Our Party and The Stars!

Dear Cinephiles,
I want to thank you all for embarking on this adventure called "English Thru Movies".

The stories, the characters, our own experiences were all rich sources of English language improvement and personal growth. We all learned a lot from each other!!!

Our end-of-the year party was a lot of fun. Yummy food, beautiful Xmas decoration, friendly chat!

But the top moment of the night was the acting!!!

Your impersonations of Laura (The Hours), Latika (Slumdog Millionaire), Melvin (As Good As It Gets), Angela (American Beauty) and Su-Chin (Juno) were flawless... superb... worth Oscar Awards!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all in March with more movies, more language development and more fun.

To those taking the Summer Course, BE WELCOME!!!

Our next movie is...

MIDNIGHT COWBOY with fantastic performances of Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight; and amazing, unforgetable music.
