film industry
My favourite film is ‘Matrix’ directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski, who are also the authors of the script. I love this film and rate it a notch above some of the other great action films of our time because it has a really well thought out story line and excellent twists of the plot. Acting is flawless and special effects stunning.
film generes
I love watching films so I often go to the cinema. I like dramas, horror films and comedies. I would also enjoy watching historical films if they were better cast and had more exciting plots. Nevertheless, the majority of them are rather poor. I also like to watch thrillers and adventure films but only if they are really gripping and breathtaking. I am not very fond of melodramas. Although they are sometimes really moving, all of them seem to be the same. I try not to watch dubbed films because I believe the ones with subtitles are much better as you can hear real voices of the actors.
to go to the cinema
How about going to the cinema today? I have checked the cinema programme and I think there are a lot of interesting films on. I will get the tickets after school as the box office is in my neighbourhood. I know you are a cinema lover so I will try to choose something worth seeing. And I will not forget that you hate seats in the front row.
