Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.
On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the side of the bed.
On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the light at two o'clock,and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At about one o'clock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.
When it comes to spy thrillers, Tony Gilroy knows the game. The formula for a crackling entry into this genre is simple enough: keep the action moving and the twists coming, then engage in one late innings sleight of hand that pulls the rug out from under everything. Gilroy, with an adroitness Hitchcock might admire, works admirably in this arena, turning in a screenplay that's more diabolical and pulpy than his convoluted directorial debut, Michael Clayton, but no less fun. He maximizes his assets, and considering the wattage of his stars, they are considerable. Although one could not consider the plot for Duplicity to be air-tight, the holes are small enough for things to remain afloat until after the proceedings have ended. A post-movie dissection on the way home in the car will reveal some obvious plotting problems.
最近,我看了一部极具“人情味”的动画片,它的名字就是《玩具总动员》。
它讲述的是:
胡迪是小主人安弟最喜欢的传统牛仔玩偶,他和其他玩具趁主人不在时,便会“活”起来一起玩闹。可是好景不常,最新奇的热门玩具巴斯光年来了,他让胡迪备受冷落。失宠的胡迪为了巩固自己的地位,只好处心积虑地想要赶走巴斯。最后,胡迪和巴斯不幸化敌为友的故事。
看完此片,我想到了那些以前被我丢弃的玩具,它们在黑暗的垃圾桶,废弃堆里,是否会伤心,是否会抱怨?我想是的,因为它们不仅仅是玩具,它们也是有思想的,当你的玩具被你遗忘的时候,他们也会难过的。
或许,你现在觉得那些老玩具已经不潮了,但是你在抛弃他们的时候,没有怀念过曾经与他们在一起度过的美好时光吗?
Everyone knows that Meryl Streep is the high priestess of drama, but she never gets enough credit for her comedy skills. That should change with The Devil Wears Prada, a sinfully funny, deliciously glossy take on the 2003 best seller by Lauren Weisberger, who denies writing it as a poison-pen letter to her former boss, Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The names have been changed, of course, to ward off lawsuits. Stepping up to the plate as imperious fashion editor Miranda Priestly, Streep knocks every laugh out of the park. More remarkably, she humanizes a character who was little more than a bitch in Manolos on the page.
Streep teams up hilariously with Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, the "smart fat girl" (she's a mere size 6 who applies for the job as Miranda's junior assistant at Runway magazine. Andy, a journalism major at Northwestern, had her eye on The New Yorker, but is told that if she can run the gantlet of Miranda for a year, there is no publishing Everest she can't climb. Before you can say "makeover,"Andy is transformed from a gawky giraffe into a swan who can trade up in lovers -- from sweet chef (Adrian Grenier to literary stud (Simon Baker -- and from cotton blends to chicest of Valentino, Chanel, Donna Karan, Bill Blass, Galliano and Prada. Guys who know squat about labels can take pleasure in the uberbabes wearing the threads.
Director David Frankel makes expert use of the light touch he brought to HBO's Entourage and Sex and the City. And screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna leeches out the book's malice in favor of wicked sass. Does the movie bite the fashion hand that feeds it? You bet. But it also pays due respect to the artful details turning the wheels of an industry that only seems frivolous. There's no doubt Andy learns much from watching Miranda at work, even with all the insults and fool's errands. The script tries to paint Miranda into a corner -- the lonely careerist who can't keep a husband or find personal happiness -- but Streep won't wallow in the cliches of victimhood. In a party of a movie, her performance is a comic and dramatic tour de force. comic and dramatic tour de force.
还是一贯的梦工场的高水准,画面精致细腻,人物生动传神,故事情节曲折动人,最重要的是它以最简单易解的方式说明白了一个道理,那就是——世界上没有任何捷径和秘籍,唯一的制胜法门就是相信自己。
不想再说更多的剧情,因为它真的很出色。看的过程中,频频出现人们会意的笑声,整个氛围相当的轻松和惬意。这个片子做得非常地道,一点儿也没有是由西方人演绎的感觉,不论是故事还是其中传达的意境,不论是画面还是其中的细节,都是东方式的;唯一特别的可能就是出现的现代的口语,比如ok之类的。

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" — The sixth movie in J.K. Rowling's fantasy series about the young wizard is the franchise's best so far, blending rich drama and easy camaraderie among the actors with the visual spectacle that until now has been the real star.
The hocus-pocus of it all nearly takes a back seat to the story and characters this time, and the film is the better for that, brimming with authentic people and honest interaction — hormonal teens bonding with great humor, heartache that will resonate with anyone who remembers the pangs of first love. The movie escalates the peril for Harry (Daniel Radcliffe and his best pals, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint, while giving the threesome that first collaborated as prepubescent kids their best platform yet to show their maturing acting chops.
Director David Yates, who made the fifth film and is doing the final two, stays true to the Rowling recipe yet infuses it with a freshness and energy that make it seem like a new start, not the stale old chapter six it could have been. Harry's main challenge this time involves an assignment from headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon to retrieve a critical memory that a new teacher (Jim Broadbent possesses about the evil Lord Voldemort.
Along with the splendid visuals, the movie offers stirring support from Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane and other co-stars. PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality. 153 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.
