I worked at a movie theater for two years and because of that, I really enjoy movies and talking about them and analyzing them, but I also love other forms of entertainment like music, television, books, sports, etc.
If I had a blog that I wrote so other people could see what I am about and what my passions are, I would want to do a blog about entertainment and all its facets. While movies would be my focus and writing about movies most often and in the most detail, I would also want to graze over the other forms of entertainment too. I enjoy them all, as do most other people in today's culture so entertainment, while it is a broad subject is very relevant and it peaks the interest of today's generations.
Being a college student is hard on my passions. First of all, I do not have the money to see all the movies I want to see when I want to see them. Secondly, I do not have the time to go out and buy all I want, do all I want, or see all I want. As much as I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to blog about the most recent movie I went out and saw and maybe even write a review for it, the most recent movie I have seen is The Adjustment Bureau, which has been out for about a month already. I saw it even before that though at a free screening (thank God Biola is so close to Hollywood!) Either way, I could definitely talk about that because it is so relevant, not only to the entertainment industry, but to Christians.
The Adjustment Bureau features Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, who are legends in their own right. Emily Blunt has been nominated for three Golden Globes and has won one in her roles in The Devil Wears Prada, Young Victoria, and Gideon's Daughter. Matt Damon has been nominated for Golden Globes, Emmys, and Oscars, and is best known for his role in the Bourne series and his Oscar winning role in Good Will Hunting.
The combination of these two professionals acting in a movie which boils down to fate vs. freewill makes for a very interesting movie.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI know you have a passion for films, but to keep honing your chops as a content reviewer, I would like to suggest to you that you review TV shows. Like tonight Fox premiered a new show called Mobbed with Howie Mandel. Since it premiered tonight, you could have watched it and then immediately reviewed it. That way your review will get picked up in that network's press clippings. You will get noticed.
Also, you could live blog as well - I do that for special events. Or you can comment via twitter. But start getting in this space and being known as a critic. I just want to encourage you. We could review something together too. That would be fun.
You could also review Biola's theater productions. There's lots you can do!
But more importantly, keep writing. You have a knack for it.
Please stay in touch.
All My Best,
Cindy
