The job I would probably be best at is a movie critic, though I really don't know everything there is to becoming one or being one, can anyone name any movie critics I might be able to contact that you think are really good? (living of course, preferebly female)

I know being a movie critic isn't a big cake walk, I understand it involves a lot of hard work and a bunch of crap to put up with, but I'm still willing to be one, if not a movie critic then some other kind of one.

When I was younger, I actually wanted to do the same thing. My idea was to start my own reviews of movies, print them, share them with friends, family, co-workers. Then, move on to the local newspaper - show them that I've been reviewing for a while and hopefully it would grow from there. But to be big from the start, I'm sure you'd probably need a journalism degree. Further, just think of all the CRAP you'd have to watch! That became one of my deciding factors of not going with it.

Hi azkid678,
Check out RottenTomatoes for a listing of various critics:

If you'd like to be an amateur critic and compete with other movie fans, check out the Ain't It Cool web site, join up, and put in your two cents:
