Sweet popcorn and a diet fanta's usually enough for me. I don't have to be hungry because the popcorn just gives me something to do with my hands during the movie. I went to see Dog Soldiers the other day without buying popcorn and I bit my fingernails (and the skin under my fingernails) to shreds.
I'm a real fidget. 🙄
First of all, you basically must have an above average knowledge of film making. Start to watch films in a critical eye and don't just pay attention to the use of camera angles- looks at themes and content too.
Once your happy, begin to write a few reviews and post your best to local papers etc. If they accept you, your up and running.
With local papers, you must have patience. Editors tend to cut your reviews to fit in with their guidelines and sometimes they may look dreadful and amateurish.
Then, you just work your way up the ladder but to do that, you MUST be PUSHY.
You must knowledgeable, brave and smart to be any kind of critic as sometimes you really make comments you wish you never do. Never be judgemental either like that twat Jonathan Ross either.
