I watched “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. This movie’s leading actor is Johnny Depp. He acts Willy Wonka in this movie. He is very handsome actor. This story is in chocolate factory. A poor boy wins the special ticket. Then, he goes to the Charlie’s chocolate factory. Music is being played there. This is Willy Wonka’s song. It is so pretty song. If you watch this movie, you will want to become to go to the Charlie’s chocolate factory.
My favorite movie is “Hancock”. This movie is American comedy-drama superhero story. This movie is directed by Peter Berg and starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron.
I will introduce characters and this story. Main character is John Hancock, played by Will Smith. He has special power which broken anything. He is a superman in Los Angels. He always helps anyone from bad person, but he also breaks bills, cars or public places, so he was hated by everyone in America.
One day, Hancock helped Ray Embrey who is office worker. Ray really thanked Hancock for saving his life. So he tried to improve Hancock’s public bad image. First plan is that Hancock was sent to jail. Then they could show how much Los Angels people need Hancock, because crime went on increasing without him in Los Angels. So he was offered by the Chief of police to help stop a violent bank robber. He was released from jail, and he helped many people. He became popular in Los Angels as Ray had predicted. This is first story, but there is more complicated story in this movie about Ray’s wife Mary. If you want to know this story, you should watch “Hancock”!
I like this movie because I like Will Smith. He is very cool and his movies are very interesting. Hancock is very strong, so he can help many people in this movie. Actually, he is very kind so I think he is super hero! I want to see him if there is him in the world.
I watched a movie which name is "My Life Without Me". In Japan, people call the name of this movie "死ぬまでにしたい１０のこと". The title looks very sad story, but it is not too sad. I like this story. I will tell you this story a little.
A heroine is Ann. She has two young daughters and a husband. She works as a janitor in a university at night. Her father has spent the last ten years in jail. One day, she collapsed in her house, and she went to a hospital. A kind doctor told her shocking news. She will die for 2 or 3 month, but she doesn't tell the bad news anyone. She wrote 10 things what her want to do by her death, and she tried to do those things.
After I watched the story, I thought that I have to make good use my lifetime. I don’t know when my friends, family or me die. If I will die after 3 month, I will do a lot of things. I will do trip. I will see a lot of view, which I have never seen. I will go to Disney Land of Florida. I have more wishes, but I can’t come up with.
I watch a movie which is “Rookies”. This is baseball story.
Characters Pitcher: Aniya Second baseman: Mikoshiba Third baseman: Shinjo Center fielder: Sekikawa Catcher: Wakana Left fielder: Okada First baseman: Yufune Shortstop: Kiyama Right fielder: Imaoka Benchwarmer: Hiratsuka Manager: Kawato Koichi
The story is set in a high school’s baseball club which is very bad. There 10 bad students in a high school. One teacher, Kawato changes them!
I think Chika's movie review is the best, because her review has 6 more paragraphs. Also, it is easy to read. It has colorful caracters. Her English is good! Her review has a link, photo and YouTube movie! I want to write blog like Cika!
I saw "Babel" yesterday with my friend. "Babel" is a story about how different races misunderstand each other due to their lack of communications. Three stories are set in different countries and the whole stories are eventually all linked, though there is no direct connection between all of the characters. Two young boys in Morocco who accidentally shoot an American tourist and the American woman who was shot by one of the kids (Cate Branchett ) and her husband (Brad Pitt) who frantically tries to save her life in a different language environment. The couple’s two little kids at home in San Diego and their Mexican nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with the two. And in Tokyo, a deaf-mute school girl (Rinko Kikuchi) who goes crazy with loneliness and her father (Koji Yakusho) who is often absent from home.
Each of the individual stories deals with the lack of communication. So, the message is very clear how human’s inability of communication causes confusion so they cannot make an appropriate decision. I also felt like the film was trying to show that communication with care and love was crucial rather than understanding of language.
I saw this movie, “Remy no oishi restaurant” in Japanese.
A young French rat named Remy lives with his family and group of rats. Remy has a special gift for testing and smelling that can detect fresh foods as well as rat poisons, and so his father wants him to work as a poison checker for his rat clan. Remy, however, dreams of becoming a great chef like a famous Paris chef, Gusteau who owns a 5 star restaurant and has written a book named "Anyone Can Cook" that has inspired Remy. But the only problem is that he is a rat, which is hard to live in the human world.
The story sounds like very simple, but the plot is very original and not clichéd at all. Remy accidentally comes upon the Gueseau's restaurant that was downgraded from 5 stars to 3 stars, after his idle Gusteau died. His amazing culinary intuition to combine all the ingredients in foods helps a goofy-looking yet wannabe-chef named Linguini who works as a garbage boy there. The irony is that the human Linguini has no talent to cook, and the rat Remy does. The twosome what team up to become the greatest chef in Paris and to restore the restaurant that was once a hot-spot.
The bottom line on this film is that it has a great message. It teaches us a life lesson that “anyone can do anything if they follow their passion.”Remy bravely follows Gusteau’s motto, “Anyone can cook,” while having trouble in the human world where most of us hate rats, especially in a kitchen. The best line comes from Remy, when his dad who wants Remy to return to the lifestyle of a rat because he distrusts humans says “You can't change nature.” Remy says, “No, change is nature.” A rat is a rat. This is a nature that we can’t change in this universe; but we can change our own destiny. Do you think Remy will give up his dream of becoming a great chef?
“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere”
The last line you can hear at the end of the film from Ego, a dreaded food critic in Paris will leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling.
