The MIB, a top-secret agency that polices, monitors and directs alien activity on Earth.

James Edwards, an NYPD officer, becomes Agent J. He and K pursue a Bug who is trying to steal a tiny galaxy.
I think this story is too concise though it is interesting. If it is detailed a little more, I will do a further evaluation.

There is a Bug in New York and everyone is in danger. Kay and Jay are the Men in Black and work for a secret agency which investigates alien activities on Earth. They must find the Bug quickly, because if they don't, there will be war. 'Bugs kill things - aliens and people.' There is a Bug in New York and everyone is in danger! Kay and Jay are the Men in Black - they work for an agency which investigates alien activities on Earth.

They must find the Bug quickly - if they don't there will be war Men in Black is a blockbusting Hollywood action film starring Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. The special effects are out-of-this-world!　（180 words）

Movie Review 2 KILL BILL

2007-10-24T10:00:00.003+09:00

KILL BILL was an action movie made by Quentin Tarantino and it was released in 2003. Uma Thurman plays the lead in this film as The Bride. In this movie, Chiaki Kuriyama a Japanese actress appears in the movie as GoGo Yubari and a Japanese actor Sunny Chiba also appears in it as an actor and he also coached actress swordplay action for this movie.

The Bride heroine of this film was the strongest killer of the worldwide assassination group called THE DiVAS once. She withdrew from the bunch on the occasion of her pregnancy and marriages. On the day of wedding however, she was assault by Bill the boss of assassination group and another 4 killers. People in the church were killed but she survived miraculously even though she got terrible illegal punishment by a group and lost her child. Four years later, The bride came out of a coma and she started to act to revenge for Bill and packs of killer. Her target is O-Ren Ishi the queen of the underworld in Tokyo.

This film has two patterns. One is an American version. It is omit violence scenes. Other one is Japanese version. It contains violence scenes but this type film has age limit. Fewer than 15 children can’t see this movie.

I like a scene that fighting at snowy Japanese garden very much and the part I remember clearly is “Yattimaina” that said by O-Ren ishi.

KILL BILL is continues KILL BILL 2, so, you must watch vol.2 but perhaps you don’t like violence scenes so much, I don’t recommend you to watch the Japanese version film.

Book Review 2-1

2007-10-03T09:22:00.001+09:00

This book is a story of money and love.
The main character is a man wants to be rich. He plans to marry a rich woman and kill like movie he watched.
I don't like this man. I was annoyed with his mind.
The man's girlfriend says "Money is unnecessary."
He doesn't consent to the word.
It exactly moves to the action that the title shows.
It was possible to read while comparatively throbbing from the beginning but ending thought it was too wild somehow.

Essay 1-6

2007-07-18T10:29:00.001+09:00

MY FAVORITE MOVIES

My favorite movies are THE SOUND OF MUSIC and SISTER ACT series.
Both of them are relate to music very much. I like music and singing so I can enjoy watching these movies and singing a song.
The best scene of THE SOUND OF MUSIC is Maria and children went picnic and sing a song “Do Re Mi”. I like this song because it’s very easy to sing, most of us know this song, and has many patterns of chorus. I like the scene that trap family sung songs at music competition. I want to join this wonderful family if I could.
SISTERS ACT and SISTERS ACT２　are also my favorite movies. It is yearning for me to sing the gospel music. I belonged to chorus club in my high schooldays, and I have played a musical. The title was SISTERS ACT2. This musical was very fun. I can sing gospel music with my friends. I like ‘joyful joyful’ very much. We sing this song with dancing. Gospel uses a little different way to sing in my mind, so, it is a little difficult for me to sing but I could have very fun time. I like ‘Oh happy day’ too. I was surprised by the boy’s high voice. I can’t sing this high tone voice even if I am a female. At first, students were not interested in to sing a song but at last, they enjoyed it very much.
If I could start over my life, I want to enter music school and study singing. These three movies are my best movies.

You should try it!!!

　　I have been taking TOEFL course on every Friday 6th period. July 13 was the last lesson day in spring semester, so, we went a drinking party.
There is a Mexican restaurant. It was the first time for me to eat such place. There are many things I have never seen until now. The picture is the bottle of Mexican beer. The right one is called 'TEKATE', and green one is ....sorry I forgot the name. Both of them was very good. TEKATE is easier to drink than Japanese beer. Dishes were also good but all of menu was a little expensive for students.

The worst day in my life

The worst day in my life happened when I was preschooler. One day, I was playing with rid on a swing in the kindergarten. I was very excited and wanted to reach higher, so tried to swing widely. Gradually the swing became faster and reaches higher. The view from swing was great at that time and I was at the summit of pleasure.
At that very moment this accident happened. Then I did not understand what happened to me. I floated in the air for a moment and fell down ground! I was flown from swing when it back. Fortunately, next to preschool was field so I fell down on the soil. Although my uniform was become dirty, I did not hurt myself anywhere.
Few minutes later, preschool teacher came to me and I backed kindergarten. Teachers worried about my health and contact with my parents but I felt down about the dirt of the earth of my body and uniform. I did not want to show this appearance to my friends because I was ashamed to answer what happened to me when I was asked to them. So I went home with my mother that day.
I still remember this accident vividly. It was very terrible day but when I was floated in the air for a split second, it seemed to me to fly in the sky.

