Now with 100% more accessibility!

Greetings, loyal readers!

Those of you eagle-eyed surfers of the net may have noticed a slight overhaul going on last night here on The Cinema King. It all started with the 2009 season including MPAA ratings and explications; that's when I knew things might be changing around here.

But what we've added here ought to revolutionize the way you read The Cinema King. For a long time, Blogger has offered a feature called "Labels" (also known as "tags") that allows me to say briefly what each post includes. This feature had been heretofore ignored; most of my reviews are one-shot deals, with only a few select features getting the multiple post treatment (The Dark Knight... and that's about it).

Yet watching the Dirty Harry films, I realized a new potential for this feature. Labels/tags could easily enable readers to jump to similar reviews, be they similar with respect to genre, actor, franchise, rating, or decade.

Now you can do just that, loyal reader. In the sidebar on the right-hand side of the site, if you scroll down you'll encounter (in this order) "Welcome!", "About Me," "Blog Archive," and now "Labels." Hopefully this new feature will allow for greater interactivity, accessibility, and overall ease and enjoyment. You can now quickly jump to films within the decade, within the genre, with similar MPAA ratings, with similar actors or crew members, or just simply find movie titles alphabetically rather than in the order in which they were reviewed. You can also sort by "movie reviews" only or look at all the "announcements," "links," and "videos" posted here.

If there's a label you'd like to see on this site, let me know! I relish the comments you loyal readers feed me. Happy viewing!
