Today we made Diigo accounts, and were assigned to annotate a movie review using the Diigo tools bar. I chose "The Words" by Betsy Sharkey to annotate, because it looked like a very interesting movie, after reading this review though I might be having some second thoughts. Sharkey started the review with a brief background of the main actor Bradley Cooper, she talks about some previous works and then compares them to this new movie. She then gives her reaction to the movie, stating that it was rather boring or in her terms "It's a snooze. Like a bedtime story for adults." Finally she summarizes the movie's plot, throwing in comments about the acting and directing as she goes. She concludes the summary with a final critique to to Cooper's acting and a brief overview of the movie's overall scene, before finally ending the movie review with a quick paragraph re-iterating her opinion on the final product.
Sharkey's review wasn't the most structured, it kinda hoped around a bit from the plot to the acting, but i found that to be rather refreshing to the normal very structured format most reviews take shape in, in the future if i were to ever have to write a review, i believe the structure to be less important than the content.
Anyway Diigo seems like an easy enough tool to figure out, and I look forward to using it in the future. here's the link to my annotated movie review.
