FILM SPOTTING: September 2010 in Polish cinemas

{FILM SPOTTING}
Even more format changes ;-P Am still using the rating system from last month, but have foregone 0 and -1. Feels like overkill. Am staying with the +0.5 rating though, at least for the moment.

FILM SPOTTING: August 2010 in Polish cinemas

I’m not sure all my attempts at mixing things up are going that well (I think my film diary format change is actually worse than what I had before ;-P). But I’m doing some further experimentation this month anyway.
So firstly, I’m introducing a “how much I want to see the film” rating:

+3
Very excited!
I’ve been obsessively [...]

Another Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer

The interesting thing is that it has [...]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I - the official teaser trailer

I know I’ve supposedly posted the first teaser about 6 months ago, but the real teaser trailer (whatever that means ;-P) is this:

They use many of the same shots on both teasers, but the new one is somewhat more interesting :)

Men Who Stare at Goats - lots of goats and a funny premise

I like the new film review format better than the old one, so I’m going to continue using it for now. However, I’m not going to include the “General Comments” section on everything. Sometimes I just don’t have that much to say and so there’s no point in rambling on.

I Love You Phillip Morris - the unlikely coupling of Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor

Lately, my film reviews seem to be getting much too rambling… It’s time for change :)
I’m trying a slightly different review format this time. Most things should be self-explanatory. The one thing that might be a bit confusing is the “driving force” concept. My theory is that films can be driven by:

Action/Plot
By this I understand [...]
