Hello, internet! Welcome to my blog, Critical Girl! My name is Madeline Glanton, but feel free to refer to me as Maddie. I am a sophomore at Texas State University and I am majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Theatre. The first thing you should know about me is that I am a nerd. I am a MASSIVE nerd. There are many topics that peak my nerdy interests like mythology, books, and many other things, but no topic quite captures my interest like movies. I am obsessed with all things movie related. I know tons of useless movie trivia, I am the first of my friends to know about casting decisions and the intensity in which I react to entertainment news is a bit over-the-top. I do not discriminate when it comes to movies. I’ll watch it ALL: Rom-Coms, Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Drama, etc. I’ll always give a genre a try. I have a crazy collection of movies, especially for a college student. I mean, who even uses DVDs anymore when there are streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus to scroll through?… Apparently me.

This all being considered, it was a bit of a no-brainer that my blog topic needed to be about movies. Now you might be wondering, what will my blog cover when it comes to movies? Well, I’m so glad you asked. My blog will consist of three types of posts: Reviews, Lists, and News. The review type of posts will be my opinion on specific movies after I see them for the first time. I will try to limit these reviews to current theater releases, but I may review classic movies that I haven’t seen yet. The list type of posts will be kind of like Spotify playlists, but for movies. Do you need a list of movies to watch when you’re feeling sad or when you’re in a good mood? This is the page to look at. I will make a list of movies for every mood and situation. The last but not least type of post I will be posting is that of movie news. This will be me sharing news stories happening in the movie industry and my opinion on that said news. An example of said type of post is the list of Oscar winners, my reaction to them, and who I would’ve picked to win.

There are no limits to what I will include in my posts going forward. I am open to using GIFs, videos, polls, voice memos, etc. The options are endless! Also, if my blog posts aren’t enough movie content for you, I also post a lot about movies on my Twitter page. If you want to be told when I post on my blog, either follow my Twitter or subscribe to my blog on the Home page.

This should be a wild ride. I hope you enjoy my content!

We are living in a critical world and I am a Critical Girl!
