MOVIES
1. Listening Game : Top movies of 2005 : http://www.elllo.org/02LGPages/19-LG-
Movie.htm
The Chronicles of Narnia
What's that movie? It's a science fiction, like fantasy movie and it takes place in this magical
world and it's about the, I think three or four children, they go into this fantasy world through
some piece of furniture in their house, like through their dresser or something and they meet up
with giants and dwarves, like little people and talking beasts and all these fantasy creatures
like that.
Star Wars Episode III
I think this was the most popular movie of 2005. It's a science fiction movie and it takes
place in outer space but actually the story is more like a drama. It's about a guy who has a
secret wife and she's pregnant and he's worried that she'll die while giving birth so he does
anything he can to prevent her death including turning to the dark side.
Mr and Mrs Smith
Oh, I saw this movie. It's Brad Pitt is in it, and it's a romantic sort of action movie and it's
about a couple who seem to have normal lives but actually in secret life they are assassins.
They kill people. That's their job, and eventually they're hired to kill each other even though they
are a couple and they're married. They're employed to try to assassinate each other.
Batman Begins
I don't like crime stories so much, but this one I saw and it's a pretty good movie. Christian
Bale is in it and it takes place in a big city. This major metropolis, and this kids parents were
killed when he was young and he decides that he's going to get revenge against the criminals in
this city and so he does this training program and he creates this special suite and he uses all
kinds of high tech weapons to fight all of the evil forces in the city so he's, he's this major crime
fighter.
Madagascar
I didn't see this one but it got pretty good reviews and a lot of people said it was really funny.
It's like an action adventure comedy and it takes place in a New York Zoo and later on they go
to an African island and it's about this group, this group of animals who live in the zoo and the
penguins decide that they want to lead everyone out, so the animals escape from the zoo and
they go on a journey to find out what it's like to live in the wild again.
Wars of the World
This one's a sci-fi film. Sci-fi is short for science fiction and it takes place, I think, yeah, it takes
place in the U.S. and it's in the future. Tom Cruise is in it and it's about the earth being attacked
by aliens.
2. My favourite movies : http://www.elllo.org/Points-Pages/TP004-Movies.htm
Best Movies Ever
Todd talks about his favorite movies.
Best Comedy
My favorite comedy has to be Kingpin. Kingpin is a great story. It's about a guy that wants to
win money in a bowling tournament and he finds a very religious man who can bowl very well
and so he enters him into the bowling tournament to win money and the story also has a
beautiful woman and they drive across the country. It's a fantastic story. I laughed so hard
when I saw the movie. I recommend it to anybody.
Best Drama
One of my favorite dramas is a movie called Sling Blade and it's about a mentally handicapped
man and his life. He is out of prison. He was in prison for murder, for a long time before and the
story talks about his life and his relationship with the boy. It's really good because the movie
has everything. It has suspense and drama. It has humor and also it's a little scary so it's a
great movie and I could see it again and again.
Best Action Movie
OK, the best action movie I've ever seen has to be Raider's of the Lost Arc. My mom took
me to see this movie when I was very young, about twelve, and I was just amazed. It was the
coolest movie ever. After we finished, I was so excited, I asked my mom if we could see it
again, and we couldn't see it again that time, but she did take me again to see it and I ended up
seeing Raider's of the Lost Arc maybe four or five times. It has everything. It has a love story,
great action, great suspense. It's one of the best movies ever.
Best Science Fiction
OK, the best science fiction movie is still probably the original Star Wars. Many men my age
saw this movie when we were young boys, and we were just blown away by the special
effects in the story. Also my mother took me to see this movie as well and I remember driving
home at night, looking up at the stars and thinking, "Wow, there's people out there that's just like
Star wars" so I think this movie was very influential for many, many people.
Best Documentary
OK, the best documentary I've ever seen is Hoop Dreams. Hoop Dreams is a real story, a
documentary about two basketball players over a four year period I think. And, it's just like a
movie. It has drama and it has a great story line, and the people in the documentary,
particularly the two basketball players, are fantastic. The story is mainly about, or the
documentary mainly is about one player, basketball player who goes to a poor inner city school
in Chicago, and one basketball player who goes to a rich school in the suburbs and the
pressures they face to perform for their team.
Favorite Movie Of All Time
OK, my favorite movie of all time is Wall Street. This is just a fantastic movie. It's about
business and power and greed and ambition and what people will do to succeed in life. I think
this says a lot about people all around the world and how people crave power and how power
can corrupt, and in the movie, Michael Douglas plays Gordon Gecko and I think he is the best
villain of all time or the best bad character of all time. Even though he was the bad guy in the
movie, I think everybody loved Gordon Gecko.
