I love reading these reviews!!!!

So many of them are films I have seen or heard of but would have never thought of showing it class. You guys have really shown me a new way of seeing a lot of movies. I think I'm going to rent "Twilight..." If I can find it. The idea of a the Samurai is very interesting to students even if they don't completely get the whole scope of the Samurai class. In fact, I wonder how many students know that the Samurai were a whole of people. I doubt a lot did.

Film clips are a mixed blessing, though. I have a friend who one showed 5 or 6 clips in one period. After each class he had to review the videos and that took up the entire passing period.

However, I doubt that we could show as many films as we want. In order to really get the most out of a film shown in class, you have to either stop it periodically and discuss certain scenes or have a long discussion/review/connect the film to our class.
