Reading
7 Read the film reviews below. Which film – A, B or C – are sentences 1–5 talking
about? Which film
1 doesn’t have as much action as expected? ____

2 is about a group of friends? ____

3 has already been shown in other countries? ____

4 is a romantic comedy? ____

5 is good for all audiences? ____

A Rocks
This sci-fi film is the newest from director John Manton, who also made the very
funny action comedy Kipper, that some of you may remember. Cinema-goers from
Australia to Canada have seen this film, and everyone young and old has really
enjoyed it – apart from the reviewers! The special effects are better in Manton’s
previous films, but don’t worry – you’ll still enjoy this!

B Forward!
Thanks to the costumes, make-up and camera work you won’t recognise the actors in
this sci-fi film – it’s all brilliant, and you’ll believe you’ve gone forward in time by
100 years. The film follows three people who went to school together in the US. It
shows what’s happened to them since then – and, as with all of this director’s films,
there’s plenty of action – and an unexpected love story, too!

C Run
The last film by this director, Canadian Jon Moss, was about quite a serious subject.
But this film will make you laugh out loud – and teenage audiences especially have
loved it! But what’s missing are all the exciting car chases that we usually get from
Jon Moss. Instead, this is more of a love story – but go and see it for yourself!
