[Emika Kanazawa]

Hi, my name is Emika. I'm from Japan. I have taken this class from the last semester. I'm so happy to take Mike's class again. Since I started taking this class, I have been interested in English movies. Through this class, the ability to listen to English have been improved. Also we can learn lots of academy vocabulary and American culture. That's why I like watching movies!
I recommend the following movies from the list...
Almost Famous
Spirited Way
Black Swan
School of Rock
Limitless

I'm looking forward to enjoying many movies in this class. Thank you!

Teacher's note: Welcome back!

Hi,

I'm not a big fan of movies, but this class made realize that I have missed an important part of American culture. I took this class last semester, and I'm taking it this semester, too. I have started watching American movies when my friend used my credit card to register at Netflix. She actually forced me to watch movies in that paid month. I was planning to unsubscribe after that month, but I actually liked it. Then I started to watch different kinds of movies and series. I was always ask my friends for movies recommendations.

I recommend you to watch what I have watched :

1- 90210 (an American teen drama television series)
2- Gossip Girl (an American teen drama television series)
The two of them are FANCY and LUXURY lifestyle. That's why I liked them .
3- Interstellar (Sci-Fi film)
4- Inside out (an American 3D computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film)
5- Sisters (an American comedy film)


I hope you guys enjoying your movies

Teacher's note: So glad to hear when someone discovers the magic of movies and how much a good story can affect our lives. "Interstellar" is one of my favorite recent Sci-Fi films about a father and daughter. There is an ESL lesson for it at http://www.moviesgrowenglish.com/WholeM ... ellar.html. If we have enough time, I might show this one in class. I recently got a copy of "Inside Out" because my daughter keeps telling me how great it is. I might show this one too. Thanks for your suggestions.

First movie is

This movie is about a guy who has an ability to turn back time with which he changes his life.

Second movie is

It was realsed in 2008 and is one of the movies i watched interestingly.

Finally movie name is step up-3d that I saw.
This film was produced in 3D, which is very different than previous series.
this step up 3d movie is more realistic. It seems like the actors and actresses are dancing in front of me.

If you haven.t seen the movie yet, I recommend you to see it.
Movies make people happy and enjoyable.
I hope that many people will watch movies.

Hi everyone,

My name is Khaled and I am attending the film class this semester to improve my English Language through movies. I think watching movies can help me to gain many words within phrases. In addition, movies offers a great opportunity for viewers to increase their knowledge in many fields such as, history, biography and science fictions. With a wide variety of choices the viewers can enjoy watching their favorite types of movies which are correlated with their interests. If you asked me, I would prefer action and drama movies. For example, here are some movies that I like from the website list:

- The Great Debaters
- The Hunger Games
- Into the Wild
-Hangover
-Avatar
-Hitman
-Taken
-Fast and Furious

Good luck guys


teacher's note: Great list, awesome comment! Thanks for posting.

Hi Everyone! My name is(Korean).

I like watching movie, however I didn't like share about the movie, though. Because I'm not critic.

But, today I studied and felt something in the Film class. Teacher was also good man.

I looking forward to this class!!

Now, Let me introduce my favorite movies.

1. Frozen
Everybody knows this movie! like "Do you want to a build a snowman?" I love this part. Elsa and Anna's story is very interesting.
They try to find each different problem. I think Elsa has sorcery to make a trouble. I don't like some character. One of that I hate other country's prince because he is crazy. He is devil. Anyway, this story is happy ending, though. I had already watched movie for more than 10 times.

2. Hangover
Do you guys know Hangover? I watched the movies until season 3. This story started that a man's Bachelor Party. Also, each part is so crazy and funny!!!. All thing occur in Las Vegas. The movie is comedy. If you had never watched this movie, I will recommend.

3. Taken
How about Taken? This movie is Action, Crime, Thriller. This story is a man save his daughter. When the movie released, I like the movie. But, now new season released, actually is not good. I only want recommend season 1.

4. Avatar
This movie is also my favorite movie. Fresh ingredients, Interesting 3D, like Country of Imagination.. etc. When the movie released, I used to play the computer game that name is Aion. Surprisingly the movie and the game was matched.

5. The Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015
As you know, now season 3 released. but I have never seen that not yet. Actually, I like all of MARVEL. Yeah. I don't need talk about this movie. Just go for it! You should watch the movie.
