Henry Selick the director of this film and Neil Gaiman the writer of Coraline worked countless hours with the help of many to make this movie the best it could be. Everything in this movie was handmade! Every person working on this film had to be extremely dedicated and very creative. Its amazing just how much work goes into a stop motion film. Overall i thought Coraline was a great movie. It had a great hidden message and kept my eyes glued to the screen the whole movie. I would not recommend this movie to younger kids because at times it can be a bit scary. This is definitely a movie i would want to see again.
First thing I would like to say is that your first sentence is great and really makes me want to keep reading! Next thing is that, I would have liked more opinion and your point of view in the last paragraph so I could know more about how you feel. I really like all the pictures you have, good choices! But, I think the links should be more spread out and instead of using them all to link to actors and actresses names, maybe you could link to something else? Your summary is a little short but your wording was great and I liked how you spread out the review. I would have liked a little bit more background information to know more about the film but I thought how you laid it out was really good and I think you did a really good job!

Overall your blog was great! The opening really pulled me in and made me want to keep reading. Getting into your second paragraph you have a lot of mistakes starting with the first sentence, and as it goes on you have some grammar and punctuation errors. Your third paragraph about the making was very good! You closed the review with a very strong conclusion that sounds very good!
ReplyDeleteOver all great job, but you are missing one body paragraph on another aspect of filming.

Make sure to proof read next time because some words were accidentally misspelled. The summary was written very well and had great vocabulary. Next time remember to add captions to the pictures to explain what is happening. Also, try to add more opinion and the other sides opinion to your conclusion. Overall, everything flowed very well and it was very easy to understand.
