Introduction

We wanted to create an awesome site for reviewing your favorite movies. As a user on the site, you can add movies and reviews and even upvote or downvote reviews. Due to the sheer volume of movies, a user can use the search bar to find their favorite movies. When a review is added to a movie you added, you will be sent a persoanlized email that also includes some recent news from the 38 Stahs team. As a user, you can also personalize your profile with a unique username and profile picture. We at the 38 Stahs team believe this kind of personalization will bring our little community together in new and exciting ways. If you visit the root page of our site, you will see a real-time auto-updating page of the most recent reviews.
