Categories: Reviews, Classic Films, Lists
Rating: PG-13
What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of "The Watch Instantly Critic" is to spotlight all the good and bad films that the service has to offer. I watch a lot of random stuff on Watch Instantly, because it's there and available, and I want to share my journey into the 17,000+ choices that are available. I also link to the movie at the end of the review, so anyone who has a Netflix account can watch it themselves and leave a comment with their thoughts...although that has yet to happen.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
Currently I write for two of my own sites, and for two others, so my goal is apparently to burn out. In all due honesty, I just want to write about movies and shows I like, and to have people read and respond. I don't harbor any false hopes that this will turn into a full-time job, which is fine by me. I'd rather write for a blog anyway, it's more personal and fun.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
Interactive community definitely. People have such vast opinions on the art of entertainment and I love reading everyone's thoughts and responding on my own. I also love getting recommendations and the like.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I've been movie blogging constantly since August of last year when I started my main site Film Calamity. Before then, I had been writing reviews on and off since high school. I try to update The Watch Instantly Critic at least three times a month, which isn't a lot, but when you also write on three other sites and balance work and school, it's the best one can muster.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Sideways, Blade Runner, the original Planet of the Apes.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
