Titanic
In the movie, this story is presented to the audience as a flashback. The narrator is Rose, 101 years old, with the last name Dawson. She tells the story to a treasure hunter (Bill Paxton), who is looking for the famous (and valuable) Heart of the Ocean, a diamond that was given to Rose by her fiance, Hockly.
The recreation of the ship, both the exterior (the rendering for which was done using Digital Alpha processor running Linux) and the interior are impeccable. The dialogue is witty and brilliant. The movie is slow at times, but reaches its climax when the ship begins to sink. The fact that Cameron takes his time in telling the story makes it all the more tense. Cameron could have skimped in any of these areas (dialogue, cinematography, effects, authenticity) and still come out with a great movie, but he doesn't. He sticks to the formula that has worked in other great epic movies, and he pulls it off one hundred percent.
The ship was thought to be unsinkable, and so a compromise was made on the number of lifeboats aboard. When the ship did sink, it is the richest that got first priority on the lifeboats. While they waited in half-full lifeboats, they were exposed to the cries of people freezing to their deaths and didn't do a thing to help them. If a similar tragedy were to happen today, would the result be any different?
The acting is excellent by all concerned, but I was most impressed by Zane. The nice thing about a ship sinking is that it is a relatively slow event, and Cameron takes every advantage of it. The depiction of the mighty ship going under is so much larger than life and I feel this is the most magnificent part of the movie. Just for that reason alone, Titanic is a movie not just to be seen, but to be experienced. So make sure you see it on the big screen. It goes to show that the concept of the disaster movie is far from dead.

Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope
This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?
Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.
Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature. With its humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea entrusted the fi lming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.
What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor people at the Bangka Belitung province
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor school children of the Belitung Island
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about poverty in Kampung Gantong in Bangka Belitung
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about an inspiring story towards a better life
‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about Andrea Hirata
I believe there is a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 best seller novel. The book awas certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Adrea Hirata. To be honest, I didn't expect anything too spectacular from the movie.
Laskar Pelangi is no doubt one of the best Indonesian movies. I beats the Denia: Senandung di Atas Awan and Ayat-Ayat Cinta. It is a 5-star masterpiece in Indonesia. The movie depicts social and educational issues in Indonesia particularly in remote islands. It also strongly declares that everyone needs education and be educated. There are a lot of life lessons offered by the movie.
I can't stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous film. As a matter of fact, i can't name a flaw! The casts are perfect as many of them are leading and famous Indonesian actors and actresses. Credits to Cut Mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher. Author Andrea Hirata is a genius since he successfully built a story line which is beautiful, touching and engaging at the same time. So get yourself boxes of tissues when watching the movie. Thanks to the director Riri Riza and the producer Mira Lesmana for making this movie possible. Even the author was amazed the crew's job and stated that the movie was better than his original writing. In addition, the movie exposes beautiful scenery of Belitung Island.
Question: We can conclude that the reviewer ... before he watched the movie.
was skeptical about the movie
believed the movie will be good
had no idea when the movie will be release
thought there will be something about the movie
didn't know who produce the movie
Reading the three plots of Marry Higgins Clark in All Through the Night concern a stolen gold ornamental cup, a missing baby, and a will which seems to be deceitful. To solve the mystery, she revives her beloved characters; Alvirah, the former cleaning woman; and Willy Meeham, the plumber who won the lottery. They left their life in Jackson Heights, Queens, for an apartment on Central Park. The two have fun along the way solving the puzzle.
The pace is swift and the story is pure escape - totally fun Mary Higgins Clark. I admit, however, that l am still trying to know what melody of the song "All Through the Night" sounds like.
This holiday season, put aside your chores and curl up on couch with All Through the Night. When you close it you will be relaxed and more ready to enjoy the festivities. And then you might just want to tuck a copy into someone's stocking or gift bag, as well.
What is the writer's suggestion for the holiday season?
Left your life for an apartment in Central Park.
Put aside your chores and read the novel.
Tuck a stocking into someone's gift bag.
Stole a gold ornament and he deceitful.
Have fun and solve some puzzles.
Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones
Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children’s fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of the staff is in league with Voldemort.
Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an English public school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house cup.
So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.

