Default Bold Format Title

I have a problem. I have over 150 pages of movie titles and descriptions. The Title is about 10 to 40 characters long then a paragraph mark, then on the next several lines (4 to 10) is the description, then a paragraph mark, another paragraph for line spacing. Then another Title. See Below,
I want to Bold the title, any suggestions. About 150 pages with 6 titles on each, that is 900 titles to BOLD.

You could try a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = <[A-Z ]{1,}[0-9]{2,3} MI[!^13]@^13
Replace = ^&
with the replacement font set to bold. However, it would be better to use a suitably-defined paragraph Style (e.g. a Heading Style) for the replacement instead of simply formatting the replacement as bold. Aside from making the document easier to maintain and less susceptible to corruption, it would also facilitate the creation of a Table of Contents.

Expanding on Paul's suggestion that you use styles, here are some resources:
Why use Microsoft Word’s built-in heading styles? by Shauna Kelly
Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word

Using Word for a major project without using styles is shooting yourself in the foot.
