As soon as I came across this well organized site, I knew that this entertainment blog would receive a good review. FirstShowing.net uses tabs to categorize information such as reviews, podcasts, news and trailers. On top of that they have a search engine for quick and specific results. As a first time visiter I found myself able to interact with this site on many levels. Apart from reading articles and reviews, I had access to quick loading trailers. The site is constantly being updated and I find myself returning to check out the latest interviews and upcoming releases. There is a also a useful section for top films of 2007 which features many great indie films that may have been overlooked by the average movie watcher.
The most interesting thing about this site is the release schedule for upcoming films through 2009. Unlike tribute.ca, we can see the exact date of the movie's release instead of simply knowing that it is "coming soon to a theatre near you". I noticed something in the Movie News section that was very humble about the creators. They've included links from many sites such as SlashFilm and CHUD.com instead of providing their readers with one source, they've given us a choice of many articles and opinions and for this freedom of choice, I give the creators of FirstShowing a grand applause. The site is not only entertaining but also educating. The reviews and articles are well written and the site receives two thumbs up for overall stickiness.
** This blog was created before I switched tutorials. Therefore this review is based upon the 6:00-7:00 lab list.
