The movie review I read was one that, in the end, I really just didn't agree with. It was called, "The Lady or the Teddy?" and it was written by A. O. Scott of the NY Times. It was very opinionated, and didn't really address much of the plot or the acting, and completely left out the cinematography. The whole thing had a pretty negative tone, and having seen the movie myself, I feel like it should've been given a little more credit.
It basically just takes shot after shot at the humor, the plot and the "lack of originality" of "Ted" throughout the entire 655 word article, which is honestly just a waste of time. It wasn't even informative. Usually I don't rant about random things like this but honestly it was kinda ridiculous. I don't really know what triggered this apparent hatred for Seth MacFarlane, because I think he's hilarious. But whatever. I guess everyone has their own opinion.
For the quarterly movie reviews, we should be able to watch any film we want to, but the type (like documentary, different genres, silent film, etc.) should be assigned. Then the criteria should just be to talk about what you thought of the movie, and include all the different elements. That'd be interesting, and a lot more fun to write since it's not so structured, and we're more free to voice opinions.
That's just my take.
Thanks.
