a) In a new document create a 4 to 5 paragraph review of a recent movie, concert, play, art show, or similar event that you attended. A review should be written based on facts and without bias. Be sure to include the appropriate information as listed above. You can use the Internet Movie Database to help with some of the information, but the review should be your own?
