the evolution of my movie reviews

The Evolution of my Movie Reviews: I have been writing reviews now for a little over a year after a Facebook friend suggested that people would read them if I wrote them. I began with only one extended paragraph which didn't even include a summary of the plot.

After some other recommendations from family and friends, I gradually introduced other features including the genre, stars, running time, parental advice, additional scenes during or after credits, link to trailer and publicity poster.

A colleague asked if I could also include the Australian censorship rating but since I have readers around the world, this would be considered meaningless to them so I think the parental advice summary is adequate.

I have thought about writing longer reviews but this would take me at least one hour to write each one and this would eat into my work time.
