I am upgrading Wordpress, so the site will be down for maintenance. Come back soon!
UPDATE: The home page doesn’t seem to work. However you can click all different sections in the menu bar, they work fine. I’ll try to fix the home page as soon as possible.
UPDATE 2: The problem was the recent comments plugin. It does not work at the moment, but at least the home page is back.
I’ve decided to create a new section of this site, entirely dedicated to my iPhone. I’ve been spending a lot of time on this new device (too much according to my wife), and I have a lot of opinions and knowledge to share. Hopefully this will be useful to all new iPhone users as well.
I’ll try to modify the main page in the future, but for the moment you can see all iPhone related posts in the sidebar of my main page. Or you can always reach the iPhone section at reviewsarama.com/iphone.
Welcome to my brand new reviews site. This site is a combination of two of my previous blogs about Movie/TV and Comics/Books. Those were hosted for free by excellent blogging platforms, however I always wanted to make customizations that weren’t allowed, so now I have my own domain and webhost and I can change anything I want.
I tried to divide the site into 4 main sections: Movies, TV Shows, Comics, Books. So if you’re only interested in one of them, you won’t see anything else, except for the main page.
I have already imported all movies/TV posts from my previous film blog, and will slowly import the comics posts as well. To look at all reviews check out the Archives page.
Please browse the site and let me know what you think of the look, the navigation or the content. You can leave a comment here or send me an email at ibccast@gmail.com
Hope you enjoy and subscribe.
In 2006 I reviewed 91 movies plus 17 TV shows. So my goal for 2007 was to review more than 100 movies. I can say that I trumped that goal. Here are the stats for 2007:
Movies: 146
TV shows: 34
I must say that having 35 days off work in March/April really helped me achieve 146 movies, so I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to top that. That being said I was hoping to have a round number of 150, which is why I watched so many movies in December.
As for TV shows, I didn’t think I’d watched more than usual, but I guess I did.
Oh well, we’ll see this year if I can top these numbers.
I finally managed to create a header suited for this blog, and even though it’s not very fancy I am happy with it.
It contains posters from some of the movies I nominated as my Top 10 in this post. Unfortunately not all 10 fit, but I will change this header in the future. For now I am happy with it. Check it out and let me know what you think.
2006 was the first full year in which I reviewed every single movie and TV show I watched. I am kind of proud of that. Here are the stats:
In 2006 I watched 91 movies and 17 TV shows. 91 is a pretty average number, not even 2 per week. However factor in 17 TV shows, and it’s probably more impressive. Actually, these are 17 reviews of TV shows, each review is usually of one season, though there was one review that was of all 5 seasons of Babylon 5, plus all 5 TV movies. Maybe one day I will actually count the number of hours I spent watching TV… that’s a scary thought.
For 2007, my goal will be to watch at least 100 movies, that shouldn’t be too hard. 8-9 movies per month should do it. So far I have… 11, ok I am way behind. Gotta go watch some movie!!
Robert Altman passed away on Monday. He was one of the greatest directors, even though the quality of his movies varied a lot. I haven’t watched a lot of his movies, I just never sought them out. By the time I started to become more interested in movies, his output was either reduced or just of not good quality.
Here’s what I saw:
- Popeye (1980): ok, I just found out he directed that movie! I vaguely remember watching it as a kid, and being entertained.
- Dr T and the Women (2000): oh my God!! He directed that mess of a movie? I got that movie just for my wife, otherwise I don’t think I’d ever watch it. Mind you I do like Laura Dern and Helen Hunt, but that movie was very disappointing.
- Gosford Park (2001): now we’re talking! One of my favorite movies of all time. Truly a masterpiece.
- MASH (1970): I reviewed this movie in this blog, so I’ll only say that it was interesting but ultimately disappointing.
That’s it? Yeah, pitiful I know. I am going to find out his most famous movies, starting from his last one A Prairie Home Companion, and then The Player, Nashville, Short Cuts. Any other suggestions?
