This review page is very different from the other ones that I have studied. A landscape image is used from the film as the background which I feel is bringing life to entire look and feel of the two pages. Because the image is so glamorous the rest of the page has been kept very simple in comparison so that it does not compete with the image. The page review has been written in four columns and at the end verdict is given by the write. Apart from that, beneath the title it says 'Chick flick with a bite' I think this is telling the audience about the genre of the film but rather in a very different way. Drop cap has been used for the starting the review and Director of the film and actors featured have also been mentioned here.
This review page, as it can be seen, is continuity of another page therefore much cannot be said about it. Similar to the previous page, review has been written in columns and images have been taken from the film. The separate box says that the film is a witty adrenaline fueled blast from start to finish, therefore the stills taken from the film further make it easier for the readers to understand what the writer means. The images depict thrill and suspense. 
From analysis of the four review pages above i have concluded that the basic codes and conventions of a review page are as follows:
- A large image from the film capturing the main actor
- Details such as the director, main cast and release date.
- Most important: Review is always written in columns so that it is easy to read since the font used is also very small.
- Rating of the film or verdict by the writer is also given
- some part of the review, which is though to be the most appealing for the audience, is written in larger text separately and highlighted.
