I’m reading and how much they have written.

The language of the blog site is casual yet formal. I don’t quite know how to explain it other than its like an extremely well written first draft essay. It’s not too much, not to little with the formality of it which is really appealing because blogs tend to usually be less formal than needed. Overall I rather like this blog site from structure and appearance to the language. It was very well thought out and it runs smoothly
