Alex: You don't have any idea how to do this proposal. I'd rather do the whole thing myself!

Jamie: Oh, right - how will that make me look? You'd better think twice about edging me out.

Movie Review Six: A Time to Kill (2008)

Movie reviews consist of the following parts:

• Introduction, with title, leading actors, director, and release date

• Summary of the story

• Analysis of story elements - like rising action, climax

• Creative elements, use of color, camera techniques, mood and tone

• Your opinion of the movie. You need to go further than just saying that it was "good" or "bad." Think about the movie in terms of what you are learning in class and how it does or does not help you understand the concepts we are discussing.

• The reviews need to be analytic, as opposed to simply descriptive; by "analytic," I mean that the paper should seek to explain or understand something, and not just to describe it. You should watch the movies with a view toward what they can teach you about the course material. Must be written in APA including abstract, citations, and references. Mininum of 2 pages written.
