While we're on the subject of Ebert's XXX review, I'm linking it below, in case anyone wants to use it as their model.

Important reminder from Prof Bushnell
I just wanted to remind you all about one important detail, just in case anyone was confused. The review that you choose as your model should not, repeat not, be a review of the same movie that you're planning to write on. The assignment is asking you to take the structure of an existing review and put new content into that structure... so, for instance, taking the structure of a review of XXX but taking all the XXX content out of it, and just using the skeleton to talk about another movie (say, Charlie's Angels or what have you). Don't use the structure of the XXX review to talk about XXX—then there's not enough new material coming from you. If that doesn't make sense, ask me a question in the comments box, below.

Hey Mr. Bushnell,
I'm still confused about which post you want us to use. I posted a review about the movie Dazed and Confused, and I was hoping to use that for my paper, but for the paper itself do we have to relate whatever review we have, to the Napolean or XXX reviews? Or would you want us to use a completely different movie and structure?
Thanks!
Annette
SO basically what youre saying is to post any movie and to just use it as a model..Do we HAVE to compare the two movies or no! Im still confused...just a lil bit.
