MOVIE REVIEW is the analysis of the film made by one person or collectively expressing

the opinion on the movie. The peculiarity of movie review is that it does not simply evaluate
the movie but gives very specific opinions which are the foundation of film review. This
paper writing as well as writing essays, research papers, and term papers should entertain the
reader and grab the reader's attention immediately. At the beginning it is vital to mention the
reputation of actors and director and write what your expectations were and whether they
were fulfilled. The reviewer should explain how the story builds without recollecting key
moments and ending. The review should be concise and engaging with the use of metaphors,
specific adjectives, analogies (similarities), similes etc.

Benefits of Learning How to Write a Poem


Even if you aren’t looking to become a full-time poet, or even attempt to publish a single
poem, writing poetry can be beneficial in several ways.

1. It strengthens your skills in writing solid imagery. Poetry is a very image-based form of writing,
so practicing poetry will improve your imagery in other forms as well.

2. Poetry is concise and impactful—it uses strong language, and no more words than are necessary.
If you have an understanding of how to write a poem, your prose when writing a novel will
become crisper and stronger.

3. Poetry helps you to connect with emotions in a tangible way. Other forms of writing have the
plot to hide behind—with poetry, all you’ve got are emotions. (Unless it’s a narrative poem, of
course.)

4. You can become a professional poet and earn a living writing. Even if you just want to enjoy
poetry for the above reasons, you can also make a full-time income this way. A great way to get
started is to apply for a poetry scholarship in addition to the rest of the tips here.

Types of Poetry
Not all types of poetry are the same, and that means learning how to write a poem involves
being familiar with the different types.

Here are the different types of poetry:

1. Narrative  – this kind of poem relies on a story. It tells an event and there are often a few extra
elements, such as characters, a plot, and a strong narration.

2. Lyrical  – a lyric poem is similar to a song, and it tends to describe a specific feeling, scene, or
state of mind.

You may be familiar with these different types of poetry. For example, a lyrical poem is
actually a song. Listening to your favourite radio station is just like hearing a collection of
your favourite poems being read to you with some background music. A narrative poem is,
as mentioned above, more like a story told in poetic prose.
