What is the main focus of your site? To provide spoiler conscious reviews and to simply lay out for the readers what to expect from each film. No one sets out to make a bad movie and as such I like to highlight both positives and negatives for every movie! Every Monday I also list what’s coming to dvd/bluray, what’s coming to theaters the following friday, and links to cool trailers that came out the week before.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog? Personally this is a way for me to get practice with writing and being comfortable with putting out my work. Professionally it would be a dream to be able to review movies for a living. It would be cool if Thinking Cinematic takes off as its own thing but even if it doesn’t, it’s a nice thing to show any potential employers.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students? I would love a more interactive community for my blog! I’m by no means an expert and never try to come across with the attitude that my opinion is law. I like the idea that it’s an open discussion where I present my ideas and they present theirs. Movies are amazing and deserve to be discussed among friends and peers!
How long has this site been active for, and how frequently do you post updates to your site? (Note: sites must be active for at least three months for entry to the LAMB.) This past January was officially a year since setting up the site but last May was when I started posting reviews regularly. My current schedule is a new movie review every Saturday at 8 (central time). I do have other posts that come out on Monday and Friday. Monday is a update of what comes out for that week and Friday is a T.V. review of the NBC show Community. That was an experiment that I’m not sure I’ll continue doing.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more). Lost in Translation, Rango (Nickelodeon Animated Movie), Jurassic Park
Name a movie you hate!! Dragonball Evolution
How did hear about the LAMB? If it was a LAMB, do you recall which one? It was on a reddit post discussing how to be a movie reviewer.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above. (optional) I love movies and I love writing! It started off as a fun project but after getting nearly 5,000 views in one year I saw the potential for it to be more so I’m hoping that this year I can improve that! Either way the important thing is movie discussion and I love having a place to express my thoughts with a steady base of readers!
