A Night at the Movies

Movies are always a subject worth discussing, and yesterday we shared some of our favorite movies, as well as some movies that we just plain don't like. Also, some movies were liked by certain students and not by others, so we rated them as well. Read our movie reviews:

Borat: thumbs up
A review by Sara


Borat, a reporter from Kazakhstan, goes to America and meets institutional people. They have various customs, and when Borat is with them, they feel embarassed. I like this movie because people who watch it often don't think about their material and superficial lives, while other people are living without anything.

Borat: two thumbs down
A review by Liana


The movie Borat is the story of a reporter from Kazakhstan who goes to New York to write a report about his culture vs. the American culture. From my point of view, it is a disgusting and vulgar film with images that are too strong. I think that it could have been done in another way, for a more general audience--kids included! Some images are funny too, but there are so many other aspects of a country's culture--not just what a man does in the restroom!

Upcoming reviews: Notting Hill, Dancer in the Dark, The Simpsons!
