How to Write a Movie Review
Writing a movie review is a great way of expressing your opinion of a movie.The purpose of most movie reviews is to help the reader in determining whether they want to watch, rent or buy the movie.The review should give enough details about the movie that the reader can make an informed decision, without giving anyway any essentials such as the plot or any surprises.Below are our guidelines and tips for writing a good movie review.Submit your movie review
1.Watch the movie
The first step in writing the review is to watch the movie.Watch the movie in a relaxed environment you are familiar with.You do not want to be distracted by an unfamiliar room.Watching the movie a second time will help you absorb a lot more detail about the movie.Most movie reviewers take notes as they watch the movie review.2.Give your opinion
Most movie reviewers will give their opinion of the movie.This is important as
the reviewer can express the elements of the movie they enjoyed or disliked.However, as in all good journalism, the reviewer should also give impartial details, and allow the reader to make their own mind over an issue the reader liked or disliked.Opinions should be explained to allow the reader to determine whether they would agree with your opinion.Many regular movie reviewers will develop a following.If one can find a reviewer who shares a similar taste in films, one can confidently follow the reviewers recommendations.3.Who is your audience?
You need to consider who your likely readers are.Writing a movie review for children requires a different approach than if writing for a movie club.Ensure you report on the factors that matter to your likely audience.4.Give an outline
Give the outline of the movie, but dont give away essential details such as the end or any surprises.If there is a big surprise you want to entice readers by telling them something special happens, just dont say what.5.Actors(演员)
If the movie contains actors, as most do, detail who is starring in the movie and how well you think they acted.6.Structure
Did the movie follow a regular predictable story line, or did it get you thinking like a Quentin Tarantino movie?
7.Cinematography and lighting(电影艺术和灯光效果)
Give details about how well the movie was shot and directed.Was the lighting good in the moody scenes?
8.Music
Did the movie have its own score like Koyaanisqatsi（失衡生活）or ET, or did it feature songs from popular artists?
9.Read, read and read
Read and check your review thoroughly.It can be embarrassing to find errors in your work after it has been published.This is especially important for reviews that will be published on the Internet, as search engines are always looking for the correct spellings of key words.Submit your movie review

侏罗纪公园3英文影评 Jurassic Park III(2001
“Jurassic Park III” is neither as dreadful as it might be, nor as perfectly wrought as it could be.For one thing, it moves along as jauntily as one of those horrific raptors scooting along the plain;the movie wraps itself up so quickly, and after such a relatively low-key climax, that you can barely believe its over.It runs about 90 minutes, and thats sweet relief.You can get your fix of dino effects(most of which are starting to look pretty familiar anyway, after the original “Jurassic Park” and “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”), with a few good jokes and interesting performances thrown in, and be on your way.One of the best things about “Jurassic Park III” is that it brings back Sam Neill, who starred in the original, and hes a distinctly human and humane presence.As the movie opens, we see Neills adventuresome paleontologist, Dr.Alan Grant, playing with the toddler of his former collaborator Dr.Ellie Satler(Laura Dern, in a nicely played cameo), who has settled down with an earnest, unexciting husband and is quietly raising their two kids.Neill plays the scene
beautifully: Hes half puzzled by the idea that anybody would want to settle down to a life like this, and half wistfully jealous that its just not for him.He has no desire to see any more live dinosaurs up close and personal.Nonetheless, he and his young assistant Billy(Alessandro Nivola)are reluctantly roped into an adventure expedition to Isla Sorna(the “Site II” from “The Lost World,” where the prehistoric horrors were bred in a flagrant expression of human arrogance), by Amanda and Paul Kirby(Téa Leoni and William H.Macy), a rich couple hankering for danger.Of course, they have another motive.But the bare-bones plot, from a script written by Peter Buchman, Alexander Payne(writer and director of “Election” and “Citizen Ruth”)and Jim Taylor(who co-wrote those pictures with Payne), is probably the last reason anybody would go to see it.What most of us want are dinosaurs, and there are just the right number of those here, from a flock of fierce pterodactyl-like pteranodons with mischievously knowing eyes, to the dreaded raptors(who always look to me as if they should be dangling old-lady pocketbooks from their disproportionately smallish, curled-over front claws).Although its probably still too intense for very small children, “Jurassic Park III” features a blessed minimum of torso chewing.The worst part is watching one of the raptors use a giant toenail to puncture the spine of a minor character played by Michael Jeter--hes too fine an actor to meet such a ignominious end.Another saving grace of “Jurassic Park III” is that it captures some of the wonder from the first picture.Director Joe Johnston(“Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,”“Jumanji”)is much more
low-key than his predecessor Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two pictures in the series.Thankfully, hes out to set us rambling and bumping on a scary-funny amusement park ride;he doesnt hammer on the whiskery old theme of man-playing-God, nor does he seem to take much pleasure in the requisite bloody chomping, even though he of course has to include some of it.And he offers us one extraordinary panorama that looks as if it had been lifted straight out of those softly colored educational picture books of the 50s and 60s, a group of peaceful
vegetarian apatosauruses against a purply pink Maxfield Parrish sky on the banks of a canal, chomping placidly on the plants they so love to eat.Dr.Grant and his group view the scene as they pass by it on a barge, and Neill plays the moment perfectly, like a man deep in love.Its as if a sight like this could make up for any number of dreadful dinosaur encounters.The other actors here are just as game.As Eric, a kid whos been stranded on the island, Trevor Morgan shows the kind of appealing resourcefulness thats always fun for kids to watch.Macy is more than serviceable in a throwaway role: He manages to give his cowardly-lion character a great deal of charm and comic texture.Leoni does the best she can with her
character, but theres not much to work with: She doesnt get a chance to use her best gift, a flair for snappy, screwball-comedy timing that sparkled in her short-lived TV show “The Naked Truth.”
Even so, Payne, Buchman and Taylor give us plenty of little things to laugh at along the way: Dr.Grant and Eric have a pleasingly tossed-off exchange as Grant incredulously holds up a bottle of T.Rex pee that Eric has collected.“How did you get this?” he demands.“You dont wanna know,” Eric deadpans ruefully.There are a few moments in the picture that are streaked with a sense of terror, scenes where you think the absolute worst is going to happen.But it never quite does.Theres a surprisingly delicate touch at work in “Jurassic Park III,” and the movie is marbled through with strands of acerbic wit.You might think that a filmmakers going to that much trouble in a “Jurassic Park” picture is like casting pearls before swine.What chance do pearls have under the feet of prehistoric giants? Miraculously, they survive the trampling intact, and theyre what you remember long after the last mighty footstep resonates.

