The movie buff will really appreciate this next blog, as it is written by a movie lover and for movie lovers. The blog is called Intermission at Work. The blogger is a computer programmer by day, and a movie theater manager by night, and blogs about movies in his spare time. You will find anything you want to know about all of the latest movies, including reviews, previews, trailers, and more. You can see for yourself what the blogger has to offer in his ‘Recently Released’ bloggeries: Joe’s Review: Tropic Thunder; Movie Morsel: Check Your Movie Times; Movies this Weekend!; Movie Moguls: Round 2; and Joe’s Review: Hancock.
The site is well organized and offers a lot to its readers. Almost too much as navigation can get cumbersome. But readers will find plenty of blog meat here and many systems to navigate. There are two main navigation systems in the header where you can go to just about anything the blog has to offer. The bulk of the blog is left marginalized and there is one double wide right sided navigation bar. In the left marginalized frame you will see that bloggeries consume the main and center stage of the page, and then this frame is divided into sub headings such as Movie Reviews, Movie Previews, and other features. In the navigation bar to the right you will find Subscription info, You Tube video of most recently seen movie, Advertising, Recent Posts titled ‘Recently Released’, Top Commenters menu titled ‘Top Critics’ ad spaces for available advertising. You will also find useful information in the footer, where you will see Recent Readers widget, Recommended Movie Sites, and Weekend Box Office Stats.
This blog gets a 4.2/5 right now with only a few tweaks to mention. Content is well done and in a personal voice that lends credibility to the quality of the content. From an appearance standpoint the blog is well organized and offers a lot of variety and color that keeps the reader entertained, while reading about entertainment. Navigation is somewhat complicated due to the many navigation systems. Sometimes when too many navigation systems are used the reader can get confused and not know where to look first. I think the blogger could overcome this through a Categories Menu that would organize things a little more concisely for the readership. Further, the content while it is well written, is not consistent and not daily, and thus the blogger could also benefit from more frequent posting. Overall however, this blog is an excellent resource to the movie lover and I would definitely give it two thumbs up!
