Categories: Reviews, General
Rating: PG-13 (occasional strong language, usually quoted from the films being reviewed)
What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of my blog is to allow me to gain experience about film criticism through hands-on practice. I also review other media that catch my interest, such as television programs and the odd album.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I'm not necessarily looking to make money off my blog, as I don't think I'm to the point yet where I deserve to, but I'm hoping that writing down my thoughts on the movies I watch will help me grow as a writer and that placing them online invites feedback that can aid my improvement.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I would love an interactive community that provides honest feedback to help me improve my writing style, or to point me in the direction of new films, books on film, etc.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I blogged a few times in the fall of 2008, but I did not begin to take it seriously until the end of that year. Barring real-life activities such as vacations or (heaven forbid) a computer crash, I tend to have new posts as frequently as once every two-three days, if not daily.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
2001: A Space Odyssey, The Red Shoes, Persona.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
I heard about it by reading the blog M. Carter @ the Movies.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that's not listed above.
I'm aware that some earlier articles need revising, as the ever-shifting nature of opinions and even a growth in writing ability warrant second looks at some of those casual '08 reviews.