The story of Harry Potter began when ....
he became an orphan
his uncle and aunt adopted him
Voldemort was killed
his parents killed Voldemort
his uncle and aunt killed Voldemort
All and each Harry Potter series both movies and book hold a particular part in my heart. And by that means, I love it all. No, I won’t talk about the whole series. I’ll only talk about the 6th series of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half of Blood Prince.
The movie may slightly unsatisfying for those who read the book. It’s a dark time for Harry. It’s like a cup of hot cocoa on your cold morning, but your cat breaks the cup.
Harry Potter books have been a hit and been more potent since the Warner Bros decide to bring it to life through a movie. One or two changes from the text in the film is undeniable. We all know Harry has to feel one more lost on the last movie because Bellatrix killed his God-father, Sirius Black after they talk about lives together in an entirely safe village far from anywhere. Sure it’s like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry. As we always want happiness for Harry, many have hope that everything he’s been through will paid on the Half-Blood Prince. At the first hour of this movie, we can see Harry doing great for his Potion class even beat Hermione, thanks to the book previously owned by The Half-Blood Prince he found at the bottom of the cupboard.
But another dreary, depressing feel once again must we see on this movie as Dumbledore fall from the attic after being Avada Kedavra by his trusted man, Severus Snape aka the Half-Blood Prince. Not many things from the book were adapted. Instead, it almost entirely different. After the movie was released, you can hear some voice of disappointment roaring from some of the fans, including me.
Nevertheless, this is still an excellent movie to watch and of course worth your time. 7 stars out of 10 for the Half-Blood Prince! Don’t worry because every question and every scene missed in this movie will be soon explained on Deathly Hallows.

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible even the creation of life itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories; but the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare - not only for him, but for hos friends and family too.
Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story-frankenstein - was first published in 1818 and has been the inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a long way away from her original masterpiece. Classical comic presenting a full-colored graphic remains true to this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.
This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The Original Text stays faithful to Shelley's original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.
The quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for characters and locations, while the Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was written.
Even if you're not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It's a great story, and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who don't particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage them to search out the original book too.
As with the previous classical comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market. Not only, that you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelley's family Tree; a feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book's release; and a brief
Look on how Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.

My family of three went to see an early screening of the new Disney movie, ”Brave” yesterday, so I thought I would write a quick “mommy” review of the movie.
Disney definitely breaks the standard “Disney Princess” mold with this movie as Princess Merida is a fun, outgoing and wild girl that for once is not in search for the love of a prince. The characters in the movie are entertaining and I loved the way that the Scottish culture comes out in the movie. I found myself wishing for more music though, which is one of the things that I truly love about past Disney movies. I would compare this movie more with “Shrek” than a movie like “Tangled”.
As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 years old and up. The movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little disappointing for our three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed, but it is engaging enough for younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be forewarned of this if you are bringing children under the age of five years old.
I’ve always been a big fan Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie. It’s definitely not a favourite, but I give it four star for the relationship that build between Merida and her mother. I think this offers a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly listen to each others need and concerns.
What does the writer think of the music in “Brave”?
too much
too little
wild enough
demonstrative
very beautiful

What does the reviewer think of the movie?
It is definitely not the favorite
It has a good music composition
It is the same as the other Disney movies
It does not have any lesson for the children
It gives a bad impression of a mom and a daughter

