As a teenager I had my share of problems just like any other, but I was different… special. My mind was not at ease telling my parents or friends about a situation that had occurred or even might occur. I didn’t feel that a journal was just as my feelings were hard to explain in ordinary English. I had to find a way to express my love and hate about certain subjects, no matter how large or small.

This is one job that every single one of us has been training for our entire lives. Your willingness to tell anyone who will listen that a particular movie was overrated or that a certain movie star's last performance was Oscar-worthy already makes you a movie critic. The only difference between you and pros is that they get paid for their opinions and their names are known world over.

Becoming a movie critic is easily accessible to everyone. All you need is a love of cinema, ability to write and share your opinions, and drive to parley your reviews into fame and fortune.

Stop The Presses

The fact of matter is that majority of newspapers aren't going to give you time of day without some previous experience. That is where Internet comes in. Your first step to becoming a critic is creating a web destination. Set-up a web site and post reviews to it on a regular basis. By doing this you will be able to hone your skills, discipline yourself to write regularly, and another added bonus is that you will gain a following of loyal readers. This is a must if you want to become a famous critic.

Spread Word

To really get your name out there you absolutely must syndicate your reviews. You can get your reviews on other web sites in a number of ways, but two best and easiest are to:

1. Sign-up as a content provider at freesticky.com and sites similar in nature.

2. Join and submit reviews to following sites:
