American Comedy Musical "Sister Act" (天使にラブソングを）

Hi. Do you like musicals? I like them. "Sister Act" is one of the popular musical movies. I was very impressed when I first saw this movie.This movie came out in 1993 in Japan. The story writer is Joseph Howard and the director is Emile Ardolino. He made other movies, such as "Dirty Dancing." The running time is 100 minutes.

The main character's actress is Whoopi Goldberg. Her profession is singer, comedian, and actress. This movie helped her to become very popular in the USA.  Her singing voice is very powerful.

-Story-
Deloris, a club singer who works at "Moonlight Lounge," is the girlfriend of Vince, a mobster who has his territory in Nevada. Deloris witnessed her boyfriend commit a murder. She had to be protected by the police as a major witness, so she was sheltered in a monastery until the day of Vince's trial. At first, she couldn't get used to the severe life, but later, she could show her character when she was entrusted to lead the church choir. She arranged some tedious hymns into variations of Motown music and developed them into a flashy performance. She became popular with the local parishioners, but not with the Reverend Mother. Gradually, everyone was won over by her charm.

I think this movie's highlight is the musical scenes. There is lots of good music and good singing voices. My favorite charactor is Mary Robert (playing by Wendy Makkena). She is young sister, and her singing voice is very clear.

Exciting action adventure movie - "National Treasure"

Hi. When you were young, did you think that you wanted to become an adventurer? I did. Today I will introduce a movie that reminds me of a dream of such a young time. The movie is "National Treasure." This movie is a kind of action adventure movie. It was produced in the United States, and it came out in 2005 in Japan. The director is Jon Turtletaub. He made other movies, such as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice.” The running time is 131 minutes. 

-Story-

The main character is Benjamin Franklin Gates (the actor is Nicolas Cage). His job is a historian and adventurer. And he is the descendant of a family that inherited the secret of a treasure. After he became an adult, he was hired by a millionaire adventurer, Ian Howe, (the actor is Sean Bean). When he was in the middle of hunting, he found a pipe, which led him to a secret hidden in the American Declaration of Independence. Ian said that Ben was trying to steal the Declaration of Independence, but Ben denied it. Ben thought that Ian wanted to steal it, so he had to protect it.

My first impression of this movie is that it is like an Indiana Jones movie. But the production staff and Indian Jones movies are different, so I think that the staff wanted to pay homage to the Indiana Jones series. I like the Indiana Jones series, so I enjoyed this movie too. I think this movie's highlight is the climax scene. "National Treasure" is a series, and it will finish after the next story. I'm very interested in the sequel. If you want to experience excitement you can't usually experience in daily life, you should try to watch it.

This is Halloween "Nightmare Before Christmas"

Hi. This Friday is Halloween in Japan. The town overflows with pumpkins and ghosts. It looks so exciting. On Halloween day, I want to watch this movie, "Nightmare Bofore Christmas." It is a kind of Disney animation musical movie. It came out in 1994 in Japan. The director is Henry Selick. The original script and the character design are by Tim Burton. The running time is 76 minutes. I think  it's too short.

-Story-

The story's stage is Hallween Town. Halloween town's people are surprising and terrible, so on Halloween, they are very exciting. The story's main character is Jack Skellington. He is Halloween town's king. He got tired of the repetition of the same thing at Halloween. One day, he finds a mysterious tree with a door. He opens the door, and he enters "Christmas Town." There's a festive  atmosphere with a beautiful snowy scene. Jack likes Christmas very much. He plans to have Christmas in Halloween Town.

My favorite point of this movie is the character design. Tim Burton's sense is very fantastic. Helloween town's people are very cute. My favorite character is "Zero." Zero is a ghost dog, and Jack's pet. He is very sensitive to the a feelings of Jack.

Coolest Career Woman - "The Devil Wears Prada"

I'm a third grade university student. I have to start job hunting soon. I'm not sure I'll be able to find a job, but I want to be a cool career woman in the near future. I aspire to be like Miranda Priestley in "The Devil Wears Prada." Today, I"ll introduce the movie "The Devil Wears Prada." This movie came out in 2006 in Japan. The director is Devit Frankel. He made other movies, such as "Sex and the City."  The running time is 110 minutes. The original novel was written by Lauren Wiseburger.

 -Story-
Andrea Sax (the actor is Anne Hathaway) graduated from Northwestern University. She wanted to be a journalist. She found a job in the editorial department of the fashion magazine 「RunWay」. And she an assistant to Miranda Priestley (the actor is Meryl Streep). Miranda is the chief editor of RunWay, and she is a great career woman. But Miranda is very selfish.  She makes demands like the devil to Andrea (For example, she makes Andrea go out to buy her coffee.) Andrea is at a loss, but she keeps on enduring the demands for her dream. While she works with Miranda, Andrea gradually grows up.

 my first impression of this movie is the clothes which the characters wear are stylish. I think I want to wear such clothes. And Anne Hathaway plays Andrea very beautifully. She is so pretty. Andrea's character is similar to me, so I sympathized very much. Milanda is selfish, but, that is to bring up Andrea. I was impressed by Miranda's desire to educate her subordinate.

My favorite point in this movie is the theme song. The title is "Suddenly I See." The singer is KT Tunstall. I think it matches the contents of this movie very much. Each scene's background music is very wonderful too. Conposition is Theodore Shapiro.

If I can find a job safely, I want to work in a stylish company such as the Run Way editorial department.