All and each Harry Potter series both movies and book hold a particular part in my heart. And by that means, I love it all. No, I won’t talk about the whole series. I’ll only talk about the 6th series of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half of Blood Prince.
The movie may slightly unsatisfying for those who read the book. It’s a dark time for Harry. It’s like a cup of hot cocoa on your cold morning, but your cat breaks the cup.
Harry Potter books have been a hit and been more potent since the Warner Bros decide to bring it to life through a movie. One or two changes from the text in the film is undeniable. We all know Harry has to feel one more lost on the last movie because Bellatrix killed his God-father, Sirius Black after they talk about lives together in an entirely safe village far from anywhere. Sure it’s like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry. As we always want happiness for Harry, many have hope that everything he’s been through will paid on the Half-Blood Prince. At the first hour of this movie, we can see Harry doing great for his Potion class even beat Hermione, thanks to the book previously owned by The Half-Blood Prince he found at the bottom of the cupboard.
But another dreary, depressing feel once again must we see on this movie as Dumbledore fall from the attic after being Avada Kedavra by his trusted man, Severus Snape aka the Half-Blood Prince. Not many things from the book were adapted. Instead, it almost entirely different. After the movie was released, you can hear some voice of disappointment roaring from some of the fans, including me.
Nevertheless, this is still an excellent movie to watch and of course worth your time. 7 stars out of 10 for the Half-Blood Prince! Don’t worry because every question and every scene missed in this movie will be soon explained on Deathly Hallows.

We all know Harry has to feel one more lost on the last movie because Bellatrix killed his God-father, Sirius Black after they talked about living together in an entirely safe village far from anywhere. Sure it’s like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry. As we always want happiness for Harry, many have hope that everything he’s been through will paid on the Half-Blood Prince. At the first hour of this movie, we can see Harry doing great for his Potion class even beat Hermione, thanks to the book previously owned by The Half-Blood Prince he found at the bottom of the cupboard.
But another dreary, depressing feel once again must we see on this movie as Dumbledore fell from the attic after being Avada Kedavra by his trusted man, Severus Snape aka the Half-Blood Prince. Not many things from the book were adapted. Instead, it almost entirely different. After the movie was released, you can hear some voice of disappointment roaring from some of the fans, including me.
Nevertheless, this is still an excellent movie to watch and of course worth your time. 7 stars out of 10 for the Half-Blood Prince! Don’t worry because every question and every scene missed in this movie will be soon explained on Deathly Hallows.

All and each Harry Potter series both movies and book hold a particular part in my heart. And by that means, I love it all. No, I won’t talk about the whole series. I’ll only talk about the 6th series of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half of Blood Prince.

I believe there is a huge responsibility in adapting the number 1 best seller novel. The book awas certainly popular and everybody worships this work of Adrea Hirata. To be honest, I didn't expect anything too spectacular from the movie.
Laskar Pelangi is no doubt one of the best Indonesian movies. I beats the Denia: Senandung di Atas Awan and Ayat-Ayat Cinta. It is a 5-star masterpiece in Indonesia. The movie depicts social and educational issues in Indonesia particularly in remote islands. It also strongly declares that everyone needs education and be educated. There are a lot of life lessons offered by the movie.
I can't stop saying that Laskar Pelangi is a marvelous film. As a matter of fact, i can't name a flaw! The casts are perfect as many of them are leading and famous Indonesian actors and actresses. Credits to Cut Mini Theo since she brought such a strong performance as a determined teacher. Author Andrea Hirata is a genius since he successfully built a story line which is beautiful, touching and engaging at the same time. So get yourself boxes of tissues when watching the movie. Thanks to the director Riri Riza and the producer Mira Lesmana for making this movie possible. Even the author was amazed the crew's job and stated that the movie was better than his original writing. In addition, the movie exposes beautiful scenery of Belitung Island.
Question: Why was Laskar Pelangi considered to be one of the best Indonesian movie?
The book was a best seller
It was directed by Riri Riza
It exposes the beautiful scenery of Belitung Island
It was adapted from a book
It depicts social and educational issues

Question: What is "like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry" (par 3) described in the text?
The time when Dumbledore fell from the attic
The death of Sirius Black, his God father
The fact that he could beat Hermoine in Potion Class
The sound heard when the cat brake the hot coco cup
The sigh of fans' disappointment when the movie is different from the book