The review of Hoodwinked
Last week I had watched a cartoon movie through the English learning center.The name of this movie I had told you in the title, but you’ll never guess the story of it which has very big difference between what we watched and read when we were young.I can’t ensure weather it is one of prototypeof the Grimm's Fairy Tales, I’m sure it’s an interesting cartoon movie.I write the essay to introduce some interesting points about the movie, of course included certain sentiment from my heart.Do you remember the hateful timber wolfthat always tends to hurt the little Red and her grandmother? And maybe you will ask me why I ask thisquestion.Now I give you the brief introduction of Hoodwinked.The grizzliesand stork agent bill was ordered to investigate little red riding hood grandmother's house in case Of unrest, many people are police on charges Of criminal suspects, allowing researchers to include karate master little red riding hood, funny and a satirical Wolf, a slightly dementia in the woods Of Paul Bunyan.They were accused of there are a number of charges, including: the damage and the illegal invasion, and undermine social stability, illegal steal to eat, no license to use the axe, etc.However, all accused the suspects have their own story to tell, and this has become complicated and confusing the truth of the case, the only one, who is the real murderer......The film is the first a fully independent investment shooting computer animation feature film.Follow is my thoughts about the movie.From the timber wolf police I know that we can’t judge a person by his or her appearance.The kind person not to grow good looking, but the bad person must be ugly.What’s more, we can’t wrong people before finding the final facts.The clever girl Red is an adventurous people.Little red riding hood will do deliciousdesserts,Will ride a bike, sing fair-sounding songs.If let me say who lay the deepest impression on my brain, the Red’s grandmother, is she.She is healthy, energetic, active, no longer that week old women.I believe the people who always take exercise will be more healthy than who that in the same age.Doesn’t she is the better example of it.The movie was directed by Cory Edward Cory Edwards.毛米兰

Never Stop Running
There is a provoking scene: “a piece of white and light feather is flying under the blue sky, and dropping down gradually to Forrest Gump’s feet who sit on the bench for bus.” Just like the feather is swaying with the wind, so is the human being’s life.Most of time, we are wondering everywhere without specific direction, goal and hope.What is more, we always look on life as tedious and even annoying.However, fate is mastered by our own, just like Forrest Gump devoted all his life to running for his own sky.“Each man is the architect of his own fate”, such is the remark made by one of the great figure.This remark has been confirmed by more and more people.Forrest t Gump is an outstanding example.As the film told us Forrest Gump, born with disable body, he is a good soccer athlete, an hero in Vietnam war , a captain own shrimp ship, a runner crossing the whole America.Asking yourself, who we are? What is the accomplishment that we can show off.Every one creates his or her own reality.We have absolute rights to describe our life.When you learned what you make of life is up to you and begin to live your life, you are able to design it according to your desires.To remember that success lies within you, in my own brain, my own ambition, and my own determination.One of the great figure remarked that unrest of spirit is a mark of life.This is the reflection of Forrest Gump’s life;he born with leg has disability.However, with astonishing speed, Forrest Gump entered the soccer team, then went to university and eventually graduates.Soon, he took part in the Vietnam War.In the Vietnam War, he is still remembered the words of Jeanne, ran his own life, honor and friendship.He just wanted to run;he used a running measure his life.As we all known, an optimistic is not a luxury;it is a necessity.The way you look at life will determine how you feel and how you perform.There is enough good and bad in everyone’s life.Think about Forrest Gump, at every stage of his life, he has only one goal in mind to guide him, and keep positive attitudes towards the world.In our lives ,though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, you should remember that your destiny is hiding behind them, to be optimistic and follow your dreams your ultimate goal is attainable so long as you commit are choosing to react positively to their diversities, tough times never last, but you should being positive.Life is a journey full of stumbling blocks, dangerous traps and unexpected crises, if you have known clearly what you want to be, it is optimistic, unrest of spirit and perseverance that carry you there.As far as my own experience as a student is concerned, nothing is more important than those merits in achieving success.Please keep running and never give up on yourself.人文与外国语学院 英语0904班 赵子龙 0912010404

