Blogging the "But"

My review did feature a "but" in the first paragraph when I (a little awkwardly) stated that " The buzz surounding Gran Torino is well-grounded with Clint Eastwood directing and starring and the National Board giving Nick Schenk an award for the Best Original Screenplay but even with all engines revving, Gran Torino couldn't win the race. Simply meaning that Gran Tourino didn't perform as well as it could have.

Other things I would consider changing would be cutting out a portion of my overview of the story so that I could add a lot more analysis on the characters, actors, cinematography and soundtrack. Overall, for my first review, I don't think that it was awful but it definitely was not the best review I've ever read. Also throughout there are some small grammar errors which I will make sure to correct things like that in future reviews.
