Before watching the movie let’s read some Film Reviews

A teenager discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods. --- Written by IMDb editor

It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy finds himself caught between angry and battling gods, he and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves. ----- Written by 20th Century Fox

PERCY JACKSON - You will have 45 minutes to watch the movie and to take as many notes as posible in your notebook. - After that you will have to answer to a Listening comprehension questionaire.

Read outloud:          BIG FISH                             (w/key words)“Big Fish” is a very emotional film about the relationship of a father and his son. It combines comedy, fantasy and emotions. It is a typical Tim Burton movie. The film stars Ewan McGregor as Edward Bloom who is the main character. The cast is not very well known, but Ewan McGregor plays a very good performance.2. We can see in the film that Edward Bloom is old and sick, and he is going to die. He has not talked with his son for many years. His son hates his father´s tales about his live because he thinks that he is a liar because his stories are so fantastic. So during the film you go back to the past, living the incredible Edward´s experiences of his live, and you return to the present to feel how the relationship between the father and the son evolves and gets better. 3. There are not amazing special effects or frenetic action, but the script is amazing and also the end will make you cry.4. I would recommend the film to anyone who likes Burton´s films and who wants to feel his kind side, and also who likes fantastic tales.
