I figured, I'm decent at writing (I'm an English minor), and I love watching movies. So I e-mailed the head editor and he sounded very interested in publishing my reviews.
So, the problem is, I've never reviewed movies before, but I usually take a critical look at every movie I watch. I figure it's only a matter of putting my thoughts into words and tada! I'm a movie reviewer.
Unfortunately, it's an unpaid position (with free movie tickets). However, I know something like this would look amazing on a resume, especially if I'm planning on working for a magazine or newspaper in the future.
I'll be typing up my first review today to send in a 'writing sample'. Please post any tips you have on reviewing movies in the comments section! Thanks guys =)
Pic unrelated, but that's what showed up when I googled 'movie reviews'

Movie reviews wherever they are HAVE to be epic. Grats and good luck. I say just be honest and try not to bring personal taste into it. Look forward to hearing more about it. :)
Sounds like a hot lead. Too add to what Rezden was saying: not only epic, but most reviews I read have some snarky one-liner like this common one, "The one good thing about this movie was that it was short."
So start stocking up on little sayings like that, and good luck! Free tickets are better than nothing!
you should check out internet movie database (imdb) for reviews.. there are some really great reviews on sooo many movies. maybe it will help you if you need inspiration ;-P
i like it your post. visit my blog
Hey, great news!
That will look excellent on a resume and you get to watch free movies. Can't beat that at all. Can't wait to see your review
This is great!
In reverend Cerimon there well appears Following!
tsssssssssss, do it :D!
Woo Hoo! grats. Even though it is unpaid, it opens the doorway to new careers in the field. And let's face it, you pretty have a dream job.
good luck I hope that you end up getting it. Movie reviews would be fun as heck to do.
That's really neat! I wish you the best of luck. I'm a writer, but I generally don't do structured reviews of movies or other things very often. I think you'll find what works best for you if you research the top movie critics. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, eh?
Good luck on getting that position!
Just be careful with spoilers, and always ask a friend to read the review first and tell you what he/she thinks. GOOD LUCK!
better get your popcorn ready
mmm cool!

Congrats, I hope it works out! :)
