[Brian LEE]

My name is Brian Lee. I don't know well this website. But i like watching movies. So i come here~ quickly!
I'd like to see all movies at . if i have to choose only one i totally wanna see the devil wears prada or traning day. Actually, I like the American dramas better than the movies.
Because it's not boring and you know, look forward to the next stroy~ !
So i watch the Supernatural every day. The Supernatural is American drama. Relly famous. Cheak it out~! And i have seen Ugly betty, Gossip girl, Band of Brothers, Lost, White collar, Hannah montana, 24 hours, Moderm family......blah~ blah~

Anyway, my favorite genre is all.......without documentary.......And i really like spectacle movies. Avata, Independence day, transformer, i am number 4....something like that.

And.....my best touching movie is "perfect world"
I saw it ten times over when i was a high school......maybe~??

Try to see this movie if you have much time! Great movie!!

thanks everybody~ see you in class~



Teacher's Note: Brian-- Is that Kevin Costner from "A Perfect World"? Don't think I've ever seen it. Thanks for the recommendation. My fav film critic, Roger Ebert , gives it **** . You can find his review at http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbc ... 40304/1023.

Glad to read that you are a true movie fan. I hope you enjoy watching, discussing, and writing about the films in our class. Thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

Hi Mike,
I am jo, you got a nice icon! I didn't have any favorite genre, becouse i like to watch every kind of movie.
My favorite movie is Transformers. However it is a 3D movie~(i hate 3D movie).
I like Transformers very much, the reson is that my frist birthday gift is a little toy of Transformers~(JAZZ),
and i got different transformers' character toy every year~
So that why i very love this movie.
I am luckly, your movie list got this movie!!

See you in the class~you are a nice guy!

Teacher's note: I thought T-3 was one of the best 3-D movies I have seen. Of course, AVATAR remains the best in 3-D. I also have concluded that many of the 3-D movies I've seen recently would actually look better without the sun glasses. For example, Tron looks really dark in 3-D. It probably looks better in 2-D. Just my opinion. Thanks for posting your ideas. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

[Tony.Si.Yue]

Hello every, this is Tony.
I like the Comedy and Action movies. Because of the comedy can delight us, and the action movies can give us visual shock.
At present, my favorite movie star is Jason Statham. He is a great actor, and he plays many parts in a lot of movies, such as,
The Expendables, Transporter, and Crank. I like his films' style. He is a real man ,so cool !!!
And I also like the Chinese actors, for instance, Jet Li, Jackie Chan,and Donnie Yen. They also are the excellent movie starts.
But, I think I should watch more educational mvoies, such as, Shawshank, Titanic. It would be more help for me.
That's all. By the way, the picture in the homepage, is that ur picture? I think that man in the picture is u...So deep

Teacher's note: Yes, that is my picture in the upper right-hand corner. Most pages have my picture on them. Check it out. I'm a big fan of action, but when I watch dramas or comedy, I usually feel something after the movie. So action movies that also have drama or comedy are usually my favorites. Titanic has both. So does AVATAR. So does Transformers. Thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

Home alone is a good movie that I liked ,Home alone one two three,That all I have seen, I like them very much, I can make me happy, also can let me know something about American culture life and habits. Really nice!
Watching movies is a good way to improve our Enlish, I would like to have a full English environment so that I can make progress! right?

Teacher's Note: I agree movies are a great immersion tool. I select movies for the classroom to show some aspect of American culture. Thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

[suetkwan]

Hello~! Mike
I like Disaster and Comedy movies. Because disaster movie can make us know that we should stop destructing the nature,
and comedy movies can make us joyous. My favorite movie is AVATAR ,because Avatar is a 3D movie and its story is super compact and dynamic,
among the CG effects is amazing and the bold attempt by the director is admirable.
Also the moive is touching because the local people spent their lifes to protect their home.
And then,the moive is touching because the local people spent their lifes to protect their home.

thank you~!
see you in the school ...byebye

Teacher's note: I especially like your comment about disaster movies. Consider 2012, for example. AVATAR is one of my favorites too. It and Scrooge remain the only 3-D I've see that actually benefit from 3-D. Thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

[Tung092]

Hi, I am Tung.

My favorite movie geren is horrible movie, but also i like comedy, action and science fiction movies. So, I watch almost all of movies from hollywood .

My first choose is horrible movie, but in the page i didn't really like the "Deep blue sea", i like killer, ghosts and zombies type horrible movies more.So i got the "Transformers" in this page, because I also like action and science fiction movies too, we can see many Large-scale combat from robot to robot. Then, its story is not bad, and also the robots are awesome. Maybe one days human can build it to be true


thank you for watching, see you all in the school day

Teacher's note: Sorry, but I had to chuckle when I read your post. A 'horrible' movie is a movie of poor quality. I think you mean a 'horror' movie. I've known several other students who made this mistake. It's an easy one to make.

Overall, sounds like you have a wide variety of movie interests. One problem with watching action films in class, is when we see them on a TV, the picture is too small. Wish we had a big-screen projector. Thanks for posting. --mike www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com

Hi, guys.
My name is minsu

Teacher's note: Thanks for the posting I must admit, I can be a pretty emotional guy too. Just ask the two females in my life. All the best.

[OlegFromRussia]

My name is Oleg, I thing you know me.
I have many favorite movies of various genres. Here are the most favorite: "Knockin'On Heven's Door", "Forrest Gump", "Gladiator", "Mask", "RocknRolla",
"The Shawshank Redemption". But I think "Knockin'On Heven's Door" is best for me. This is a very interesting film about two people doomed to death. Acting is excellent. I've seen this movie many times in Russian, and happy to look it in the class in English.
Thank you! See you in class!


Teacher's note: 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' sounds like a cool film. I looked it up at http://www.imdb.com. I'm probably the only guy in the world who didn't care for 'Forest Gump' (Here come the rotten tomatoes.) I thought Tom Hanks was very fake--didn't seem real at all. I think he was laughing at himself the whole time he was making this movie. Right Tom? Thanks for posting --mike http://www.MoviesGrowEnglish.com
