Blogging the Reel World

http://www.slashfilm.com/ is the home of a film blog called “Blogging the Reel World” that is basically an all-purpose website for fans of movies. It has news, reviews, a podcast, and trailers, and also has some content that covers TV and comics.

The “News” section features legitimate film news like this:

and rumors, like this: http://www.slashfilm.com/rogue-one-screenplay-chris-mcquarrie/

and it also has funny and odd little things that are connected to movies, for geeks like me, like this: http://www.slashfilm.com/batman-v-superman-1940s-trailer/

They post new trailers very frequently, usually at least once a day, and there’s also a “This Week in Trailers” feature. Of course they put up the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer after it aired yesterday:

What would a film fan site be without reviews? Here is their review of Steve Jobs:

There is some TV content in the “News” and “Trailers” sections, and they have a daily feature called “Superhero Bits” that covers everything in the world of Superheroes, including comic books themselves, and basically every type of adaptation: film, TV, and animation. Here is yesterday’s post: http://www.slashfilm.com/superhero-bits-944/

There is also a podcast called Filmcast. Here is the latest episode of that, covering Robert Zemeckis’ new picture, The Walk: http://www.slashfilm.com/filmcast-ep-337-the-walk/

Overall, I’ve been impressed with their content. I doubt I’m ever going to agree with every opinion posted on any blog, but they’re opinions I respect, presented in a professional way, and it is definitely content that interests me.
