For this assignment, I read the movie review titled, "The Dark Night (Surp)rises," by Aanchal Johri, which was posted on Silver Chips Online. The review begins with an introductory statement setting the tone of the review and implying that the writer enjoyed the movie. The reviewer focuses on the plot throughout most of the review, then goes on to critique the character development. Johri then goes on to talk about the cinematographic aspects of the movie for a paragraph, discussing topics such as the soundtrack and car chase scenes. The opinions are focused on in the end of the review, but a few opinionated statements are thrown in throughout the entire movie review. Dramatic aspects of the movie were never discussed. The tone of the movie review is critical at times, but mostly takes a casual tone.
Regarding the quarterly movie review, I believe that we should have as much freedom as possible in order to make the assignment enjoyable. The only requirement should be that the three aspects of film should be included, critiqued, and portrayed in some way. Other than that, there should be freedom as to the way we would like to write it. Also, instead of always having a typed movie review, we could tie it the assignment in to what we are learning in class. We could make videos to persuade others to watch the video we watched, for instance, when we learn about persuasion in class.
