Blog Review: Why Movie Openings Are Crucial
This blog was written by multiple authors. The main blog, The Hollywood Blog, is updated once a week with the top story from Hollywood. The blog itself isn't anything out of the ordinary, it uses images and text as the main focus of the site. It doesn't have any other multimedia elements to the site. Now when we look at the content of the blog, in particular the entry "Why Movie Openings are Crucial", I believe the blog proves itself to not be a credible source for information. Firstly, most of their information is secondhand, and just reiterations of events that can be found on other sites. For example, this site posted a story about director Guillermo del Toro not directing The Hobbit, a story many days old by the timer they posted. Additionally, the site is riddled with spelling errors and the article "Why Movie Openings are Crucial" offers nothing beyond the shallow basics of what movie openings illustrate. It may have been written by somebody with the most basic of knowledge about the industry. Finally, the author doesn't even provide their last name, a common theme for the site. While this site may have some interesting information, I recommend you use other sites for breaking Hollywood news.
