And thank you for clearing up some of my questions of this new review maker. I found it to be an exceptionally powerful tool.  No problem, just PM me again if you have any other questions. I'll still make you the cover, banner, and front-page rotator images. Yeah, the editor should accommodate everything a reviewer would need. I do need to buy the full version so that the images you are uploading for your review can go into a subfolder, otherwise uploading pictures and then finding them will be chaos.

Will this review be available for preview? Or will we just have to wait for the unannounced release date?

My Dreams review is complete! So how do I make it visible? Do I change the status from Inactive to Active?

If the review has been spellchecked and the fields have been filled out with the correct info, then yes. I do need to make a rotator image, a cover image, and a banner, but other than that, you're good to go.

Sorry for not posting this live just yet, ONOE, I've spent my busy nights on Dante VS Rau. I WILL HAVE THIS LIVE LATER TONIGHT! (shit like this is why I built the editor in the first place  ) Edit: It's live.

Another good review although it is unfortunately one of your weaker. I don't want to criticize too harshly, but there were a few problems I saw with Dreams. The first is a departure from your usual review style as you went into great deal on the plots of each dream rather than exploring the elements that made the film worth exploring, as you have done in past reviews such as Limbo and Vampire Hunter D. While you do give your impressions of each dream, it brings me to my second small complaint. It is very apparent which dreams you enjoyed the most because you explore their significance more deeply than others. I'm not disappointed in your review but I felt that it was inconsistent with not only your earlier reviews, but that the review was inconsistent with itself. But regardless of the entire film being summarized in your review, I get the feeling that Dreams is a film to be experienced instead of just a story to be told, and I will search for a copy, and then perhaps I will revisit your review with a different impression.

Thank you for being honest. And I do acknowledge that Akira Kurosawa's Dreams is not my strongest review but it is a hard movie to review. I also ran out of energy to write around the act "Crows" so maybe you picked up on that. And now that I am able to write whatever I want with the editor, what should I write about?
