You've Got Mail
If I'm being honest, when I first watched the trailer for this movie I wasn't expecting to watch a movie that had crazy good cinematography. Although I loved the movie, I was right about the movie not being out of this world when it comes to the shots that were used. Overall, most shots were pretty basic compared to a newer action movie. But I think that is understandable, because this movie was filmed in 1998 and its a romantic comedy. If theres one shot that did stand out to me it would be one of the opening shots of the movie. The camera starts in front of the doors to Kathleen Kelly's (played by Meg Ryan) apartment, and then the camera ascends upward into Kathleen's apartment window. I assume to film this shot that the camera was on a crane or something similar, but I thought that this was a really good establishing shot because it adds movement to the film which is important to have in movies.
Now the reason why I loved this movie was for the story. Lets be honest, just about every girl loves a good chick flick. You've Got Mail is great, because it's not a typical chick flick. The storyline is really unique compared to other romantic comedies that I have seen which made me enjoy it even more. Plus I love how well Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan act together!

There was a good description of your view on the movie and an explanation on why you felt that way. I also liked how you included a visual, however, next time it might look better if you wrap the text around it.
