Movies for reviews: choices to consider

Below is a short list of movie titles that students have proposed for review or reviewed over the past few years. I'll ask all of you to express preferences for two or three of these movies (1st, 2nd, and maybe third choices) to review for your next essays.

• Forrest Gump
• Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone
• Lilo & Stitch (1st movie)
• Mrs. Doubtfire
• Shrek (1st movie)
• Toy Story (1st movie)

After weighing class preferences, I'll ask you to view the most popular choice (again, if you've seen it already) and write a review of it for your third essays for fall semester. Your third essays are due by November 11, 2007. You may get little or no credit for late essays.

All movie reviews must be original. These essays must consist of at least five paragraphs of three or more sentences in length, and must include introductory and concluding paragraphs that foretell and summarize the main points of the essays. These movie reviews must be between 300 and 500 words in overall length overall, not including titles, subtitles, or references.
