When I wrote for my college newspaper, one of the assignments I enjoyed most was writing film reviews. And I was terrible at it, as I soon realized. Why? I was writing the equivalent of book reports: movie reports.

Fortunately, I came to my senses and realized that evaluating films and plays and the like (and, yes, books) is more complicated, yet more satisfying, that that. Here are some tips — not necessarily in the order in which they…

I like the idea of the movie.A drug can make you very smart.But you will run out of your time sooner.Because the drug can also make you use up all your brain power.Will you take it? I think I will.

I love how they used the camera to show what it would be like after taking the drug.It was quite a dizzy world.Everything moved so fast that no one would remember what just happened.It was too surreal.

Jiang Wen is a bad-ass director.I am not lying about it.Let The Bullets Fly is my proof.The movie has topped the box office in mainland China and brought in some serious big money.Actually it has become the most talked movie among Chinese movie viewers.People can't stop picking on the political hints in the movie,which I found pretty tedious.It is true that Jiang Wen is very bold about his political stand and showed it in his works.
