Any blogger will know how huge a task it is to be able to write a new post everyday. It goes beyond just having something to say: the task requires dedication and discipline that very few possess. It would be so easy to say “Oh, I’ll just skip one day” for anyone.
Yet, Alan Bacchus – a filmmaker, critic and magazine writer – has delivered a new movie review every day for the past three years. It’s a Herculean body of work, with very few other sites that can claim to have something similar.
Daily Film Dose bears the look of a blog, yet is tweaked in just the right ways to carry off a refined, professional image.
The format for each review is the same: The name of the movie, a screenshot or poster of the movie, the director and cast, a rating (on a scale of 4), followed by a 500-700 word review, and wrapping things up with a trailer where available.
Bacchus has a fluid writing style that describes a movie by drawing parallels with other film and pop-culture artefacts, along with the unique perspective that comes from being a filmmaker himself. The technical aspects of a lot of films are explained beautifully, helping one appreciate a movie more.
The critic has also written quite a few feature articles on various subjects related to cinema, as well as conducted a few interviews – all of which can be browsed and read through the glossary.
There is a sense of free flow to Daily Film Dose, which can easily double up as a regular movie recommendation service. [Visit Site]
