Oliver Twist
You may add +10 points to your exam grade if you write a critical review essay on movies from the following list. Your essay must be typed (more than two pages in length, double spaced, and a font size of no larger than 12 pt.), and the pages must be stapled together. The essay must be in the form of a CRITIQUE—and in your own words—what were the themes of the film, what were its strengths and weaknesses, was the film worth watching? Do NOT provide a lengthy synopsis of the plot of the movie. You may select a film/documentary not on this list, but you must clear your choice with me first. This essay is due on or before the scheduled exam date. I have rated the “intensity” of each film.
