Go to this site, and BANG! Movie reviews. Television reviews. Occasionally music and book reviews. Other than the blog’s title (which is Scott Aaron Pepper), you learn very little about Scott Aaron Pepper. For example, why is he reviewing movies, television, music and books? Is he a high-school student doing this for credit? Is he a professional critic, posting his stuff to a personal blog? What city (or country) does he live in?
I guess what I’m saying is, I like to easily find information about the person whose blog I’m delving into. I understand that some people don’t want to do an entire Blogger profile on themselves, but a few words would suffice for those of us visiting the blog for the first time. It helps us, Scott. We want to know.
Upon further delving, it seems Scott does post these same reviews to blogcritics.org. From one of his sidebar links I discover that he’s a “Boston blogger,” thus I surmise he must be from Boston. He also has links to photos from the Democratic National Convention (held in Boston) in his sidebar, along with publicity film posters and book jackets linked to recent reviews of movies, books, and so on. It may be a standard blogger template, but it’s done very well.
I genuinely enjoyed reading Scott’s reviews. They are smart, well-researched, objective, and informative. On some days he will post “So-and-So television Show to Premiere Tonight” and include articles and previews from So-and-So show. Then later in the day, he will post his review. Since you see the most recent post first in a Blogger format, this is a tad redundant. Being that readers presumably aren’t checking his site every 2-3 hours, they will certainly read the review first and then scroll down and lo, and behold, there is the “Don’t Miss the Premiere of…” post. Perhaps he could wait until the next day to post the review to avoid this deja vu all over again.
The only time you get a hint of what Scott likes personally is reading his earliest archived posts and his American Idol recaps. His more recent posts are all strictly reviews (or previews). I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Scott has an affinity for Jennifer Garner, due to the sheer number of posts regarding anything she’s ever had anything to do with. He remains objective, however, admitting that Daredevil was a really crappy movie.
I would give this site a higher rating if it just told me more about Scott Aaron Pepper.
