This month at W.L. Swarts Reviews The Universe, we broke even more records than last month! For the first time, one of the End Of The Month Reports had a real presence . . . the January End Of The Month Report barely missed being in the Top 10 for the month! There were multiple additions to the Top Ten Of All Time and our #1 rose by several thousand hits! February became the blog's most trafficked month by more than fifteen thousand hits, which is saying something because last month was such a huge leap over the prior months! Once again, big movie releases were what intrigued our readers most, though Oscar nominees accounted for many of the most-hit reviews of the month! This month, we put special emphasis on music reviews, in addition to the new cinematic releases! Thanks for all the "likes" for those posts!

I pride myself on being an exceptionally fair reviewer, but one who is very discriminating. I believe that most reviewers are far too biased toward both what is current and toward unduly praising things. I tend to believe most things actually are average and they ought to follows something around a Bell Curve. Mine is a little lopsided, but not as lopsided as most reviewers I know (who would probably have peak numbers between ten and seven!
For my reviews, the current count is:
10s - 272 reviews
9s - 391 reviews
8s - 694 reviews
7s - 775 reviews
6s - 693 reviews
5s - 920 reviews
4s - 647 reviews
3s - 525 reviews
2s - 232 reviews
1s - 157 reviews
0s - 79 reviews
No rating - 38 articles/postings
There was more movement in this month than almost any other since the blog started, and at the end of February, the most popular reviews/articles I have written are:
10. The Avengers
9. The Hunger Games
8. Jack The Giant Slayer
