Continuing Your Online Movie Critic Role

Weblog Assignment for the week of March 18-24
Chose a movie you like—or better yet one of your favorite. Make sure your target audience has not seen it. Blog a review for the film. Make the case of why your audience should see it while following the established protocol for crafting a review. Some of the films you can consider, but you’re not limited to include:

• 8 ½ (1963)
• American History X (1998)
• The Bicycle Thief (1948)
• Casino Royale (2006)
• Children of Men (2006)
• Dark City (1998)
• Dreams (1990)
• Happy Gilmore (1996)
• The Host (2006)
• Nashville (1975)
• The Passion of the Christ (2004)
• Pi (1998)
• Pulp Fiction (1994)
• The Rapture (1991)
• Saw (2004)
• The Shawshank Remdemption (1994)
• The Third Man (1939)

Again, one of the new goals of this review is to convince your target audience the film you’re recommending is worth seeing.









Finally-- We have discussed how movies are changing (or at least going to the movies). Now consider how the web is changing the role of the movie and the movie critic. How can the viewer become empowered-- beyond text? Consider what some folks are doing with audio & video.
