Some more older movie reviews, from the back catalog, are online again:
- Blues Harp [2005/03/03]
- Blue Spring [2004/06/06]
- Battlefield Baseball [2005/09/04]
- Battle Royale II: Requiem [2004/05/04]
- Battle Royale [2004/04/04]
- Better Luck Tomorrow [2004/08/03]
- Birdy the Mighty [2006/05/05]
- Immortal (ad vitam) [2005/06/06]
I'd have them up faster, but several things conspire to make it difficult:
- The raw text for many older reviews are not in the proper format and have to be cleaned up by hand, which takes time.
- The pictures also have to be gathered together and relabeled. (I didn't use the most consistent naming scheme for the images originally.)
- Amazon product links for some of these titles don't exist or are only available in other countries, so I have to search that much more for them.

FWIW, have you ever checked out Zemanta? That might help when it comes to the Amazon linkage. It's one of the things I've been using on Kittysneezes, and it helps with that and other background-type links. For longer pieces like interviews, I still end up doing by hand, but it makes things easier for shorter, review-types. The thing I like too, is that it has the "related links" thingy at the bottom where you can choose stuff for networking. I don't know if it's helped with getting traffic to my site, but I can at least pretend, I suppose. (You can also set it up to pull from your blogroll first, too.)
The link's http://www.zemanta.com/ -- for Joomla, I had to get a plugin, but for MT, I think there're a few different options. It might be worth looking into, anyway -- I've had pretty good luck with it.

I actually did try out Zemanta - it comes included with current installations of Movable Type -- and I found it more obtrusive than useful. I prefer to just tag things by hand; the automated tagging-and-linking plugins I've tried all end up producing results which are like those horrible context-sensitive ad-linking systems. (I've designed a bunch of backend stuff in MT that makes contextual linking pretty easy.) But thanks for the thought!
