General: About this blog

Let me quote something that I wrote six months ago for new readers of my blog:

"This isn't meant to be a film review site. If you want to get details about the latest releases my blog isn't the place for you. My reviews aren't in-depth, and they will rarely be about new films. This blog is my diary, letting you know what films I've been watching and whether I like them. More than anything I want people to argue with me."

On occasions I might write a description of a film's plot, if I'm in the mood, or I might write a long essay on why I particularly like or dislike a film. Sometimes I might use a film as an excuse to make an off-topic rambling, as I did in the case of "Kick Ass". I recently quoted another blogger's review in full, which is something I might start doing more often in future. I've considered adding links to film trailers, but decided against it. Other changes may come in the future. If there's anything that you, the reader, want me to do differently, please tell me.

One thing I will NEVER do is add links to places to download films. I believe that a true film fan will be prepared to buy or rent any film that he wants to see. If I review a film that's out of print and you can't find it anywhere, write to me in a comment and I might be able to help you. Some films like "The Paperboy" have never been released in the USA or England, only in other countries.
