Well it's more or less a room with reviewers (two to be exact) rather than reviews. It's the magazine that has reviews... and the room was filled with magazines... And so it is by clever association and appalling "pun"-manship *snort* (... yes I do realize how lame that was...), I've titled this edition's blog.
It was a pretty sweet experience, getting to go to screenings and seeing how everything operates in the film mag business. I've never used shift+f7 so much in my life, writing reviews for the movies I had watched during the week. I think I've receieved a major 'adjective' overload at some point. Combine that with sleep deprivation and you pretty much have a toxic combo that can be made extremey lethal with the potent additive, B.O. (Bad Odour. Commonly found on packed Cityrail trains).
Now, I'm not one for cheap promotions *cough*http://www.filmink.com.au/home/*cough*, nor am I one to show complete bias *cough*Decemberissueoutnow*cough*, so I won't say anything about how good it was *cough*FILMINKrocks*cough*. But seriously, I've found some various screenwriting ideas just by doing work experience there, so I might get onto that little project for the remainder of the 3 month holiday until Uni suffocates me with their insipid essay questions and incessant lectures on the evils of plagiarism.
A big thanks to Dov, Brian, Erin, Richard, Dina and the FILMINK crew for welcoming me there and showing me a world that actually functions before 12PM! I've learnt a lot and have expanded on my, "It's alright..." reviews I'm so notorious for. (I've now added, ".. it could've been better..." WOOT!)
Golden tip: Never underestimate the value of hard work or the witty repertoire of magazine editors. It might just lead you to where you need to be!
