   I'm new to WordPress, and I'm doing my best to figure out how to use custom post types the way that I want. Here's what I'd like to do:

   1) Create a static "Movie Review" page that has some intro text. Below the text I would like a list of all my reviews, as well as the ability to search by actor, genre, etc.

   2) I created a "Movie Review" Custom Post Type in order to create individual movie reviews, but how do I identify that each individual movie review should be displayed in the list on the main review page?

   I'm a .NET programmer, and the way I typically do this is to have a page that displays a gridview that pulls from my "Movie review" table. I'm trying to adapt to a WordPress backend, and it seems like the process should be easier than this.

   Any help is appreciated!

   Read up on custom post types in the Codex - http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types - http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types

   It seems to me this would be easy:

   $args = array( 'post_type' => 'movies or whatever', 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
   $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
   while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
   	the_title();
   	echo '<div class="entry-content">';
   	the_content();
   	echo '</div>';
   endwhile;
