First Review

My first published review came at the age of 11. It was of the film adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and in my opinion my review was useless. I was taken to the premiere at Leicester Square one night after school and afterwards was asked questions by a lady producing shorthand notes that I interpreted as doodles at the time. She used these to create my review and took my photo, I saw it published in the tabloid and was happy. However I should've said more about the movie, as an 11 year old however I did not realise I was reviewing a film until it was published and my answers reflected my initial reaction to the film, which was gripping. My column appeared on a double page spread opposite another boy who'd seen it with me. Since this naive review I have decided to start this blog, partly to make up for my piece back in 2005.
