I hope all of you are fine! I had mentioned during last class that I was not coming in last Thursday but not all of you got the message I gave in class...sorry about that!
Right now I am in my office finishing up midterm evaluations so if you need me I'll be downstairs. You have passive work yet again.
Once again, my invitation to you is: if you are behind, stop being behind and catch up already! No need to be so far back!
Now for todays assignment...
This weekend I took a mini break from my routine and decided to go to the movies. On a side note, on Monday I went to see 200 Cartas by myself (I had NEVER gone to the movies by myself so it was a BIG deal!!). I am pleased to inform that it was soooooo worth it! Excellent initiative on behalf of the film industry in Puerto Rico. So, on Saturday I went again to the movies and saw "Gravity". What can I say... I am still breathing heavily after watching that film.
Do you have an idea of what you are going to write about? Yes...NO? MOVIES!! Yes movies! And at this point I still get students who tell me: "But professor I don't watch movies!" Give me a BREAK!! Not even when you were a kid? No Disney? No...nothing? Well go out and rent one to watch so that you may complete this assignment!
You are going to be a movie critic. You are going to choose a RECENT film you watched and REALLY REALLY liked and one you've watched that you were like: Really!? Did I just pay to see this? (In my case "Elysium")
Tell your reader about the film without spoiling it for us! Make us want to watch the film if you liked it. What was so great about it? Tell me about the acting, the plot, the scenery, the music...everything needed so that you, the movie critic, makes us want to see it!
If you didn't like it encourage us to watch it but tell us why YOU did not like it. Was it the acting? Was it the theme or plot?
