The Book or Movie Review

We've all read them, but writing them is certainly different.  Based on something you have read or watched (TV Show, Movie, Opera, etc.), write a personal, yet analytical review in first person.  The idea here is to open up your writing a bit, so have fun.

You can check the sites below for some information regarding writing movie reviews AND you should also look at some book and movie reviews to see first hand how they're done.
