A Film Review for Journalism

To:   JOURNALISM STUDENTS
Re:   THE FILM REVIEW

For your final written assignment before the final exam you will compose a 2 - 3 pp. film review of an Academy Award winning film, released in the 21st c. Specific requirements and directions for a successful review will be distributed in class, and we will, of course, discuss the assignment at length before the due date. First, we will watch Errol Morris's masterpiece The Thin Blue Line and do some reading about his film. Copious details to follow ...

For now, I wanted to publish a list of the films you can choose from for your review. These are all 21st c. movies. You may choose one of these:
  • MOONLIGHT
  • SPOTLIGHT
  • BIRDMAN
  • 12 YEARS A SLAVE
  • ARGO
  • THE KING'S SPEECH
  • THE HURT LOCKER
  • SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
  • NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
  • THE DEPARTED
  • CRASH
  • MILLION DOLLAR BABY
That's 12 total to choose from. If you want to select an older film, let's discuss it ...
