New Year

CHOPPING MALL 2011

Well, I don’t think there’s any point denying that the 2nd half of 2010 was pretty disastrous in terms of keeping this blog updated… Five posts in as many months? And one of those was a post saying that I hadn’t been posting enough, a post where I promised all sorts of exciting film reviews that I then never wrote.

Part of the problem, it would appear, is that I watched too many films. Early in the year I set myself the goal of watching 365 different films in the year and, though I did manage that, the goal did rather take over a lot of my free time - time that I would and could (and should?) have spent writing about films here.

Episode V: Chopping Mall Strikes Back

We’re back.

It’s been a long, long absence but - like many a zombie - the fact that Chopping Mall looked dead didn’t mean that it was dead. Not at all.

Instead, Chopping Mall returns refreshed, renewed and reinvigorated for a new year, nay, a new decade of exciting, gorey, thrilling films. I plan to broaden the scope of the blog a little; wheras previously it was almost all reviews, with the occasional special news piece, the new year should welcome in a little more film criticism, cinema news and history and all sorts of exciting fun.
