All Abooooard!!!

October 22nd, 2009 by MiamiMovieCritic in Movie Reviews, Team Journal

The track has been laid, the whistle is blowing, and we’re off! All aboard the FilmNet Express!!!

Today I’ll be your tour guide though one of our more exciting compartments: The Reviews Section. As resident film critic, I’m in charge of making the reviews look as spiffy as possible. Here’s how the section breaks down…

On FilmNet: Here our contributors get the professional treatment, as we offer in-depth reviews of the short films, Web series and feature-length movies available to watch on FilmNet

In Theaters: Reviews of the latest Hollywood, independent and film festival releases.

On DVD: A look at new home video releases, from blockbusters to little-seen gems.

A Look Back: Everything else!

So there you have it. As you’ll see, we’ve already filled the section with reviews from multiple critics. Not only will FilmNet be an excellent source for reviews, it will also be a great showcase for reviewers. Richard Peter focuses on horror movies, while Steve Rhodes reviews just about everything new that comes out. Our other critics include Evil Wolfie, Man of the Movie 16, Shane Burridge, Jerry Saravia, Dain Binder, Phil Edwards, Battle Royale with Cheese, Tom Elce, Tim Skirvin, Andrew Staker, Justin M and Joe Lopez.

And this is only the beginning! You’ll see many more critics and reviews on our site soon.

You’ll also see that you can add your own review to any existing review on FilmNet. Just go to the “write a review” section at the bottom of the page and let your voice be heard. And we’ll be adding more features in the weeks ahead – including the ability to browse reviews by critic, links to movie trailers, photo albums and more – so stay tuned.

I hope you find the reviews – not to mention the rest of the site – as exciting as I do. Consider this an open invitation to get involved in the site and contribute your own reviews to FilmNet!

Calling All Movie Critics

September 19th, 2009 by MiamiMovieCritic in Movie Reviews, Team Journal

As one of the behind-the-scenes people at FilmNet, I get to see how the site is shaping up as we fast approach our launch date. And I have to say, I’m getting really excited! This is going to be the ultimate site for film lovers – THE place for news, reviews, and the best of online movies.

I’ve been busy writing reviews and working hard to awesomify our review section before we pull back the curtain in September. This has been a decidedly mixed summer at the movies. (Harry: You’re still a wizard. Michael Bay: Could you tone it down just a wee bit?) On FilmNet, you’ll find reviews of movies playing at a theater near you, as well as critiques of the latest DVD releases and an extensive catalog of what are essentially nostalgia pieces – movies that came out a long time ago but we’ve decided to revisit. And, of course, reviews of your short films!

But I can’t do this all by myself, people, and for two reasons: 1) I am only one man; and 2) That’s not what FilmNet’s all about. This is about building a community of film fanatics, and we want our review section to have the same diversity of opinion as any other great user-driven Web site.

So if you like writing about movies, please send us your reviews! On the site, each review will have its own page, with your byline, stills from the movie and ratings on a five-star scale. The review page will link to a profile page, where you can pimp just about anything you want: social networking sites, other places where users can read your work, whatever! Please include a star rating along with the name you want your reviews to be published under. You can e-mail me at sbshupe@filmnet.com.
