James, Caryn. “Braveheart; The Splashy Epic Finds New Life in the 13th Century.” New York Times 24 5 1995, n. pag. Web. 5 Mar. 2014.
The critic of this review, James, provides what is for the most part, a summary. He describes the plot of the movie, comments on certain elements of it, and gives his opinion at the end of the review.
This review is a good source for me for a few reasons. First off, It provides me with a nice succinct plot summary so that, should I forget a certain part of the movie, I can simply read over this article rather than skim through the movie. It also provides me some of the opinions of a reviewer of that time, providing me with what they found to be good about the movie, and some of the qualms that even someone with a positive reaction to the film had. Lastly, it gives me a definition of what over-the-top and extravagant were considered back then, through the examples of such provided therein.

Your annotation remind me to find some more sources about how people view the movie when it created. I think this source could be very helpful since it responds to the topic why people elected it as best picture during that time.
