Film Reviews
A The Long Journey
This is the story of two young people who set off on a road trip. Filmed entirely in New
Zealand, you’ll see a lot of the wild countryside. Plenty of drama to enjoy plus there’s a real
message to this film.
B Stealing by Numbers
This is a classic adventure story from the past. Sir Harry Rifken is a world-famous diamond
thief in the 1930s who escapes from prison and, after a series of dramatic adventures, begins a
new life in America. Director Sally Hartman has created a film that will keep you guessing
until the final scene.
C Joss to the Rescue
Everyone loves Joss, the Saint Bernard dog who rescues people lost in the mountains of
Switzerland. It’s loosely based on a true story. The scene at the end where two young people
are rescued is sure to make you cry.
D Aim for the Stars
The story is about the very first people to fly to the moon. It looks into the lives of some of the
people involved in this important event, particularly Buzz Aldrin, the second man to step onto
the moon’s surface. This may be a true story, but there is enough drama in it to keep most
people interested. The last part of the film is quite unexpected.
E Tree of Life

5-6 класс
A beautiful documentary about the difficulties of life for the inhabitants of the Brazilian
Amazon Rainforest. It’s a surprising film, made almost entirely of interviews with local
people, recorded as they toured North America to tell people about the damage being done to
their environment.
F Down on the Farm
There are some exciting scenes where Wynonna Judd learns to race horses on her parents’
farm, but the relationship between Wynonna and her strict father is the central topic of this
unusual film. Although a lot of things happen in this film, it’s so well written that the story is
always easy to understand.
G The Island
This is a romantic film partly filmed on a beautiful Pacific island. What’s special about this
film is the quality of the acting. The audience really sees the couple’s happiness when they are
together and feels the sadness of the conclusion.
H Maximum Force
Ronnie Deane is the star of this film, so you know what to expect – a lot of car chases,
fighting and jumping out of planes. This one’s about a criminal who decides to become the
best private detective of the 21st-century. Fans will love it!
