Summary: Poorly executed guide to writing critical film reviews.
Comment: John Moscowitz poorly executes a mini-textbook on how to write critical film reviews. He takes a series of student papers (presumably from his own classes) and presents them with repetitive commentary echoing what the writer has just said.

A better idea would be to read an actual book of reviews by a single author such as the Roger Ebert ones or any of a number of other critics.

Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely thorough...
Comment: This volume is an extremely thorough work on the process of film criticism, detailing techniques for accumulating information and thinking about the material, approaches to film criticism, types of it, and so on. Glossary and various appendices are included -- it's even got a quiz at the end. This is a wonderful book for budding film critics.
