"Hi there! I'm Amy Wallace on behalf of Expert Village and today I am going to be discussing how to be a good movie critic or more importantly, how to start out as a movie critic with a budget. After you shut off your DVD or left the theater, don't rush home to write your review. It is always good to reflect on anything that we have seen. In order to give a proper treatment. If we enjoyed or laughed at a movie a lot, laughed at a comedy, we might find later on even within the next few hours that we don't feel the same way. Again, after a couple of hours of reflection, it is always good to take a couple of hours or even a day or two before you sit down and write your review. Prior to this reflection, be sure to make a couple of notes that you are worried that you might forget about. This is very important and when you flip back into your notes, you will be able to find where you left off and what it is about the film that had held you at the time. It is also good to reflect then you are able in your mind to connect that film with other films that you have seen and compare them. "
