Welcome back everyone, believe it or not we have reached the end of our movie reviewing journey. Over the past five weeks, I have reviewed four romantic comedies using a grading scale of criteria I developed. Throughout this process, I have learned and I find desirable in a romantic comedy and more about myself than I initially expected. Additionally, I have also been able to learn about the process of movie reviewing and areas where it is important to emphasis personal opinion to the reader. Prior to this experience, I had never formally reviewed a movie. Through involving myself in this personal project, I have found a new hobby and appreciation for movies as a whole. Since starting this project, I have seen 7 movies in theatres that are unrelated to this topic and loved all of them! One aspect of this journey I participially enjoyed was the sense of community that came through writing these weekly posts. It was wonderful to have peers, friends, and family inquire about my thoughts on the film pick of the week. It has been a joy to recommend movies I have enjoyed to my peers, I feel closer to them as a result. In the future I hope to continue reviewing movies and I look forward to sharing and documenting the process.
