Reviews for movies are readily available through newspapers, magazines, blogs,
and other print sources. Metacritic.com provides full reviews for a
multitude of movies.
Find a review for a film, preferably one that you
have seen. According to the distinctions made in Chapter Ten, how is the
reviewer approaching the film. To what degree does the review acknowledge the
public perception of the film? What evidence does each review provide to
illustrate main points and claims? Do any words or phrases capture the essence
of the reviewer’s attitude toward the film?
Additionally, please share
with the class exactly which sources you rely on, as a member of the general
audience, to evaluate whether or not you will see a movie.
Your initial
post should be at least 150 words in length. Support your claims with examples
from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite
any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
