Perhaps one of the most enjoyable writing assignments for students is the composition of a film review. For this course, this is the first assignment, arguably the easiest to get the creative thoughts and the great writing flowing. Film reviews are one of the most commonly and widely read forms of journalism and commentary in society. In this regard, you will be able to easily find many examples to draw inspiration from. Like most folks, I too seek out film reviews prior to viewing and appreciate it when the review contains intelligent, key commentary that provides me, the potential viewer. In this, a good review provides a reader with a solid understanding of the structure, stylistics, placement in the correct genre, content and overall quality of the film. As you compose your review, keep these key components in mind.
