Regarding the number of visitors, ...Hi again YTSL,<br /><br />Regarding the number of visitors, are you referring to the no. of visits to your blog or no. of clicks on the actual reviews? I notice that readers can read the entire content of your posts (except the comments) without clicking on anything, so the number of clicks recorded may be much lower than the number of posts read.Samsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-69399206385533775112014-04-01T22:47:36.418+08:002014-04-01T22:47:36.418+08:00Hi again Samson --

And you are in a great position to let us know about films that we would otherwise not have seen or even heard of. Having said that, I really appreciate your reviews on the blog, even if there aren't that many of them!<br /><br />By the way, Samsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-10171261652324516672014-04-01T00:32:31.680+08:002014-04-01T00:32:31.680+08:00Hi djmblue --

Some things I couldn't quite figure out, what was supposed to happen at the skating rink, what the relationship between the woman and her boss. I liked it I think more because it was a different location and had some local touches to it but most likely not going to run out and buy it when the dvd comes out. djmbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859153625728587291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-57247756186236357782014-03-31T20:42:15.131+08:002014-03-31T20:42:15.131+08:00Hi Samson --

The thing though with film reviews is that, well, they take quite a bit of time and effort -- and are easier to write up on non-work than work days... ;SYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-41910699475320993802014-03-31T13:09:46.208+08:002014-03-31T13:09:46.208+08:00So glad to see that I am not the only one who enjo...So glad to see that I am not the only one who enjoys reading your film reviews.

I'm (re-)discovering that writing about the films helps me to mull and muse about them -- and in the process better realize my reactions to them (hence a few ratings revisions already thus far!).YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-10865378459667709612014-03-31T01:18:50.355+08:002014-03-31T01:18:50.355+08:00Hi ytsl,
