I find them to be quite mediocre.

" like this movie because I can totally relate to Lyra. We both come from troubled families, we're both curious people, and even though she's 11 and I'm only 19, we're both short and intelligent for our ages. I also like the whole visual look of it and the Victorian setting (I'm also a big, history buff)."
You relate the review too much towards yourself which other people can't really relate to, unless they are very much alike themselves. Try to broaden your horizons, don't make everything about "you", but rather the readers who are actually reading the reviews.

"a organization"
You also have some grammatical mistakes, such as using "a" instead of "an".

Also, remember to not have spoilers in your reviews.

Thanks for the tip.

Also, my blog is more of a personal blog, not a professional one.
