I don’t know how it is for you, but I think that films are the most
interesting programmes on TV. As you know, the first films were (1)__________ and
(2)__________, then came (3)__________ and (4)__________ films. But many of my friends
still like to watch those old silent films. They even consider (5)__________, the main
male star of many of those films, the best (6)__________ actor the world has ever seen! So
many people, so many film (7)__________ to satisfy their tastes. I am convinced that every
genre has something valuable in itself. Until recently I have thought that (8)__________
films are dull, because they tell about events that happened in the past. But when I saw
“Shakespeare in Love” I changed my mind. Superb (9)__________ by the (10)__________,
and beautiful (11)__________ and sets give a real feeling of 1590. For those who like
(12)__________ films I can recommend “The Matrix” trilogy. I guarantee that this film,
that tells about a possible future of our planet, will leave nobody (13)__________. The
(14)__________ of the film is very complex and exciting.
Nowadays many people say that TV (15)__________ our health and our mind. But I think that
they aren’t right. TV helps us to get more information about the world around us and to
(16)__________ our outlook. As for me, with the help of TV I get acquainted with the
traditions and customs in different countries. Of course you can watch (17)__________ to
know foreign countries better, but even from feature films you can get many interesting
impressions and learn additional information: how people greet each other, how they behave
in different situations and what languages they use. So I think that films on TV play a
very important (18)_________. They aren’t only (19)__________, they are also very
(20)__________, although many would disagree with this statement.

A. CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN
When Tom Baker gets a job offer to coach football at Northwestern
University in Chicago, he and his wife, Mary, move to the big city, which is a big change
for them and their 12 children, who range from pre-school-age twins Kyle and Nigel all the
way up to 22-year-old Anne who has already left home. With the recent publication of her
long-in-the-works book, Mary feels demands outside the home taking away as much time as
Tom’s new job does, so the two are forced to try to find new ways of parenting their
massive tribe, but they find their parenting styles aren’t always completely compatible.
B. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN:
The Curse of the Black Pearl
Set in the Caribbean Sea in the 17th century, this is the story of a
gentleman rogue of a pirate, Jack Sparrow (Depp), who teams up with the daughter
(Knightley) of a governor (Pryce) to stop the evil plan of a ship of dangerous pirates.
Led by their captain (Rush), they are trying to reverse an ancient curse that leaves them
stuck between life and death, with the light of the moon revealing their skeletons, like
some kind of immortal monsters.
С. STUCK ON YOU
Bob and Walt Tenor are small-town legends who excel at sports, and are
the proud owners of a fast-food restaurant where their four hands work the grill at
lightning speed. When the acting bug bites Walt, he convinces Bob to honour their
childhood pact to never hold the other back, and the brothers head West for the bright
lights of Hollywood. There the boys encounter the legendary diva – and Academy Award
winning actress – Cher. Cher casts Walt as her co-star in her new television series.
Suddenly the brothers become instant celebrities. But their real adventure is only
beginning, as Bob finds romance with a longtime cyber-pal, and the brothers make a
decision that will forever change their lives.
D. THE LAST SAMURAI
Set in the late 1870s, this epic film depicts the beginnings of the
modernisation of Japan, as the island nation evolved past a feudal society, as symbolised
by the eradication of the samurai way of life. We see all this happen from the point of
view of an alcoholic Civil War veteran turned-Winchester gun spokesman, Captain Woodrow
Algren (Cruise), who arrives in Japan to train the troops of the emperor, Meiji, as part
of a break away from the long-held tradition of relying on employed samurai warriors to
protect territories, as the emperor’s new army prepares to wipe out the remaining
samurai warriors.
