Homework - Posting to the movie club

Today we read paragraphs written by four different people in an online movie club (page 2 - Alejandro, Carolyn, Nan and David). The people in this movie club described their *taste in movies.

*taste has many meanings, one meaning is preference

Write a post to the movie club (5-7 sentences) describing your taste in movies. Use some of the questions below to help you write.

  • What genres of movies do you like?
  • What do you like about movies?
  • What genres of movies do you dislike? 
  • What do you dislike about movies?
  •  Do you ever have to strike a compromise with people when you're trying to decide what movie to watch?
  • Are you a sucker for any specific genre of movie?

  2. My favourite genre of movies is crime / thriller movies. I like them because they are exciting, suspenseful and unpredictable. My least favourite genre of movies on the other hand, would have to be chick flicks or romantic comedies. I find the plot very boring and predictable. If there's a romantic comedy on television on a Sunday and I'm bored or sick, maybe I will watch it but I wouldn't go to a theatre to see it. I sometimes have to strike a compromise with friends and family because they like chick flicks and sometimes more wholesome movies. I'm definitely a sucker for action movies, I can watch them again and again!

  3. My favourite genres is comedy and suspense. On the one hand sometime I only want to see a movie for laugh but on the other hand sometimes I want to see movies that could be interesting and will have an unpredictable end.I deslike all movies that are romantic comedies and also all the movies that could be a chick flicks.I deslike this type of movies because normally they don´t have an interesting plot, normally they are very slowly and don´t have any action.Sometimes with my girlfriend I have to strike a compromise, because she have very different taste in movies.Absolutely I´m a sucker for comedy movies, I think not miss any classic comedy movies.

  4. I like every genre of movies. I love go to the cinema on weekends or watch the movies on tv. But I don't like the horror movies, because after than i can't sleep in peace. So, it's not common for me have to stike a compromise with someone, because i love any kind of movies and for me don't matter what type of movie i'm watching. I'm sucker for all the drama movies, I love it and I cry everytime that I watch them. ;)

  5. My favorite genre of movies is comedy & drama with humanity. I really interested in these genres.
    Because, these genre touch on my heart.
    Actually, I don't like just a tearjerker.
    But, emotional movies without sad or tear is moved my mind.
    I can understand about real life with humanity through this comedy & drama.
    It hasn't strong and technical visual like an action movie.
    But, drama has more strong power without them.
    As you know, I dislike hardcore and crime movies.
    Sometimes this type of movies is too cruel to watch them. blood, murder, terrific scene...
    Maybe, such a movie has a bad influence and finally, it has a bad impact on our behavior.
    Usually I have to strike a compromise with friends because, normally they like action or crime movies. But, I try to accept a taste of them.
    Of course, I'm a sucker for drama with emotional humanity and humor. I love to watch them again and again.
    Because, when I watched them again, even more I could feel in another way before I never felt

  6. My favorite kind of movie is comedy. I like them because they are exciting and makes me laugh a lot.
    I don't like romantic and tearjerker movies. They usually are so boring. Nothing interesting happen and the stories are so predictable.
    I always strike a compromise with my girlfriend, because she loves action and I prefer comedy, that's why we make a deal, one day I choose the movie and the other day she chooses the movie.
    I'm not a sucker for any genre, I just have a preference for comedy and when the film is good I like to watch twice.

  7. I am a sucker for any kind of scary Movie or suspense movie. Because all the time while you are watching this kind of movie you will feel nervwracking And this what I like about it. I don't like romantic movie because I feel bored when I watched. On the other hand, suspense or scary movie you will feel exciting and wondering all the time. Also I like big budget mainstream movies. They have famous actors. Mohammed

  8. My favourite genre of movie is romantic comedy. I prefer to watch this kind of movie because it makes me smile. In addition , i like tearjecker movies. Because this movies' plot can be based on real life. That's why , if people need to cry , they can watch this kind of movies and they can cry easily. I don't like B-movies. Because i want to see famous actors , good places and good script when i watch a movie. Unfortunately , i have to strike a compromise with my siblings. because they always want to watch sci-fi or horror movies.

  9. I am sucker for a horror and thriller movie like the '1408'. Because
    usually when people watch the horror movie, they feel scared. But in my case i feel exciting. at that time, I realize i am alive with my fast heartbeat. this feeling is awesome!.
    specially, when before something horrible situation happen, the extremely climax make me exciting. maybe i enjoy nerve wracking.
    but i hate romantic comedy movie like a chicks flick. because, this kind of women fantasy make me boring. almost i was slept when i saw this kind of movie at theater. because this kind of movie is so predictable. the reason i want to watch a movie is for enjoying and exciting. usually this felling is followed with unpredictable ending.
    but almost chicks flick movie ending is same as they lived happily ever afterward. it is not fit the purpose that i want to watch the movie.

  10. Basically, I prefer watching psycho-thriller movies which make most people feel tense! In my county, the thriller movies' sector hasn't developed enough, that's why only foreign movies are on my list, such as slience of the lamb, psycho, sixth sense and so on. Most girls tend to watch mainstream tearjerkers, unlike me. Actually I believe that the real drama occures when they are shot on location. Filming without independency is difficult to create a blockbuster!

  11. I really like triller and suspens movies, I think that genre of movie are too nerve-wracking and you need to be focus on to understand the main idea . In the other hand I really dislike crime movies, I feel so scared about that and then I can't sleep because there are lot of murders and kidnapping that make me feel so nervous. Its to common to strike a compromise with my friends because they love crime movies. I'm not a sucker for any genre of movie, I could enjoy all the genres movies: mainstream, tearjercker, B-movie, blockbosters, wholesome, chick flick and so on, except crime movie as I said before. I hate when somebody spoil the end of the movie and I prefer shot locationes .
