【推荐1】The summer vacation is drawing near. Here we have prepared a visual feast for our boys and girls. Let’s feast our eyes first.
Jurassic World Dominion
It is the final film in the second trilogy of dino-movies, and it’s the first one which really deserves to be called “Jurassic World” rather than “Jurassic Park”. Yes, prehistoric dinosaurs are out and about in the wild this time, rather than being stuck in a theme park.
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Official Competition
Cruz and Banderas have been two of Spanish cinema’s famous superstars for decades, and yet have only rarely acted on the screen together. Now, once again, that wrong has been righted by Official Competition. Cruz is an art-house director who is adapting a Nobel-Prize-winning novel in the film. Banderas plays a dull Hollywood action hero who is hired to star in it.
Director: Mariano Cohn & Gaston Duprat
Brian and Charles
Not a typical science-fiction movie, Brian and Charles is a low-budget, low-key British comedy starring and co-written by David Earl, a regular in Ricky Gervais’s sitcoms. “Brian and Charles is this year’s sweetest film by a country mile,” says Cory. “It’s like Edgar Wright’s The Mighty Boosh project thrown into a cotton-candy machine, and it is also one of the most surprising films about being a parent, even when your son is a 7-feet-tall robot who loves cabbages.”
Director: Jim Archer
Lightyear
After four Toy Story films, everyone’s favourite space ranger action figure, Buzz Lightyear, gets to leave Woody and friends behind, and go off on an adventure on his own. Or so you might assume so. In fact, the latest Pixar cartoon isn’t about the toy.
Director: Angus MacLane

CJ 6 Fcbnuary,2019 Imagine tens of thousands of huge engines are pushing our planet away from a dying sun.The visual effect is impressive and goes well with the story. The story is not the typical Hollywood style: A superhero saves the earth; everyone else is there to give a round of applause. The movie "the Wandering Earth " brings a serious question to the audience: What are you going to do when facing an unavoidable disaster to our civilization? All characters in the movie are ordinary people and everyone gives their answer with shining humanity. Against all the odds(逆境)without a good fight. The chance of success is close to zero but they choose hope. It is a Sci-fi fan's feast you don't want to miss. |
Sylph 16 February, 2019 I'll expect spaceships in Hollywood movies when Earth is no longer suitable for human survival. But in Chinese concept, we will never abandon our home. We put 10000 engines on Earth and run away together. This is where Americans and Chinese differ. LOL |
Steve 27 February. 2019 This movie has a lot of dialogues, more than that’s necessary in most scenes. And the story lie could be better. Another issue is the cast, which is almost made up of rookies or fresh faces, Though the acting is not bad, it's certainly not consistent either |
Swan I March. 2019 Usually, foreigners in Chinese science fiction films are portrayed as either bad or incompetent( 无能的). Yet in "the Wandering Earth", the Chinese struggle to save the earth, and eagerly cooperate with an international force of largely nameless heroes It’s another reminder that in this depressing future human beings must unite. |
Mike 17 March. 2019 The screenwriting(电影剧本创作) fits right into the grand plot of the original novel by Cixin Liu. The story, the setting and the special effects made his imagination come alive! |
1. What does the underlined sentence indicate in the CJS comment?
| A．In the Wandering Earth, everyone works together to save the earth. |

【推荐1】You know that classics like Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird started as novels. But you probably didn’t know that these other famous movies also came from books.
Hidden Figures
This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s. It was actually based on a 2016 non-fiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
Forrest Gump
The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks. Although the movie’s critical and box-office success gave the book a huge boost, it’s the film that made its mark on pop culture history.
The Girl on the Train
Paula Hawkin’s psychological thriller, about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window, was a huge success. But unlike the fast—paced, can’t-be-put-down quality of the novel, the movie was boring.
Field of Dreams
It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie: Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield, and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams, childhood heroes, and healing the pain of the past. The 1989 movie is based on W. P. Kinsella’s 1982 original, Shoeless Joe, but cuts out some extra characters.
