I Ain’t No Critic But…

Nothing like a good movie!

Eagle-eyed readers of my blog may have noticed a couple of things happen over the last day or so. Firstly that most of the links for the tag cloud broke and then secondly a new menu item, movies, appeared. The link breakage was due to, I think, me deleting the .htaccess file for the site which contained the clever stuff that make my links work like I want them to. Still a quick mess around and they’re all back and working.

As for the new menu item, well that’s obvious isn’t it!? In short I’m going to try to write reviews again. This has been inspired by my friend Scott who, with some friends, setup a Tumblog posting their reviews for their Film Club. I’ve really enjoyed their reviews and, after reactivating my LOVEFiLM account, figured I could do the same here.

I’m aiming to watch and review at least one film per week. Not only will this make this blog a wee bit more active but will make sure I get good use out of LOVEFiLM. Last time I was a member I was on plan for games and movies but I rarely watched the movie and occasionally played the game. In the end I decided it was something I could do with out when I cut back on many things last year in an effort to save money. Since then things have improved money wise and felt I had enough now to cover a subscription albeit on a lesser plan (though does include unlimited online viewing).

First up is Surrogates (2009) starring Bruce Willis. It was a movie I missed at the cinema but did want to see. The review will likely be up sometime this weekend so watch this space!
