This Katy Perry Lip Sync Fail Might Be The Most Awkward Thing You See Today

writing your movie review of The Social Network

remember there is no one way to write it...what you must have: start with what is it (and overall opinion) move on to technical elements (acting , script , cinematography etc)and comment on the success of each one paragraph must deal with the main actor (s) (in this case Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Z. must sum up with overall take on the film and your analysis of whether or not it achieved what it set out to do. the review must end with a rating (and a clear rating system...78 out 100 for example) For background info, IMDB is always a great place to start (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/?ref_=nv_sr_1) For opinion / analysis and countless professional and amateur reviews of the film, a good start is :http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the-social-network/ use the Rolling Stone review of Catching Fire as a model if you wish now go write a great review
