So. Silver Chips recently reviewed the movie "The Bourne Legacy". The review was certainly short and sweet. A quick plot overview of the movie in the first few paragraphs was followed by a terse reflection on overly long chase scenes. Then came a paragraph about how the soundtrack of the series hasn't really changed once over the course of four movies. Finally a glowing recommendation that implores everyone to see the movie. Definitely makes sense. Definitely. The Bourne movies have never really been known for their amazing acting, or lack thereof, but perhaps it would have been beneficial if the review had touched upon the topic once or twice instead of ramming through a plot summary, two quick reflections and a conclusion.
While the review wasn't exceptional it certainly wasn't bad. It provided me with a lot of the information I needed to know about the film and some choice nuggets of information. There was a grammar error though. A minor one albeit, but it still really irritated me for some reason. Must be because I still have another five hours of school left before I can go home. Yay.
In case you wanted to check out my amazing highlighting of the article go to (highlighting is cool) the original article can be found at (silver chips online).
With regards to the quarterly movie review I am of the opinion that one of the movies we view should be in class just for purposes of comparing our reviews of the same movie, that isn't necessarily current. Otherwise everyone's just going to go out and watch the same movies and you're going to get 150 reviews about 3-4 movies. That would sure be fun to grade I'm sure. Plus I need to minimize my social interactions. One outing is better than two.
