Term 4 Assignment #3 Movie Review

Bowling For Columbine - Review



You have been hired by a national magazine to write a review of the film. You will need to grab the readers' attention with a creative intro. Then summarize Michael Moore's main ideas. Describe the ways he attempts to make the film compelling. Make sure you discuss your opinion of his ideas and his methods. Should someone see this movie? What do you like about it? What don't you like?

You have probably read movie reviews before when you are deciding whether or not you want to see a film. Read a few different reviews, but this time focus on the writing in the review.

 Two sites to consider:

Roger Ebert: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews

Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT look at an old review of Bowling for Columbine. It makes it hard to be original. I've read most of them and remember that copying even a sentence is plagiarism and that would result in a zero.

This review should be three to five paragraphs. First or third person could work.
