Today marks the end of the first month of Beerbohmtastic. Please keep the emails and comments coming. I will review any trailer and take requests - for reviews.
Here are some month end stats:
Movie trailers/synopsis reviewed: 36
Movies viewed in August: 6
Movies reviewed actually viewed: 2
Reader insults: 3.5
Feelings hurt: 1.25
New blogger observation: It's easier to judge a book (movie) by it's cover (trailer) than it is to read the book (watch the movie). I guess that's the point of Beerbohmtastic...
It was suggested that I include links to the trailers and a bit more detail on the films like the director, actors etc.... Thank you for your suggestion, Ron, but if you want more detail just Google it, that's what I do.
My friend, Simon, once said to me, "if you write as good as you talk, nobody reads you..."
Thank you for reading.
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.
