I will make this short and simple. Will I have to have special permission to review movies? The reviews will be video about 5 - 10 min. It is also non profit, if we have sponsors, they will only sponsor the website.

Thanks
 
contact the films publicity dept., PR, and/or studio.

No, you don't need studio permission to review a movie. Only if you plan on using footage from a movie in your videos, then you will have to get permission depending on how much is used. But, double check. I think that there may be a "fair use" doctrine that allows you to use up to 30 sec. of a film or television show if it is for educational purposes.

Double check that, but it sounds close to right.

Otherwise, it's basically news, which falls completely under fair use doctrine. If you want to review a movie on your own video, then you are more than welcome to do so.