I have watched this movie at American literary history class. This sisters like their father very much. Each of them has own special talent.

Meg is massive person. Joe has talent of novelist. Beth is good at playing the piano. Emily has capacity of drawing. However they often quarrel each other, they are getting along very nicely with together.

I have two younger sisters but not like this sister. This story reminds me of importance of family, brothers and sisters.

This is my grandparent's dog. His name is Musashi. There are 3 dogs in grandparent's house, but he is cleverer than others. He brings the news paper when he wants to eat some food. He likes to play with ball very much. When I say to him "bring the ball" he bring it and we play with it. He also gives me a ball in front of me from his mouth when I say "ball please".
He can climb the stairs but he can't descend the stairs. He goes up the stairs as he like and always ask someone's help when he wants to get down stairs.
He is not small as a miniature dachshund but very very cute boy.

Treasure Island

I want to travel to find treasures but when I really find the fortune I might be like Long John Silver. I want to have treasures all to myself.
I was surprised when Long John Silver betrayed Jim but that is the point of this story I think.

I knew "Wallace and Gromit" when I saw TV commercial. This book was easy to read and story was also interesting. Wallace and Gromit are good combination.
When the robber penguin called 'chicken' I didn't understand why he called chicken but I fund the answer. The penguin put on a red glove on his head. It looks like chicken. I want to read another story of them.

From June 14 to June 21, my home's bath had broken so, we must go hot springs to take a bath. We went to some hot springs. We went to 'shichijyo no mori' most.
I enjoyed to go out taking a bath at first, but it has bothered on me. To go out at night was enjoyable but whole a week was too hard. However, onsen was very comfortable.

A Memorable Day in My Life

My memorable day happened when I was 17 years old. I was high school 2^nd student. I was belonged to the chorus club and our club advanced to the Kyusyu competition of chorus. This competition is very high level especially in Kyusyu, and it comes around different prefectures in Kyusyu and Okinawa each year.

Fortunately, that year was held in Kumamoto, so, we don’t need stay at hotel moreover, the hall was the Prefecture's Theatre where we used to go. Therefore, we did not feel nervous so much and could sing enjoyably.　While we wait for the result, all of us prayed that our club would pass the competition and would advance the National Competition.　Then the result was announced, we heard our club name won the gold prize and would advance the National Competition! We were shout for joy each other and cry for joy because it came after an interval of 5 years for our team, but , after that, my throat got worse for a while since I shouted and cried too much. I still remember that pleasure.

The National competition was held in Tokyo. This time we got a silver prize. There are many excellent schools in this competition. There, we not only singing a song but also learn about music and chorus.

I couldn't forget this glad day forever.

My Favorite Animal

My favorite animal is cats. Especially, I like long fur cats. So, I have 3 cats and they have soft white long fur. They have fluffy fur and it is very smooth and warm in winter but a little uncomfortable in summer.

Cats don’t need to take a walk regularly and to discipline “sit” or “stay” for example, besides they return home when time to eat if they are go out.

One of my cats name Salsa, a male cat, return home when we call his name, or when he hears my family voice or the sound that put cat food in container. He always comes near to us and if we pat thigh when we sit down, he used to get on my thigh and relaxed and sleep with he purred. I like this time very much.

Another my pet cat Momo, a female cat loves being stroked. Especially she likes stroking ears. This is her charm point. She has pinkish ears and very cute. She always mew when she hears our voice, and pester to stroke me! So, I stroke her and others every morning .

My cats are very pretty. Momo and Salsa had many kitties, and now, they have grandchildren!! I also have 3 dogs but, I like cats better than dogs.

My favorite thing is music. Music is my life. I met music for the first time when I was kindergartner. I started to take lessons in an electronic organ. So, my father bought me a keyboard. I was very happy. I used to sit in front of the keyboard and play it when I have times.
From 6 years old to 15 years old, I took lessons in the piano once I have dreamed of becoming a pianist or music teacher. When I was 3rd grade of elementary school, I began to chorus in school club. It is very happy for me to sing a song with many friends. I got to like to sing a song.
But, in Junior high school, there is no chorus club, so, I became a member of brass band club. In the club, I played the baritone saxophone first. It was very heavy however; I like its low sound. I also played the alto saxophone. I was fascinated by saxophone and brass band music next.
In my high school days, I entered chorus club because there is no brass band club in my high school. I spend all my high school days in singing a song.
My life is together with music all the time. Music makes me active even if I depressed. Music is my precious thing!!
