1. I annotated a movie review by Aanchal Johri titled, "The Dark Knight (Surp)rises)." The review was published by our school's newspaper "Silver Chips."
This particular movie review was very structured and written in an easy-to-follow format. The author begins the review with a short but powerful introduction including his general opinions on the movie. The introduction is immediately followed by an overview of the movie's plot with some additional information on the two previous movies in the trilogy without giving away any important information. Next, the author gives a general introduction of his specific opinions on the actors followed by more specific examples. Lastly, the author reviews the cinematographic aspects of the movie and ends the review with a short conclusion in which he highly recommends the movie to anyone who has yet to see it. The overall tone of this review could be described as admiring and enthusiastic. Amid all the praise, however, the author fails to make any mention of the incredible lengthiness of the movie.
2. Our quarterly movie review assignment should allow CAP students a fair amount of freedom while still keeping some sort of structure. I think it should be something along the lines of we get a list of topics we need to touch on (e.g. the acting, the plot, etc) but then its up to us to decide how we want to format it. Also, the movie reviews shouldn't be too long; probably longer than a paragraph but shorter than a full out essay.
