I like to move it. Move it.

Links and Master Cleanse, Day Three

posted Friday, 26 October 2007

The reason you've gotten so many formally constructed movie reviews on this site lately is because I've been assembling an audition packet of sorts to write movie reviews for Cinematical. My first new release review posted over there this morning, for the new Steve Carell flick Dan in Real Life.

There's a new edition of The Write Stuff over there as well, this one answering some of your questions about Writing Partnerships, specifically mine. 

I also reviewed another one of my favorite horror movies for Halloween month -- Tremors.  

Please check 'em out, comment, support. Much love. 

In a hurry today, but the headache is gone, and I am feeling a lot better. I still can't look this lemonade in the eye, but you know? I really am feeling "clean."

Since I am getting in touch with my inner self here, I leave you with a haiku (hai-poo?):

Clean body, clean soul

Can't say same for toilet bowl

I want a sandwich

Good review. Great haiku.

Have a good weekend and have a lemonade for me.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your process of reviewing movies? Are you like some who takes a notepad & pen to the theater and jots notes down, or just unleashes it all when you get back from watching it?

I don't want to get you (or myself) in trouble with Cinematical, in case the good people of that site pore through the comments here. But when...let's say, a writer therefore with a high post count, uses "your" to mean "you're," grammar nazis (like myself) everywhere are a bit turned off.

In other words, if I ran the thing, you'd have been a shoo-in for "reviewer" status long before some of these turkeys!

Nutsy,

Thanks, and I have had so, so many lemonades for you.

CVaughn001,

I've never brought pen and paper, I wouldn't be able to focus on the movie. I usually wait a couple days or more -- that way I tend to be more fair and not just shooting from the immediate high or low I'm experiencing right after seeing something. Then I write down a bunch of things I enjoyed or hated about the movie and try to organize it into a coherent essay.

Rob,

I appreciate that, but Cinematical has some excellent reviewers.

@ Patrick,

That makes sense, I remember when I first saw 300, I immediately thought it was so amazing, it was the best thing in forever. But waiting a couple days, and letting the film really digest within myself, my opinion changed dramatically, and I felt my new-found opinions were more thought out.

With that I would not disagree.
