Movie-Per-Minute: Film reviews that you can read in approximately one minute

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Welcome, Steemians, to Movie-Per-Minute. In this blog I will be writing reviews about films that I've been watching. The aim of this blog is to provide quick, easy to digest content that conveys a decent amount of information about a film that you may be interested in with no spoilers and help you determine whether or not it's worth paying good money to see in a cinema.

The Movie-per-Minute blog differs from existing film review texts in that it is more compact, less sensationalized and comes from the perspective of an everyday viewer such as you and me. There will be no deep narrative or character analyses (although in some cases I will know a few things about a film I'd be writing about), no extensive insights into the film's production and no overall star ratings, since I don't believe they effectively encompass the cinema experience.

Included below is an example of the format I'll be writing in:


Film Title

Director

Runtime


^ The poster (credit)

Release Date: Typically will include the general release date, but I will likely include various regional release dates if they're exceptionally far from the general release date.


What's It About: Self-explanatory - I try to summarize what the film is about, without spoilers.


The Good: I jot down a few of the things that make this movie good or interesting... perhaps the cinematography, the music and sound, the special effects, the narrative, the characters or the acting?


The Bad: The same topics as whatever I thought was good, except instead what's detracting from the film rather than helping it.


Best Performance: Any notable performances by actors and actresses worth mentioning? I'll be sure to let you know about them and give the performance due credit.


Should I Watch It: The million dollar question. In spite of all the good and the bad, is this film worth watching? I'll outline a couple of reasons as to why or why not.


Post-Credits Scene: I'll let you know if there's a post-credits stinger mid- or end-credits. That way you'll know in advance if you should stay until the end.


Similar Films: Here I'll put down a few films that share concepts or are stylistically similar, and point you in the direction of more content. You may find a new favorite!


Hopefully this sufficiently covers most of the main points. Do you have any suggestions about how I could streamline posts to make them easier to read?

I hope I can help foster a stronger Steemit community with my posts, and look forward to engaging with fellow film buffs!

Hello, welcome to Steemit. I do hope that you have a wonderful time on this platform. Looking forward to your future posts!
Thanks for joining this beautiful community. Wish you much luck! Have a great time.!

I am a film buff! I've been writing my "Steem that movie" series. I just started. My films are mostly random ones that I've really liked though.

That's great to hear! I'll be blogging about both currently screening films as well as the more underground ones that I've watched and enjoyed. Part of this blog is to help bring exposure to the gems!

Awesome! I recently read the Wolf Of Wallstreet screenplay and thought it was brilliant.
