The Tenant in Room 115: Illustrated Movie Review Blog

This week I chose for my new tenant a blog that I think fits well with my pop cultural perspective: The Illustrated Movie Review Blog.

Illustrated Movie Review Blog
H.A. Calles started off slow with recreations of movie posters and characters with a very brief review. Mia from Pulp Fiction is a good example of this period of the blog.

A little later, the reviews started getting a little longer, as Resident Evil and Unforgiven demonstrate.

Then on July 4th, Calles made a decision which was to revolutionize his blog. He because posting his reviews in both English and Spanish, starting with the highly appropriate Once upon a Time in Mexico and reviewing other titles with interesting plots or characters as The Chronicles of Riddick, Nacho Libre and the Lake House.

There are a lot of illustrated reviews on this site, and I am only giving you a taste of the bounties that await you at the Illustrated Movie Review Blog... so why not check it out?

Hi Matt,

Thanks a lot for choosing Illustrated Movie Review Blog and also for the cool, detailed review… To tell you the truth I wasn’t fully aware of the changes I’ve done to my Blog this far. I know that ever since I joined Blog Explosion I wanted to be more competitive, and my Blog suffered the consequences, but I wasn’t keeping a conscious record of what exactly I’ve done. It seems to me that from you external prospective now you know more about my Blog than myself…Lol… Thanks again Matt!!!

H.A.: I am known for my thoroughness when writing my introductions. After all, I think in most cases people are paying for the intro more than the space so to speak, and I am sure that if someone else was to do the same kind of thing to my blog, they would see some emerging patterns from the start to the present.

Mr. Fab: Who doesn't like movies really? They are a fascinating medium, are they not ;)
