Critical Reading

Prompt: Read the article “007 is Back, and He’s Brooding” by A.O. Scott in the English textbook and prepare a critical reading to turn in on Friday.

This article is very confusing. Scott uses about 500 adjectives in this 501 word movie review, and I’m pretty sure he made up half of them up on the spot. I read this article in its entirety and still I have absolutely no understanding of the emotions Scott has towards this particular film. A simple zero to five star rating would have sufficed for me, yet Scott decides to ramble on about nothing more than Alicia Keys and brooding. (Or at least that’s all I understood). Also he said the word “nifty,” which is NOT ok unless you are an eighty-seven year old grandmother. I have never seen the film “Quantum of Solace.” If Scott thinks it is good, which he may or may not have mentioned in the review,I probably won't go see it because I can already tell we are two very different people with two very different tastes. If he thinks it is not good, I probably won't go see it (not because I am listening to him, but because I would rather see Lion King 3D or something about teenage mermaids than spend three hours suffering through another bad James Bond movie). Also: I have attached to this paper a picture of a funny cat so you will smile and not fail me. I need to go to college.
