  3. 1) I like psychological horror movies or drama movies.

    2) It’s really difficult to decide, but I guess “The Clockwork Orange” directed by Stanley Kubrick would be my favourite. This is because when I first watched the movie it shocked me a lot, I felt something I've never felt before.

    3) My favourite directors are David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino. I really like Tim Burton first movies too. As regards actors, I really like Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt.

    4) I usually check out the trailers and then read the reviews of the films I'm interested in. However, if someone had recommended me to watch a certain film I watch it right away.

    1. Very interesting choices, Victoria. I agree that 'The Clockwork Orange' shocks the viewer in a way that it leaves an impression.
      I share your choice of directors, too!

  4. 1) I like comedy films

    2) I like too many films but now i can think in Titanic! I've seen it a hundred times and all the movie it's interesting for me, I love Leonardo Di Caprio. The story who the main characters interpret it's what I like most.

    3)Yes, i think I got one, I really like Woody Allen, I've seen many of his films

    4)Sometimes yes, I read film reviews to know what a film it's going to be about, that help me to know what i'm going to seen, also that helps me to decide if I see a movie or not

    1. Great!
      Be careful, since a summary is not the same as a rewiew, though. Make sure you understand the difference before you start writing :)

      Perhaps 3 is not totally clear: do you mean 'I don't care' or 'I don't pay attention' when you say 'I don't notice'?

  7. Oops.. I just logged in to see your answer, and now I realize that I didn't send the message yesterday.. Bleh, I wrote long answers, and I don't remember them now haha.

    1) What kind of films do you like best?

    I like all kind of movies, but I specialy like the ones that make me think and that inspire me. I like science fiction, dramatic, and animated movies.
    2) What's your favourite film of all times? Why do you like it?
    I can't choose one! Some of my favourites are Amelie, Big Fish, Wall-e, IA, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Pride and Prejudice.. Most of those I like because they move me, and because I like its music or animation.

    3) Have you got a favourite actor/director?
    I enojoy almost all of Hayao Miyazaki's works. I liked a lot of Tim Burton's movies in the past, but now I've grown tired of his style. I like actors like Robert Dawney Jr, Johnny Depp, Audrey Tautou, Anne Hathaway, Robin Williams, and Keanu Reeves..

    4) Do you ever read film reviews before you choose to watch a film?

    Not really, I just watch them if the argument seems interasting or if I'm curious about the film, even if I've been told it's not good..

  8. 1) I enjoy watching comedy and action films but I concider a great idea flims wich are like a "mix" of them, like Pirates of the Caribbean for example, wich is an adventure-comedy film. Or Big Momma, both great films!
    2) I love Buddy. The one of the superstar dog! I like it cause I love animals, specially dogs, and specially Goldens Retrievers wich is the kind of dog who takes the protagonisnm on the film. And I'm a sports-lover too. So the combination of a dog who play basketball or football soccer it's fascinating.
    3) No, I don't care to much on that things, for me it's the same, meantime the film is good...
    4) No, I allways watch the film and I don't read anything, I don't like reading haha. Sometimes yes but i usually don't.
