Hello and welcome to Page & Screen! My name is Travis and I have been reviewing and writing editorials on various pop culture mediums for the last few years, first at StealthyBox.com as a video game writer and more recently on my wife’s blog (SoutheastByMidwest.com) doing book reviews. With her blessing, I have decided to strike out on my own and broaden my range of content.
What to Expect:
This will not be a standard entertainment news and review site. True, there will be movie, book, and television reviews (mostly seasonal recaps and major episodes). However, I don’t want that to be my primary focus. Do you really want to go read someone’s breakdown of each new episode of a TV show?
Instead, I will be sharing ways to save money while enjoying the entertainment that we love, exploring new things to watch on outlets like Netflix and Hulu, and generally giving my thoughts and perspective in the latest happenings of all three formats. Every now and then, I might share recipes for the treats or meals I like to have while enjoying a movie or a good book. I could even delve into music from time to time! A few giveaways now and then wouldn’t be unwelcome either, right?
Speaking of giveaways…
GIVEAWAY!!!
Since this is the launch of a brand new venture for me, I thought I would give YOU the housewarming present! One winner will receive a copy of The Shawshank Redemption, my absolute favorite movie, on Blu-Ray! Another lucky winner will win a copy of Smoke & Mirrors, the latest album from one of my current favorite bands Imagine Dragons, on CD (Remember those?)!
Just go and fill out the form below to get a free entry! There are a few extra things you can do to earn some bonus entries, so be sure to check those out as well. The contest will run until 11:59 PM (EDT) on May 3rd. I’ll draw two (2) winners. First name drawn gets first pick of prizes. The other winner will get the prize that was not chosen. Unfortunately, only United States citizens may enter.
I’m excited to start this journey with all of you and I hope you’ll keep coming back to read what I have say about what happens in entertainment, on both the Page and Screen!
