The Movieblog.com is a site that gives upcoming movie information and openly shares the thoughts and feelings of movies from other bloggers. It was started as an online journal in 2001 by John Campea and eventually he decided to pursue other interests. The site was then handed to and is still ran by Senior Editor, Rodney Brazeau. The Movie blog has archives dating back to July of 2003 all the way to the present time. The comments that each post receives averages between two and twenty comments with an occasional 50+ commented post, such as the movie review of, “Kickass”. Posts are made daily with around five plus posts made a day. They all vary from movie reviews, to new movies in the works, to movie industry news, etc. It is definitely a subject and community blog. Movies is the consistent theme and people who love movies are the bloggers.
When posting the blogs, Rodney puts his personal opinions including cited news clippings describing the blog. People leave comments with their own personal feelings and thoughts about the blog and Rodney responds to some, including himself in the conversation. This is good because it creates a close relationship between the blogger and Rodney, the Editor. The styles of writing are very informative, yet personable and casual. There is a lot of information to be gained from the blog but also other peoples perspectives that may not have been seen otherwise.
I personally liked the blog. I thought it was a good way to receive movie information, thoughts, and opinions from others. Rodney gives good input to other bloggers and does so in a constructive matter. Everyone on their seems to respect each other and treat each other like adults. It’s a good blog for anyone who wants to get movie news not quite in the regular news and a good way to read other opinions.
