August 2015 End Of The Month Report!

| | | We pretty much took August off. Tomorrow, we'll start posting again with the usual regularity, but in August, we had a bit of an existential crisis (which will be the subject of a blog post tomorrow!) and took the month off after a few days to focus on some more important things. But, there was a little work done in the blog in August.

This month, we picked up several new followers on Twitter, but no new subscribers! We are always trying to get people to become regular readers and subscribe, so if you enjoy what you're reading, please subscribe by clicking on the right side of the blog to get updates with each posting. As well, if you read a review that really affects you, be sure to "share" it! PLEASE share a link to the blog, not the content of the article; this keeps people coming to the site and, hopefully, liking what they find once they are here! We're slowly growing our readership, so sharing and subscribing to the blog is an important way you can help! If you’re subscribing, please tell your friends about the blog!

In August, the index pages were not updated at all. Still, the primary Index Page, which we try to update daily, lets you know what the featured review is and has an up-to-the-day tally of how many reviews have been reviewed in each category! Check it out!

If you enjoy the reviews, please consider clicking on the links in the reviews and purchasing items. We really appreciate all the purchases made through the blog as that keeps us going. As back to school shopping hits full swing, if you're going shopping online, please come through the blog to to it. Thank you so much!

The Featured Reviews For The Month of August is the review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation!
Check it out!

The month of August had a little movement within the month and was dominated by (predictably) older reviews! For August, the Top Ten Reviews of the month were:
10. Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal
9. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - Season 1
8. The Walking Dead - Season 3
7. Arrested Development - Season 4
6. Fantastic Four
5. Talking Labyrinth Jareth Figure
4. Expelled
3. Jenny's Wedding
2. The Top Ten Episodes Of Star Trek: Voyager
1. The Top Ten Episodes Of Frasier

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 - 315 reviews
9s - 461 reviews
8s - 891 reviews
7s - 992 reviews
6s - 920 reviews
5s - 1168 reviews
4s - 865 reviews
3s - 689 reviews
2s - 319 reviews
1s - 216 reviews
0s - 101 reviews
No rating - 95 articles/postings

While there was a decent amount of movement this month, the all time Top Ten remains unchanged. At the end of August 2015, the most popular reviews/articles continue to be:
10. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
9. Safe Haven
8. Oz The Great And Powerful
7. The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bone
6. Warm Bodies
5. Iron Man 3
4. Now You See Me
3. Tyler Perry's Temptation
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
1. Man Of Steel
