It’s been a while since anything has changed on this site, so I’ve added a new feature that should get me to update more regularly.
One thing that hasn’t changed since before I started this website is that I see a lot of movies. Unfortunately, the one thing I don’t have is the time or energy to write full reviews for all of them. If I don’t get to writing the day after I watch something, more movies get seen and I fall farther and farther behind.
So to counter this phenomenon I introduce: the Micro-Review.
OTS Micros is actually a converted Twitter feed that I can use to make a quick comment about a film and a star rating. The latest 2 or 3 will be shown on the main page. They won’t be cataloged in the same way that the full reviews are, but they can be browsed in full via the “Micro-Reviews” link on the main page of the OTS Reviews website which leads to the official OTS Micro Twitter page.
With any luck, the smaller capsule reviews will keep me more engaged with the site, and we’ll have more full reviews as a result.
Thanks for reading,
John
EDIT: Changed the site to incorporate the micro-reviews better, and therefore won’t use the Twitter account for that functionality. Micro-reviews will also now show side-by-side with their fully composed brethren for searches too. OTS Reviews still has a Twitter account though, check out @OTSReview.
