In fact today, through the use of computers with internet there are numbers of online universities emerging on the internet for those who wanted to continue their studies through it.

I am a fan of movies and one of the movie directors that I love is Jon Chu. First, he is only 27 years old. Second, he has some Chinese roots and so he certainly knows how to choreograph an action movie or in the absence of which, a dance movie. And that is what he does in Step Up 2 the Streets which opened last Valentines nationwide because the movie is tagged as a romantic flick for b-boying fanatics and they number a lot in the hip-hop community of the United States. It all boils down to marketing actually. But coupled with marketing, one must also know the technical skills in making a good movie such as the choreographed dance moves in this case. And that is why I am taking an online course in movie directing because living here in Burbank where my single mom who raised me up cannot sustain me anymore in a formal college education; I need to find out a way.

This particular program that I’m taking will last up to two semesters long. For me, that’s enough education where I can launch a career as a Hollywood director. After all, such directors as Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino are school dropouts. To be a successful movie director, one must be a successful movie critic first. A movie critic is different from a movie reviewer. A movie reviewer only tells his or her audience why he/she likes or dislikes a particular movie. He/she does not explain on why the movie is good. For me, Step Up 2 the Streets is a good movie because this is the first mainstream movie which actually pays tribute to the b-boying community. The b-boying community has been there since the start of the millennium but up until this point, there has been no movie made about it that is released widely. And by the way, Cassie, an R&B artist with a natural talent for dancing, is in this movie. She must have been very glad working with Jon Chu.

Another movie released this week is Jumper. Jumper chronicles the travails of a teleporter. It would have been impressive if the production shoots in all locations that are specified in the movie but they are not. Most of the locations are limited to Tokyo, Rome and Mexico. Scenes that are supposed to happen in Cuba, Dubai and Egypt were all shot in Mexico. But the most impressive thing about the movie are the interior scenes of the Colloseum in Rome. In fact, this is the very first movie that was allowed to shoot inside the awesome site that is the Colloseum. No Italian movie has even done that thanks to the awesome persuasion of film director Doug Liman who introduced us to the first installment of the Bourne movie series. With those two movies alone, there are lots of things we can learn and they are as diverse as they can be. Imagination is without frontier. And I’m taking up that challenge.

AT first glance, being a columnist may just be yakking and yakking. But take a closer look and you will see that columnists are professionals. They speak with authority. For that, this profession is no joke at all. In fact, it pays well. Examples of popular movie reviewers/columnists are the late Gene Siskel, Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, Peter Travers of the Rolling Stone, the various columnists at Variety and of course online movie reviewer James Berardinelli.

I use movie columnists as an example because I’m a movie buff myself. But actually, the world of investigative reporting can be exciting. One of the more popular investigative writers this decade was Daniel Pearl. Of course, he was killed in Pakistan but during his stint there, he was a very brilliant reporter. The last piece that he had with the Wall Street Journal talks about the success of a loans provider in India giving out very low interest rates.

Daniel Pearl was the subject of a 2007 movie A Mighty Heart and here comes my innate desire to review a movie. Actually, I have studied an online crash course in movie reviewing for only one semester which is roughly equal to six months. Every day, I had to retrieve the lesson and answer the daily quiz by logging in to my student’s account. At the end of the semester, I received a certificate. This is what I’m telling you about. Column writing let alone movie reviewing isn’t just about yakking and yakking. There are methods to follow and you can only learn this by taking an online crash course.

If not for me taking up the online course, I wouldn’t have the ability right now to do movie reviews. To do movie reviews or to do any form of investigative reporting, one’s perspective must be holistic. In reviewing A Mighty Heart which was all about the life of Daniel Pearl, I can see in Angelina Jolie’s performance that she has never immersed herself with her character as Daniel Pearl’s widow. And she’s supposed to be the one referred as having a mighty heart. She would have won an Oscar nomination if she only did her part well. Her acting was perfect but that’s just acting.

There was no internalization of her character in her…which brings me to mind the recent play about Anastasia that I saw here in Laredo. Even though the actress playing Anastasia was Mexican, I can see in her demeanor that she has immersed herself with the Russian character of Anastasia. Even while viewing the movie stills of the late Heath Ledger’s last film Dark Knight, I can see in Heath’s performance that he has successfully internalized himself as really Joker, the dark villain in the film. And that’s how it is to review a movie. You must relate what you are reviewing in real life. And I only learned that by taking an online crash course in movie reviewing for about six months.
