I watch a lot of films and like Kevin I go to the cinema a lot, as well and reading and watching a lot of tv too. I became a critic for two reasons: one because I feel like my family, friends and work colleagues don’t geek out as much as I do, so I find having critical conversations about films etc rather difficult. And two because my family were sick of me saying most films I went to see were “rubbish” (not every film I promise) so I thought I’d share my opinion with hopefully like minded individuals, as well as reading everyone else’s opinion too. It also encourages me to elaborate on how I feel about films and really think about and explain why I did or didn’t like it.
As far as being an influencer it’s early days, but I’d agree with Andy. I often read reviews that prompt me to want to watch or read something I wouldn’t have done otherwise, so I’m hoping my reviews would do the same for someone else!

I've been a big film fan for a long time now. I used to get dvds by post for Lovefilm and got through a lot of direct dvd releases that people might not know about. I started to research earlier films of my fave actors to check out. I used to be on Flixster which had a community side. Kinda like Facebook for film fans. You could make up your own quizzes, polls, lists etc. I became a super reviewer on there.
I like to just give an honest opinion on films I see and usually keep my reviews fairly short but like to suggest "More like this" so others can find films they will enjoy they might not even know about. With that site closing down a few years ago I started on here. I'm an unlimited card holder for cineworld, have Sky cinema and Netflix so get through a lot of films.
As an influencer now I'm thinking of different things I can do, more lists, pointing out films on TV that some might like. Hoping people find my reviews helpful 😊

Great concept (0 more)

Extremely difficult, even for pop culture junkies! (1 more)

Very little in the box

A good time filler at board game parties before the real games start just not one that people would request or play through the night. Still a good party game if you can find it second-hand somewhere
