Commentary Containing Books Writing About Movies
This is an excellent book for expanding the average high school English student's range to film critique. It contains all of what I try to teach my students about how to critique film, and more. The writing is pleasant and clear, without inflection, pandering, or academic jargon.A college or top-notch high school student should be able to tear through the book in about two hours--it is straightforward but verbose, and a 20 page version would have sufficed for good students.

This is a wonderful and succinct book on how to write an effective academic paper. Handy for writing about movies, to be sure, but this book will be helpful to anyone wanting a breakdown on how to write a variety of college papers.

Good read to get an in-depth look into how to analyze movies. I probably would not have read it if it wasn't a class requirement, but as far as required books go, it wasn't bad. I would probably read it again as a reference in the future if I needed to.

Great review! Good checklists.

First half is specific to film, the second can be found in any writing book. The glossary is the best tool given.

this was helpful, especially the 'illustrated glossary of film terms' (should add that I was a German student in a British media studies program, so I needed the vocabulary help)
