The above double page review for 'Horns' is quite a conventional double page spread for quite a conventional drama. Similarly to most magazines, the review has comical captions and a few comical comments in the main body of the text. The review includes all the main information about the film including the star rating, cast, director etc. in a short block of text at the start of the review. As this double page spread is a review and not an interview, the editor has chosen to editorialise and has only given this film a 2.5/5 star rating. This is less conventional when an interview with a director or cast member is included in the double page spread, this will normally be a friendlier, higher rated review. This double page spread makes use of a filler to take up white space and provide an entertaining interview for the reader to look at. Also the conventional use of a pull quote has been followed by taking a quote from the main body of text and enlarging it to give an impression of the tone of this review, they have chosen to use quite a critical quote to add to the editorialised tone of this review.
