Critics

1).  http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/movies/6195632-421/family-fare-movie-reviews-for-parents.html

     This is the first critic I found that I enjoyed, his name is Nell Minow.  I like the way he reviews his movies and the style in which he does it in.  He starts off by explaining why the movie is rated what it is by pointing out key examples of topics like: Language, Sexual Content, and Violence.  Next, he gives a recommendation of who he thinks should be allowed to see the movie, based on age.  Then, he talks about what a discussion of the movie could be like based on what happens in it, and finally, he lists other movies that are similar to the one that he is reviewing.  I like how he does this, because he is showing his opinions on the movie and then showing what the movie industry's opinion on the movie is.  Also, he doesn't give away to much information when talking about different parts of the movie.

     The second critic that I found to be interesting is Nick Hyman.  I like the way that he writes because he gets straight to the point about what he's reviewing while still being able to add some humor to the writing.  For example, when he was reviewing Cars 2 in the above article, all he talked about was the actors who are playing in it, the plot, and then the release date.  I also like how he puts a link to a Youtube video that is related to whatever he is reviewing for that article.  Another thing I like about his writing is that he puts in little interesting facts about whatever tv show or movie he is reviewing.  For example, when he was reviewing Cars 2 in the above article, he says that Pixar put in some characters in the movie that will probably be in the next movie made by them.

     The third critic that I chose is Andy Greene.  I like a lot of the reviewing that he does because he writes for one of my favorite magazines, which is Rolling Stone.  The way in which he reviews is that he first gives a brief bio on the artist or movie before he starts talking about it.  I love the way he talks about different songs, he seems to either know exactly what the song is about, or have his own way of describing how it sounds.  I think one of the reasons that I like him, is because he seems like he really enjoys the music that he is critiquing and puts a lot of thought into what he thinks about the album or movie before he knows what he wants to write down, which I think makes his reviews better than a lot of the other critics out there.