Question: We can conclude that the reviewer ... before he watched the movie.
was skeptical about the movie
believed the movie will be good
had no idea when the movie will be release
thought there will be something about the movie
didn't know who produce the movie
Reading the three plots of Marry Higgins Clark in All Through the Night concern a stolen gold ornamental cup, a missing baby, and a will which seems to be deceitful. To solve the mystery, she revives her beloved characters; Alvirah, the former cleaning woman; and Willy Meeham, the plumber who won the lottery. They left their life in Jackson Heights, Queens, for an apartment on Central Park. The two have fun along the way solving the puzzle.
The pace is swift and the story is pure escape - totally fun Mary Higgins Clark. I admit, however, that l am still trying to know what melody of the song "All Through the Night" sounds like.
This holiday season, put aside your chores and curl up on couch with All Through the Night. When you close it you will be relaxed and more ready to enjoy the festivities. And then you might just want to tuck a copy into someone's stocking or gift bag, as well.
What is the writer's suggestion for the holiday season?
Left your life for an apartment in Central Park.
Put aside your chores and read the novel.
Tuck a stocking into someone's gift bag.
Stole a gold ornament and he deceitful.
Have fun and solve some puzzles.
Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stones
Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children’s fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles – ordinary, non-magical people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – except that one of the staff is in league with Voldemort.
Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone comes from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an English public school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house cup.
So Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who haven’t read it yet – and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.

It was the dawn of science and technology. Anything seemed possible even the creation of life itself. Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with this idea and works relentlessly to prove his theories; but the glory he imagined becomes a living nightmare - not only for him, but for hos friends and family too.
Mary Shelley’s gothic horror story-frankenstein - was first published in 1818 and has been the inspiration behind numerous stage productions and films - many of which strayed a long way away from her original masterpiece. Classical comic presenting a full-colored graphic remains true to this classic tale, bringing the original story to life which has never been created before.
This graphic novel is available in two versions: Original Text and Quick Text editions. The Original Text stays faithful to Shelley's original text, while the Quick Text brings the story up to date by presenting the text into a more simplified style so that the tale is accessible to all readers.
The quick Text edition will allow you to soak up a general feeling for characters and locations, while the Original Text version will help you easily slip into the language in which the novel was written.
Even if you're not studying the original, this graphic novel is worth buying. It's a great story, and should be one that everyone has the chance to read. Now, thanks to this release, even those who don't particularly like to read too much are given the chance to find this tale and hopefully it may encourage them to search out the original book too.
As with the previous classical comics, the presentation is first class. The best grade glossy paper really helps to set this graphic novel head and shoulders above the usual comic book releases on the market. Not only, that you also get a pretty comprehensive biography of Shelley; Mary Shelley's family Tree; a feature that explains what life was like in the year of the book's release; and a brief
Look on how Frankenstein has been adapted to many different formats over the years.

My family of three went to see an early screening of the new Disney movie, ”Brave” yesterday, so I thought I would write a quick “mommy” review of the movie.
Disney definitely breaks the standard “Disney Princess” mold with this movie as Princess Merida is a fun, outgoing and wild girl that for once is not in search for the love of a prince. The characters in the movie are entertaining and I loved the way that the Scottish culture comes out in the movie. I found myself wishing for more music though, which is one of the things that I truly love about past Disney movies. I would compare this movie more with “Shrek” than a movie like “Tangled”.
As to the age of the kids that would like this movie I would have to say maybe 5 years old and up. The movie is not quite engaging enough for very young viewers, which was a little disappointing for our three years old. There were parts of the movie that our daughter enjoyed, but it is engaging enough for younger viewers in the audience and made them cry, so be forewarned of this if you are bringing children under the age of five years old.
I’ve always been a big fan Disney movies so on a 5-star scale I would rate this 4-star movie. It’s definitely not a favourite, but I give it four star for the relationship that build between Merida and her mother. I think this offers a great lesson to appreciate your family and truly listen to each others need and concerns.
What does the writer think of the music in “Brave”?
too much
too little
wild enough
demonstrative
very beautiful

What does the reviewer think of the movie?
It is definitely not the favorite
It has a good music composition
It is the same as the other Disney movies
It does not have any lesson for the children
It gives a bad impression of a mom and a daughter
