Brutally Blunt Blog Blustering #34: Cannelton Critic

It’s Blusterin’ Time!

And remember: Blustering should be a two-way street; if you’ve asked to be blustered, you better be a blusterer.

If you’re new to this feature or need a refresher, click the label at the bottom of this post and see the first few posts. Otherwise, here’s the basics:

What I’ll do is list a site; you’re asked to critique it. But here’s the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don’t leave the comment using your normal alias/login - instead, go anonymous, and be as brutally honest (or complimentary) as you wish to be. Also, be specific, and naturally, don’t be rude. If I deem anything inappropriate, I’ll have no problem deleting the comment.

So, go to the site listed below, familiarize yourself with it for a few minutes, then come back and leave some constructive criticism and/or comments that you have.

Site: Cannelton Critic
LAMB#: 279
URL: http://www.canneltoncritic.com/

If you’re up for this treatment for your site (and you’re a LAMB), send me an email with the subject “Bluster Me!” If you’ve already done so, no need to do it again - you’re on the list, and these will be going up in order of when I received your email (by the way, it could take a while for your site to be Blustered, since I don’t run this more than once a week or so).

LAMB #279 - Cannelton Critic

URL: http://www.canneltoncritic.com/
Site Name: Cannelton Critic
Categories:Reviews
Rating: PG-13

What is the main focus of your site?
Current movie reviews with an occasional older film review.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I have always been an avid film watcher and I enjoyed writing reviews on Facebook-type applications, so I decided to create a blog devoted to my reviews. My hope is to get a large number of people reading my reviews and possibly watching some movies they may have skipped otherwise. And if there’s ever a chance to get a little money out of it, then I would be okay with that as well, though it’s not my main goal.

Do you prefer an interactive ‘community’ for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
I enjoy interaction. I want people to comment and start discussions about movies because I understand that one man’s trash is another’s treasure.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I have been writing the blog since January of 2009. I update at least once a week, maybe twice if I watch enough interesting movies.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Apocalypse Now
A Clockwork Orange
The Empire Strikes Back

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I was checking out other movie blogs when I came across the LAMB.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
None.
