Think about your favourite film or the film you've recently seen. Write about it in 80-100 words.

Organise your writing into 3 paragraphs:
Paragraph 1: What is the title of the film? What type is it? Who was it directed by? Who stars in it?
Paragraph 2: What is the film about? Who are the main characters? Try not to reveal the ending, please!
Paragraph 3: What do you think about the film, actors, special effects, soundtrack,costumes, ending? Should people watch it? Why (not)?

The title of my favourite film is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Its genre is fantasy. It was directed by David Yates, but the film is based on the book with the same name written by J. K. Rowling. In the Harry Potter film series, there are eight films. However, there are seven books, because the last book was divided into two films. In this film, we can see Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter (also known as the Chosen one), Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, the best student in their class and Rupert Grint as the funny, but brave, Ron Weasley.
All of the films follow the story of Harry Potter, the only person and the wizard who survived the killing curse thrown by Voldemort and Harry's adventures at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Voldemort is known as  the most evil wizard ever. In this one, Harry didn't have a book for a school subject called Potions. The Potions teacher gave him the book of some old student. On its first page it was written: "This book is property of the Half-Blood prince". Who is he? Is he good or evil? Watch the film and find out.
I really enjoyed every single one of the films, but this one was the most exciting for me. I like the plot of the films, from the beginning to the end. I also like how they kept the viewers interested through eight films which is not a short amount of time. I also like how, aside the hatred between Harry and Voldemort, they always introduce new mysteries and adventures, new friendships. These films are a new universe. Shops, money, solving problems, objects, clothing  and many other things from that universe are much different to the ones existing in ours. So, if you are up to going to another universe, which is more interesting than ours, you should watch Harry Potter!

I like to watch movies, but I like animated movies more. My favourite animated movie is "Encanto". It was directed by Byron Howard and Jared Bush.Actors that give voices are:Stephanie Beatriz, Jessica Darrow, Diane Guerrero, John Leguizamo.
Encanto is a magical world where the Madrigal family live. They all have gifts(super powers) except Mirabel Madrigal. One night when Mirabel's cousin Antonio gets his gift their house starts breaking and the miracle(magical candle) is in danger. Will Mirabel be able to save the miracle? I am leaving that to you to find out. There are lots of characters, but here are some of my favourite: Mirabel, Dolores, Camilo, Pepa, Julieta, Bruno, Antonio, Isabela, Luisa.
I really like the movie and I recommend it to everyone.There are lots of beautiful songs, but my favourite is "We don't talk about Bruno".

My favorite movie is Home Alone.This is an American film comedy made in 1990. It was directed by Chris Columbus. This film has 4 parts. The main actor is Macaulay Culkin who plays the boy Kevin.
I like to watch the 3rd part, which is the most fun. It is about the fact that the boy receives a toy car as a gift, which contains a precious chip. The car is replaced at the airport. A group of criminals is ordered to find the car. They try in various ways to get to the toy, but they do not succeed. The most ridiculous thing is that the boy manages to trick them.
I think people should watch this movie because it is very interesting and exciting.

The last movie I saw, and I liked a lot, was called Tourists. The director of this film is John Stockwell, and the main characters are Josh Duhamel, Mellisa George, Olivia Wild... This is an American horror movie.
 A group of young people's holidays turn into a nightmare after a bus they set off for Brazil beaks down. Without means of transportation, they are forced to be alone and soon reach the paradise beach, where they decide to stay. The decision will prove to be wrong, because the next morning they're robbed. In a nearby village, they try to find a police station, not knowing that this secret place hides a creepy secret.
I liked the music from the film and the nature was beautiful. Anyone who likes watching horror movies would recommend this one.

One of my favourite films is Tall Girl. It's an American, teenage, romantic film directed by Nzingha Stewart.
The film is about a rather tall girl who was ridiculed at school because of her height, but in addition to everything, she had friends and family who helped her overcome all the problems she went through in the film.
The main actors are Ava Michael, Griffin Gluck, Luke Eisner...
The film is quite educational, interesting and has a good message. The story has a happy ending where she makes an important and right decision in her life.
The actors are quite good and they played the part very well. People who like this kind of movies should watch it.

One of my favourite films is the first part of the 'Captain America' trilogy.
It is called 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' The main roles are played by Chris Evans, who is also famous for another Marvel film, 'Fantastic Four', Sebastian Stan for his roles in 'Gossip Girl' and 'Kings', and Hayley Atwell. It is an American superhero film, based on Marvel's comics character Captain America.
The movie is set in the times during World War II, where Steve Rogers, a skinny man with many health diseases, becomes Captain America, who must stop the Red Skull, who wants world domination.
I like the fact that almost every actor chosen for their role extremely resembles the comic book characters. It is like the people were made for their roles. The acting was amazing, as it has many funny and also serious moments. The CGI was overall fantastic and the soundtrack was perfect.
It is one of the better films I have watched. I recommend it to everyone who likes science fiction and Marvel comics.

My favorite film is “Midnight sun”. It is an American film directed by Scott Speer. The main actors are Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger and Rob Riggle.
The movie is about a girl called Katie who has a rare illness and must not go out in the sun, or else she will die. She finally meets the boy Charlie she fell in love with when she was a kid, looking at him through the window. After a few nights out, she decides to admit to him that she is ill.
In this film I especially liked the sad music and special effects. In my opinion the actors did a great job and enjoyed their roles amazingly.
If you like sad and romantic movies, I recommend you to watch this perfect film.

My favourite film/cartoon is the animated film “Isle of Dogs”. To start with “Isle of Dogs” is a film created with the unusual stop-motion technique. Basically, you take a puppet, place it into a setting, and take a shot with camera. Then you move a puppet a little bit and take another shot.
The story is really interesting. In the not-so-distant future, a dog-flu virus spreads across the city of Megasaki, Japan. The city’s mayor Kobayashi orders to send all dogs to Trash Island. To make an example, the first dog to be exiled is Kobayashi’s dog Spots. Kobayashi has a foster child, Atari–a boy with a stubborn and strong-willed character. It turns out that Spots was Atari’s bodyguard dog, and in order to find him, Atari hijacks a plane and sets off to Trash Island.
 I liked that almost all the characters but dogs speak in Japanese. The voiceover translation was provided only when it was necessary for understanding the plot. Other than that, you can only guess what the characters are talking about. And I think this is a perfect solution for the movie that tells the story from the perspective of dogs.
This is as far as I can go without spoiling the pleasure of you watching “Isle of Dogs” on your own.

We Are Not Angels 2 (film review)

Write about your favourite film. Describe the plot in a few words and how it makes you feel.

With school, music school and my other duties, I don’t have much free time. When I find some time, I spend most of it watching movies. Generally, I like all genres of movies. I’m going to tell you about a movie called ’We Are Not Angels 2,’ the 2005 sequel to the cult movie ’We are not angels’ shot in the early 90s.

It’s a comedy directed by Srdjan Dragojevic, who also directed the original. Its stars are actors Nikola Kojo, Zoran Cvijanovic, a new star, young actress, Mirka Vasiljevic and several other famous actors.

This movie takes place in Belgrade, Serbian capital, in the year 2005. The fifteen-year-old Sofija (Mirka Vasiljevic) is starting to go out and gets interested in boys. This becomes a major problem for her dad (Nikola Kojo) during one weekend which they have to spend together while Sofija’s mother is away, on holiday. The over-protective father can’t live with the fact that his daughter is no longer a small girl. Sofija, on the other hand, doesn’t like the fact that her own father is spying on her.

I like this movie because it reminds me of my dad and me. This film is interesting and funny too and I really like it.
