  • HOW TO WRITE A MOVIE REVIEW

    And oh yeah. We've been receiving 5 reviews so far. However, only one out of these reviews is written in a correct format. So... to save us some time, please DO follow this format in writing your review:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Put the movie that you're going to review here
    Title of your message: Film Review For Blades Of Glory
    From:
    always--always! send you review to that e-mail address *pointing above*

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I commented aaages ago saying that I would write a review, and now I've finished my exams I'm free to do anything I want - so here's a review for Blades of Glory! Hope you enjoy =P <----- you could include your personal message here

    Brief (IMDB) Synopsis:  <---------you could copy-paste it from IMDB's site, however please gave them a credit by mentioning the writer's name at the end of the synopsis. This following synopsis, however, is the original synopsis from the reviewer that sent this e-mail 

    The film sees the fall of two former male, champion figure skaters, as their competitive sides take over them. Eager to skate their way back into the sport, they are forced to work together as the first ever male doubles team. With the hatred between them, will they be able to work out their differences and beat the brother and sister duo to the gold? You’ll have to watch it to find out...

    (PUT the writer's name here... if you just copy-paste it from IMDB's site)

    Review:

    “Blades of Glory” contains everything a successful comedy should; a predictable plot line, disturbingly funny costumes, forbidden love and chase scenes (on ice I should add).
    Even though you can roughly guess what will happen in the film, it does not alter the pleasure of watching Will Ferrell (Elf, Bewitched) and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Benchwarmers) make fools out of themselves as they show how friendships can be made even between “ice and fire”.
    After a while, the slapstick comedy and grotesque moments become too much to take, however the hilarious innuendo and suggested homosexuality makes up for it all, creating a film worth watching.

    The Pros: (yep don't forget to write the pro's and the con's. Every review without the pro's or con's will automatically be discarded)

    These days there aren’t that many films you can watch, guaranteed it will cheer you up if you are feeling a bit down in the dumps; however this film definitely will. Blades of Glory is a harmless comedy with loveable characters; who’d have thought that we’d ever see a recovering sex addict befriend a peacock with a gay stalker? It is definitely a bizarre film with many lines, costumes and dance routines that will leave you giggling way after the film has finished.

    The Cons:

    Even though I’ve yet to find someone who doesn’t like Blades of Glory, I’m pretty sure it’s a film like marmite; you either love it or you hate it.

    Overall star rating: <---- Give your own rating here. Remember Don't gave the 5 star rating easily. We're not that generous. The range is from 1 - 5 by the way.

    4/5

  • WE'RE OUT OF BUSINESS..

    yup! you read that right.

    We're not going to write any articles for a moment. You see, we're trying to see this site's popularity and we've all decided to see it through minis, comments, and recommendations that we've got, our goal is to reach one of the following: 5,000 credits or 15 recommendations. So.... until then, we're not going to publish any reviews or articles (except the updates of the total credits that we've currently gathered) until we've reached that specific goal. So do help us out! =)

    And yes, you guess that right. this is just another clever attempt of collecting credits, however, these credits that we've gathered are actually will be given to those people who would write a review for us, just call that as their compensation. So please... just left a comment with 2 e-props or... A mini would be cool too! and thanks for always be with us. Stay tune for the updates!  

    UPDATES

    number of credits as of 06/17/2008 : 2015; 2085 credits to go...

    06/18/2008; Apparently, this isn't working. So we revised our standard to at least reach one of the following : 3,000 credits, or 10 recommendations, or 10 mini's. Hope we could gather within a week. 

    06/20/2008; Slow progress in collecting these credits. So we've decided to resume our activity and start posting all the movie reviews again. You could still donate a mini and comments though. Maybe we will resume the program again after we gain some popularity. Still, do spread the word of our site in xanga community. Aloha movie surfers-- We're back!
