Editorials > Today's Filmwad Rant: Review Some Movies, People!

We know you guys love the site. It's doing well, people are commenting on the News, editorials, all that. But there's one part of the site that most of you are neglecting. One part of Filmwad that is begging for your participation: our "User Reviews" section.

We spent a lot of time coming up with an easy to use reviews section. All you have to do is click on the upper right hand corner button that says "submit stuff" and then select a movie in the drop down menu. You can select a recent film, or (if you click on the more movies button) there are tons more movies that you can give the critical treatment to.

Now there are some of you guys writing reviews, and we greatly appreciate that. The users belid, jango218 and ogo2k have the most reviews submitted for a non editor. But myself and the FW editor doubleviking each have more than double the number of reviews from the user with the most reviews. You're making our user submitted reviews section just a plain old reviews section…yawn!

What makes filmwad great is that it straddles the worlds of the film blogs and the more established film news sites. We bring you LOADS of film news, right on time…but we also bring you commentary and user-driven sections that places like "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Entertainment Weekly" don't have.

For the most part, you guys are beyond awesome…let's just start reviewing more movies! And if you have any suggestions for the review section, please, please let us know how we can make it better. Beyond that, tell your friends, tell anyone you know…if you want to tell the world how you feel about a movie, make Filmwad the place to do that.

Thanks guys and we appreciate your amazing support!

heh, Ive thought about putting some reviews up, god knows i go see enough movies too. Typically though i have such a bad memory that if i don't put something down straight afterwards ill forget what i was thinking!!! B-)

But since your asking, Ill make a point to do a few. even if they are just quickies, and will be pretty late (considering Australia is still waiting months for some movies to fly over)

BTW guys I'm fairly new here and i just wanted to say the site is awesome. It very quickly become daily reading for me. keep up the good work.

If we gave you guys access via your mobile phone, would you post reviews the minute you got out of a movie theater? Let us know.

I'm sorry guys. We get interesting movies in Michigan after most everyone else and then it seems pointless to review it because someone better already has. wah wah, I know.

Alright, alright, I'll write a Kingdom review this weekend. I may do it drunk though, so don't critique me too harshly.

I think some drunk reviews could stand out, gotta love brutal honesty!!

way too much writing to do on a mobile phone. i might leave a notepad in my car though to jot down stuff on the way home that will jog my memory.

JPDyno, you're right about the lots of writing on the mobile phone. I guess a person could keep their reviews short if they waned. :)
