Is it that time of the week already?! This week I’ve been looking at film blogs, and I’ve gathered a few of my favourites below for your perusal. You may be aware that I have my own film blog – and though I haven’t included it below (come on, that would be really big headed!) you may want to have a look at it here http://thefilmangel.blogspot.com.

Besides being an attractive and thorough movie review site – I particularly like The Movie Blog for it’s tagline. Namely “The Movie Blog: The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions.” You can’t beat a bit of shameless arrogance in a movie critic now can you?! As well as reviews of all the latest blockbusters, the Movie Blog also includes articles on interesting aspects of the film industry (I enjoyed their recent article about the roles famous stars have turned down). Regular features include “Forgotten Friday” which reviews films you’ve forgotten all about.
