Movie Review

Today I looked at the "Blades of Glory" movie in the New York Times by Stephen Holden. The link to the movie review with my annotations is at the bottom of this page.
Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell, left) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) are disgraced rival figure skaters who become a team in Blades of Glory.
Holden talked mostly about Will Ferrel and his acting in the movie. He seemed to jump around from character/actor description, to the plot, then back. He avoided talking about the cinematic aspects of the film, but did interject some of his own opinion into the review. When he talks about the plot, he doesn't reveal enough of the challenge that the skaters face, but reveals too much about what happens toward the end of the movie. Holden gave the movie a positive review, as would I, it is hilarious and a classic Will Ferrel movie.

For our class quarterly movie reviews, I believe we should give a brief plot summary of the movie, then write about something interesting, good, or bad that we saw in the movie. We could wirite about actors,  cinematography, etc.
