To what extent would you...

...say that online Film Reviews are postmodern?

1. Are online reviews inter-textual or bricolage? Why?

This depends if the film in question was an adaptation of another media text. A online film review
can be inter-textual because a film review is only using the film to create it which is the characteristic of inter-textual. but if the film was made from a book lets say, the review can then be bricolage because you would review/compare the book to the film and vice-versa.

2. how dose online reviews relate to baudrillards theory of simulacra?

Online films reviews could be effected by simulacra because the person or people doing the review opinion's could be swayed by other reviews they have seen pointing things out they didnt notice first time round, or they might present there review in a similar way to other reviewers. We where looking at Spill.com they do there reviews as a group in video form, which is something done by many online reviewers, But something they do different is that they have animated versions of themselves in the video. Reviews can have elements of other reviews in them but they can put an original spin in it.
