Day after day,
Elite Daily posts blogs, articles and trailers about all sorts of up and coming
movie and television premiers as well as some blog posts about what those stars
are up to. One of Elite Daily’s
contributing writers, Veronica Grossman, posts a majority of the
above-mentioned reviews and blog posts.
In my opinion, hers are the reviews we should be reading. She writes them in such a way that
reaches out to “Generation Y”. Veronica
knows what our generation wants to read in a review; instead of reading long
boring reviews with no “umph” in them, she provides short, sweet and sometimes
hilarious reviews. She uses
our language and not only writes what you would typically expect to see in a
review but adds a little something extra.

She starts with drawing us in with clever, and amusing titles, like “This Short Horror Film Will Ruin Your Chance Of Sleeping InUnder 3 Minutes” (which it did, so she was right) and “These New Clips From‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Will Leave You Either Really Excited Or ReallyConfused.” Then most of her
reviews have videos to go along with them, most of which are trailers. Used to pull you in a little more and
undoubtedly make you want to see the movie or TV show if you haven’t done so
yet. Those two features alone,
especially the videos really resonate with Generation Y. We’re a very visual generation, if we
can watch a video about something rather than read about it, we’re all for it.

When she finally
gets down to it in her reviews, Veronica gives us everything from the story
line, to character development and then even a little gossip from the sets here
and there. But with all of those
elements, her reviews are nothing if not short, sweet and to the point. I don’t know how she does it. In her (short) reviews she’ll tell you
her professional opinion about a film, “The “X-Men” franchise
has the uncanny ability to make sequels, prequels and even prequels to sequels
without ever ruining the series…The film series just keeps getting better and
the most recent installment, “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” seems like it will
be following in its predecessor’s footsteps.” Then with the little something extra, she’ll add amusement
and gossip, “I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every “X-Men” movie to
date, from the very first all the way to “X-Men: Wolverine” (I mean who didn’t
enjoy that one? Hugh Jackman was half-naked the whole time).” This is something you don’t see very
often in any normal review, which is why I choose reading hers over anyone else’s
you might see on Rotten Tomatoes or a different website. The fact that she writes her reviews in a way that reaches out to our generation is both different and significant. I would suggest reading her reviews to anyone who doesn't enjoy reading those other long and unexciting reviews.
