Answers:
As a movie critic myself, I can tell you: You do not have to move to Hollywood!. However, it's a lot easier to be a movie critic in a big city, where there are lots of other critics and movies are likely to be screened for the group in advance, and where there's enough of an art-house audience that independent movies open there sooner rather than later (or not at all)!.
That said, it's tough to become a movie critic these days!. Newspapers everywhere are laying critics off, not hiring them!. You can freelance, or you can write for online sites that pay little or nothing, but full-time staff critic jobs are almost nonexistent now!. The plus side is, thanks to the Internet, you can write a review from anywhere and post it so that readers from everywhere can see it!. Getting enough credibility so that the studios will screen movies for you in advance -- and getting paid to write about them -- that's another story!. Good luck!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
