Movie Review2 Shcool Of Rock











Character
Dewey: He is a member of of an unsuccessful Rock n Roll band. Although He loves Rock so much, his character is unprecedented(??). So, he was fired by his band. He is a good-for-nothing who thinks his most important thing is Rock music.

Principal Mullins: She is the “stiff “principle of the “strict” prep school. But, actually she loves the Rock n Roll.

Ned: He is Dewey’s best friend. He is kind, however, his girl friend Patty treats him as a pushover. Although he wanted to be a Rock n Roller, now he gave up being it, and he and Patty consider themselves to be something sensible.


Story: Dewey is a man who loves Rock n roll and a member of the Rock n Roll band. But, because he loves it too much, he often goes crazy and makes himself a nuisance to other band members. So finally, he is fired from this band. Dewey rents a room with Ned, however he can’t pay the rent and is imminent to be kicked out. One day, he catches an incoming call. The call is a commission to be a substitute teacher for a prep school for Ned. But, Dewey catches this incoming phone and he pretended to be Ned and went to the school to earn money and to pay the rent. This school is a private prep school “Horance Green Prep” with tight, strict rules. He became a fifth grade class teacher, however his students eager to study and no one like Rock n Roll, not only that, no one is interested in music. Dewey thinks about it impatiently, and wants the students to have an interest about music. And he discovered that his students have music talent, so he has an idea that makes some students entry for the Band Contest few weeks later. The reason is not for students but him, it is to get the prize money and to siphon off it into his own pocket.


My opinion: Anyway, Jack Black is typecast of Dewey, I think. He is really good-for-nothing, and selfish, however we can’t dislike him. And also we can truely understand how much he loves the Rock n roll . In his real life, he forms a Band and is very active. Unlike the movie, this band is so popular in U.S, and they have played their songs in the MTV music award. Including this movie, there are many music movies all over the entire world. For example, Sister Act, Music Of Heart, Brass. The Theme that human hearts grows into one through the music is common in these movies.
And, I ultimately think the music is really good. No one dislikes the music. Everyone absolutely has a favorite music genre. The happiness of singing, the happiness of dancing in time to music is the common happiness all over the world. I enjoyed watching this movie. (473 words)

My favorite singer Rihanna has lately her hair cut shortly. It looks so cute! I like short hair style and I had my hair kept short for 5 years until last year, so I want to try it again. But, I like long hair style, too. Lon hair style is gorgeous, sexy, and we can do many arranges to our hair style. Anyway I am puzzled between two symmetry hair styles. Ah~~~! Doshiyo~~! (115 words)

This book is written about a life for “an average American”.
The America is a very big country. And the biggest state is Alaska. But population is only 500,000. California has more people than any other state, more than 31,000,000. New York City is very small, but it is the biggest city not only in U.S., but all over the world.
And New York has very tall building; it is the Empire state building, 381 meters tall. The Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco in California is 1,280 meters long.
The U.S.A is also known as an immigrant country. The first people in America are of course Native American, and since 17th century, many people have come to America after Mayflower ship had arrived. In 18th century, America had independenced from England, and new country was born. George Washington became a first president. Today, we can see the first president and some executive people when they look at dollars.
About the American life, most state has many suburbs, and these are very far from shopping mall. So people usually drive a big car to get to there, and buy foods or some products for a week. Mall is very important to many Americans. Young people meet their friends there, and in bad weather, some people go for a work in the mall.
There are many different kinds of food in the U.S. many people make foods from their old countries. And, “First Food” began in America. A Typical American food is “hot dog”. But 50% American think they are fat. The one of reasons is food. American Foods are cheap, and a lot of oil.
Most houses in the U.S. are wood. Most houses have three or more bedrooms and two bathrooms. An average houses costs $150,000.
Americans love their cars. There are many songs, books, and movies about the cars in U.S! There are 200,000,000 cars on the roads! In most states, Americans can drive alone when they became sixteen. Life without the car is very difficult for Americans. Schools, stores, and work are usually a long way from house. Some towns and cities do not have public transportation systems although it is the big. Most Americans drive everywhere.
Of curse this country also has problems. The gap between rich and poor people is very big. And in the U.S., the gun is easy to get, so the number of crimes is getting higher. The problem of “colors” is very serious. Many colored people are living in there, however the racism is still existed.
There are four most famous sports in the U.S. these are Basket Ball, American Foot Ball, Base Ball, and Hockey are the biggest!!
The U.S. is also famous for the center of Entertainment. Some movies, musicals, and music festivals are there. these are always fascinate and smites us. (473 words)
