Introduction to Film Appreciation

The film reviews that you are doing for this class must be at least 250 words. This is a critical review of the movie. You are the critic.

Each review is not a summary of the movie. You are telling your audience your opinions about the movie. Some details of the movie will be in the review, but you are not summarizing the movie.

You should be describing the details of the movie that stood out most to you. If you didn't care for the movie, describe the areas in which you felt it fell short. If you liked the movie, describe the parts that made the movie good for you.

These blog entries must be written in academic English. That means complete sentences, correctly spelled words (use spell check), correctly spelled names (use IMDB.com) and correct grammar. Movie (critical) reviews must be at least 250 words. Give your fully detailed opinions about these movies and detailed reasons why you feel the way you do. Do not summarize the movie. Writing that a movie is funny is not enough. If you are writing about a movie that you found to be funny, then describe exactly what made the film funny, and why it was so funny to you. Broad generic descriptions of anything in your blog are unacceptable.

Be specific in your opinions and the details that substantiate your opinions. Write in complete sentences/paragraphs. Use correct grammar. Above all else, use the spell check function.