the harsh prehistoric snowscape to reach the human herd.Ice Age”s CGI animation looks fantastic, although it does suffer when held up against Shrek and Monsters, Inc..Ice Age isn“t in the same league as its DreamWorks and Pixar competitors but it is an enjoyable and well executed film nonetheless.Although the story is somewhat generic, it”s delivered with great spiritthe poop jokes start early and keep coming.To be honest , i like Manny who let me understand what is ture love.we human guadulay become destoried to the world just as nowdays.Sid seems to be some lonely when we focus on his appearance.Sleeping too woke up, found that families all abandoned himself to join the migration, no trace to be found.such a being ignored sloths, alone to face the next life, is must have the courage and wisdom.Such a character indicated that in the development of the plot, will slowly.The role of the clumsy seems to be always funny.He will play to depend on, a mammoth lai, can protect themselves, it is a good partner.Love twitter, behind others ass, can leave the gushing.Sleeping of time also is not honest, pour over moving, love say talk in a dream.Sometimes have their own partner, also often can damage some wonderful atmosphere...such a careless habits and customs, but he is able to protect themselves at some critical moments, can has a strong presence in the partner, bring them fun, also

2.看了《疯狂原始人》，剧中的一句：no dark,nohide,no cave至今一直围绕在我的脑海中。另我很感动。我在想这样一部动漫作品不但3D效果逼真，还传递了这种勇于打破传统，勇于创新的正能量。不仅如此，片中情义深重。有父女之情，一个爸爸对青春期女儿的那份保护，那份依恋不舍，那种责任十分让人动情。还有爱情，女孩情窦初开对男孩的崇拜和爱慕，处理得很纯洁。还有老人对自己女婿宽容以至最后的认同，都跃然纸上，生动逼真。我今年20岁，这部影片让我既娱乐了身心，也给我很多人生的启迪，也许我现在还没有考虑到这么多，但潜移默化中给了我正确的教育。
生活是什么，总是伴着生命的价值是什么？存在主义的视角上说，存在本身就是一种价值。在很大程度上我认同这种观点，存在即是存在的价值。因为讨论价值，必须是在存在的基础之上；离开存在，是无法谈论价值。我们要先承认存在，而后再探究其价值。
活着就是在不断地追求一种信念中的明天。或许有些太理想化，人不会永远乐观，充满信念，但除了形而上之维，要建构存在的价值，离开信念中对于生活的追寻，确实很难找到一个令人信服的理由。
更加抽象地说，生活本身就是一种信念。信念趋向于物质成功，则生活转化为成功的范式，信念趋向于向社会奉献，则生活转化为奉献的范式。信念于自我的闭塞，则生活变得狭隘；信念于自我的开放，则生活变得开阔。
生活是一系列关于信念的选择。电影，或许所传导就是一种开放式的信念，明天在每个人内心的诠释不同，但是明天是可以选择的，也必须基于选择之后的努力而达到。
2.watch the madness of primitive man, plays in the sentence: no dark,no in hide,No Cave has been around in my head.I was very moved.I thought this an anime not only lifelike 3D effect, also passed such a break with tradition, to be creative and positive energy.Not only that, deep friendship.Father of love, a father of adolescent daughter of that protection, attached shed, that responsibility is very emotional.As well as love, girls love to worship and adore the boy, very pure.Also has his son-in-law tolerance even of identity, are at ease with vivid realism.My child is 10 years old, this film made him the entertainment themselves, also gave him a lot of inspiration in life, maybe he also does not take into account so many now, but imperceptible gave him the right to education.What is life, and is always accompanied by the value of life is what? said on the existential perspective, there is a value in itself.To a large extent, I agree with this view, that is, the value of.Because the discussion value, must be based on the existing leave, is unable to talk about values.We need to acknowledge the existence and then its value.Live in constant pursuit of a belief in the future.Perhaps a little too idealistic, people will not always be optimistic, full of faith, but apart from the metaphysical dimension, to build value, leave the search for life in the faith, it is difficult to find a compelling reason.More abstract to say that life itself is an act of faith.Beliefs tend to material success and life into a successful paradigm beliefs tend to dedication to the community, life transformation paradigm for dedication.Self-faith block, then life becomes narrower;open belief in self, life became open.Life is a series of choices on faith.The film, perhaps the conduction is the belief in an open tomorrow, each different, but tomorrow is optional, must be selected based on effort and reach.
