referencing in MLA format
I'm doing a film review for one of my classes and need help with my references. I need to use MLA...how do I reference my film for the biblio? How about in-text citing?

Films or Movies (http://owl.english.purdue.ed u/owl/resource/747/09/)

List films (in theaters or not yet on DVD or video) by their title. Include the name of the director, the film studio or distributor, and the release year. If relevant, list performer names after the director’s name. Use the abbreviation perf. to head the list. List film as the medium of publication.

All students taking English are required to buy "The Little Penguin Handbook," which tells you how to reference everything and cite everything.

It says: Multimedia sources (music, DVDs, TV programs, interviews) are usually named in text rather than in a parenthetical citation.

Example: House of Flying Daggers was one of the first feature films to be released on Sony's UMD format for the PSP portable system.

THEN, to reference a film resource in the works cited (a.k.a bibliography), you do it this way:

Lost in Translation. Dir. Sofia Coppola. Perf. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Focus Features, 2003. Film.


Okay that's everything according to the 2010 version of MLA! Good luck!
