A Brief Blog Profile: Frame by Frame
by Thomas Hynes
Frame by Frame refer to themselves as 'a family-friendly guide to the movies.' The site is run by a married couple. And they quickly point out that they review movies of all genres, from G to R ratings. The thought behind this blog is to give parents a realistic idea of what they can expect from different movies. And I get that. I don't have any children myself, but I did once watch 3 episodes of The Ali G Show with my grandfather. A little heads up would have gone a long way on that awkward night.
For the record, my grandfather found it all very funny. But there have been times where I would have liked a little warning. An episode of The Sopranos involving Tony's sister springs right to mind. Still, that experience was with all adults. I didn't have to give any children an explanation of what just happened on the screen. And it seems to me that's what Frame by Frame is hoping to alleviate. They're not film cops. And they're not prudes. They're parents looking out for other parents.
Now, don't get me wrong. This is still a movie blog. They've even got their own rating system. (The more Lloyd's the better!) They even publish box office returns on Monday mornings. Clearly, this is a site written by movie lovers. And don't worry, they'll tell you what to expect. They won't spoil the ending.
Oh and for the record, my grandfather found Ali G to be hilarious.

News Widget
Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
