The same year, the singer Adèle won an Oscar for the best song . Daniel Craig is the greatest actor in Britain. He is so talented. I'm crazy about him. The film knows an international success. Léa Courbe « Edward Scissorhands » is my favourite film. It vas directed and produced by Tim Burton, who is the best director in the world but he has got crazy ideas! Jonnhy Depp plays the role of Edward. It was released on 7th december 1990. It's a romantic story, it tells the story of a creature with "scissor hands" who meets a young woman. For them, it's "Love at first sight" Tim burton criticizes the fear of strangers. I recommend this film which is wonderful but sad. Maëllie Hingrat "War Horse" is my favorite film. It is a beautiful story with lots of action. It was directed by steven spielbreg and released in 2012. It is the story of a horse, Joey. The dad of his owner needs money and sells Joey to the British army. His owner, Albert, really wants to find him and for this, he joins the army.

It was directed by Harald Zwart and produced by Sony pictures enternainment and Constantin film. The first parts are played by Jamie Campbell Bower (Jayce Wayland) and Lily Collins (Clary Fray). This film lasts 130 minutes (it's a little bit long !) and it was released in 2013. At first, it was a book called "the Mortal instruments; The city of Bones" and then it was adapted at the cinema. The story is about a girl, Clary, who discovers another world in the reality to which it belongs. She fights alongside shadow hunters to find her mother, who has been kidnapped by demons. It's a really good film i Emma Ardeois « Gravity » is the last movie I saw. I love this film, it's wonderful. Gravity is a spatial thriller written, produced and directed by Alfonso Cuaron in 2013 and produced by Warner Bross. The Commanding officer of the American space shuttle Explorer, Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), and the scientific astronaut Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), are the only survivers of a spatial mission intended to repair the Hubble telescope. They try to return to Earth by getting back at first to the international space station. I love this film because space is so beautiful and I love George Clooney. I think , it's the best thriller ever and as such it should have lots of awards ! Ewen Soulard « The Butler » is the last film I saw. It’s a great film about segregation. The story takes place between 1920 and 2008 with the talented and acclaimed Forest Whitaker and the famous Opra Winfrey. The film was directed by Lee Daniels. It was released on 5th august of this year. It is 132 minutes long. It’s a true story about segregation and a little boy who would like to try his luck in the world of important men. A great story about a man who works during more than thirty years at the white house. He met more than eight presidents. Forest Whitaker was nominated for two osars for his performance and the film made Barack Obama cry. Ema Rivalland "Skyfall is Daniel Craig’s latest film. I love Daniel Craig, I love his character so I love this movie ! It was directed by Sam Mendes, released in 2012 and produced by EON Productions. It is 143 minutes long. The credit song is sung by Adèle and it won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the best original song ! 007 must go on a mission to save the British government ! But is he still efficient ? I like this film because there is action and Daniel Craig (starring in Skyfall) is my favorite actor ! I enjoy the credits because Adèle sings very well and the song is beautiful. There is a love story between the leading role and a James Bond Girl. This movie is so exceptional I think a prize would be good for it !" Lola Philippon My favorite movie is “the lord of the rings: the return of the King”! For me this is the best adventure movie ever. It was directed by Peter Jackson and produced by New Line Cinema Production. It was released in 2003 and shot in New Zealand. It cost 94 000 000 $. It’s based on a novel of J.R.R. Tolkien.

He helps Aragorn and Frodo to defeat Sauron and his army. Gollum is a creature who leads Frodo to Mordor. Gollum is crazy but he’s very funny! The two camps clash. The army of Aragorn is assisted by the army of the dead. I like this film because there are a lot of action scenes and it's a different universe. It’s really funny with Gollum and Gimli the dwarf who argues with the elf Legolas Solenn Schmitt « Ps : I love you » is my favorite film because I fancy love stories, and because it takes place in Ireland.
