Work in Progress of the new Website

Blog Update for My New Website

Hey everyone!


Notice anything different looking? If the answer is yes, that may be because iCritic officially has a new website. It will take time to upload old reviews, and there are still a few things that need to be cleaned up here and there. Ultimately, though, I like this new design much, MUCH better than the old one, and I want to thank Steven for all the time he has put into the site (check out his companies credentials at the Partners link above).


Alright...let's get back to talking about movies again.
