From NPR website: 10-Year-Old Movie Critic Perry Chen Becomes a Star Himself Ten-year-old Perry Chen of San Diego is making a name for himself as a film critic with his Web site, PerrysPreviews.com. The precocious youngster recently gave DreamWorks' new animated film, How to Train Your Dragon, 4.5 starfish out of 5, calling it "perrific" — a word he coined by combining his name with "terrific." Perry tells NPR's Liane Hansen he uses starfish to rate movies instead of stars to be more "kid-friendly." "Because I'm a kid, actually." ....... ------------------ To listen to Perry's full NPR interview with Liane Hansen, enjoy Perry's review and dragon drawing, and post comments on Perry's feature, visit: http://www.npr.org/ On March 26, 2010, Perry also became Animation World Network’s (AWN.com) youngest blogger to provide a child movie-watcher’ http://www.awn.com/ “Perry will provide Animation World with the unique perspective of a 10-year-old boy who at an early age developed a love and appreciation of cinema well beyond his years.
