Tina: she is a sexy singer of the night club ‘Bongo-Bongo”.

Dorian: he is a member of the gang, and planning a bank rubbery.

Actually, Tina was frightened by Dorian into obeying him to help his plan. One day, Stanley discovers a mask in the sea after he tried to rescue what he thought was a man who was drowning. This mask was pictured as the Norse god of tricks and deception, Loki.
When Stanley puts on the mask, he is transformed into a brightly, fearless, and active man who is wearing yellow colored suits and having a green colored face. And more, he learns mysterious power that he can do anything what he wants to do. He takes revenge for all of those who made fun of him by this power.
Next morning, he wakes up thinking it was a dream. But, he is scared after watched the news from TV because it was same as what he did yesterday with the mask. However he couldn’t give up his passionate love for Tina. So he put on the Mask again, and goes to the bank, because he needs money. And Dorian and his party are trying to get into the Bank at the same time.

She also likes him, however, Stanley (Mask) is framed as a suspect of bank rubbery from the polis. Although he tries to escape from them, he was arrested and put in jail. Dorian snatched his mask.

Stanly gets back the mask with the help of his dog Milo, puts on it again and defeats Dorian and his gang. Finally, he saves Tina and kisses her.


My opinion
The tempo of this story line is so good and we don't find unbalanced sense of laughing in this movie because this movie was made as going down well with everyone. Especially, the computer graphics are very funny! I can't help but laugh at it.
And, I love Stanley's dog name is Milo! He is so clever and faithful for him. However, I never thought that even he put into the mask, so, I was so surprised when he did it.
Anyway, this movie is good for laughing! We can watch this when we get together as a home party or drinking party. This movie is easy to understand the storyline and included many senses of laughing!
Cameron Diaz is still young and not sophisticated yet in this movie, however her figure is so nice! Everyone, especially girls can't help but adore her! Jim Carry is all that as a comedian!
So, good! (524 words)

Buuuuuuuut!! It’s so difficult to prepare for speech paper. In different to daily conversation, the speech needs more polite and formal grammar. I don’t become familiar with these grammar and vocabulary, so it’s so hard to make a composition. Anyway, I have only 2 days for contest, so I have to practice for make a speech. And also I want an attitude that I can feel easily even if I stand in front of many audiences because I have a chicken heart!! (112 words)

Woody and Buzz obtains the help of toys that became a victim of Sid, finally beat him down. They chase Andy’s car at a terrific speed, and slide into the car.

My opinion
this movie has many attractive characters! On the whole, it is a happy story, however, very important things in the life are hidden in each scene.
And, although this is the theme of Toy Story2, I will write to this. For dolls or toys, which are happier, pray with children though they are made their body dirty, or be displayed as a collection being kept cleanly? It seems very difficult for us because we are neither dolls nor toys. However, I think for dolls or toys, perhaps they want to be prayed by children because they exist as a toy. Of course I have some dolls that I was given from my parents when I was a child, so, I will give some of these to my niece. And if she prays with these, my dolls will be happy. (612 words)
