Friday Review by Scott Kerry

I watched the movie Elizabeth I: The Golden Age last Thursday with a group of friends. We watched it for a history project we're doing at school. It is a drama about Queen Elizabeth I. She was born in 1533 and became Queen of England in 1558. She was a really strong leader. Her ships won battles against Spanish ships in 1588. Before I watched it, I didn't know if I would like it. I don't like many dramas but this was fantastic. The story of the movie was really interesting and so many exciting things happened. It was great! All my friends loved it too. You really should watch it!

My name is Owen and my favorite animated films are Toy Story 1, 2 and 3. They made the first one in 1995. That was before I was born. Toy Story 2 was the first film I saw at the cinema. It was my sister’s birthday, so my parents took us to the cinema. I was very young but I loved the film. In 2010, eleven years after Toy Story 2, there was Toy Story 3. This time I went with my friends. We were all fourteen and we loved it so much. The films were about a boy called Andy and his toys. His toys, including Woody and Buzz Lightyear, were great characters. They were heroes but each film had a bad character. These bad characters always planned to harm the toys, but after lots of exciting, funny and frightening events, the toys always won.
