MR-4: Camp rock

The story is about the main character, Mitchie Torres, who wants to be a singer and goes to a music camp for rich kids. Her family was not rich, but her mother managed to get a job as a caterer there so she was able to attend the camp. Then she made some friends and met famous singers.
I have watched this movie over 5 times with my American host family in America. My host sisters were huge fans of the Jonas brothers. I did not enjoy this movie that much. I think it’s a bad version of ‘High school musical’. The plot was awful. I could always guess what was going to happen next.
Since it was a music camp for rich kids, apparently, she lied about her family because of her pride. She wanted to get in to the group. It is too obvious that someone will discover the truth somehow. Her mother worked at the kitchen in the camp, so she also needed to help her. She needed to make more lies to make it sound real. I could not understand why would she lie about her family if she is proud of her family? Because of that part, I could not like Mitchie for rest of this movie.
Also the mean girl Tess suddenly turned into a sweet girl at the end for some reason. It just did not make sense. The characters were so stereotypical and I could not believe they were real people.
If I was the director of this movie, I would definately change the plot. I would not let Mitchie lie about her financial situation. I would also have more scenes to show how Tess had changed and why she became such a better person at the end. I also found the actress who played Mitchie to be bad for the part and not a very good singer, even though she was supposed to be the best singer in the camp. All the other people at the camp had been trained and had rich or famous families, but it didn't really seem to make sense. Why go to a camp for this kind of event? I think the camp and musical themes were popular at the time and that is why this film exists.

(hate)food	i do not eat that much, especially something really sweet! But my family loves chocolates! but i do not really like chocolates, because after i have some it makes me sick. but when i was in america, my host family liked it so much and had some after every dinner. so i got used to it, and i started to like it. thats why i gained 10kg in 10 months. after i got back from america, i lost 10kg doing nothing, just did not eat much chocolate as i used to. also, i do not like eggplant, usually i eat anything but i can not like eggplant. i can not really like that texture...also i do not really like Oden. especially radish. my family loves it so much so we often have oden and there are always some radish in it. so when we have oden for dinner i do not really have anything for dinner. other than that, i can pretty much eat anything.
(hate)drink	i have been always hated milk. But i have been needed to have some since i was in kindergarden. When we had kyushoku, we gave teachers milk ticket, so we can have milk. But i never wanted to have one, so i did not drink it and took it home all the time. So my mom talked to my teacher so i did not have to have one. Then i went to elementary school, and i needed to have one every lunch time. I hated that system. So when the teacher was not there i gave it to my friend. I wanted to have water instead, but the teacher did not let me have water instead. So now i have not had milk since i graduated from high school, so it is more than 5 years. Maybe if i try it now i might like it. But i am kind of scared of trying it.
(hate)food	i like food. and i like to eat. but the food i do not like is eggplant. i do not really like the texture of it. and i think it tastes really bad. i also do not like milk. since i was little i always refused to drink milk. in kindergarden i needed to have some milk, but i always took it home. in elementary school and junior high school,　i also needed to have one because of kyushoku, but i always gave it to my classmates. i have not had milk for about 10 years. now i kind of forgot how does it taste like. but i do not want to try it ever again... also i do not really like sugary things such as chocolates, candies. i like salty stuff such as potato chips, senbei, squid. i also like sticky stuff such as natto, seaweeds, okra. they all are good for my health!
(hate) seasons	the season i do not really like is winter. winter is the only season i do not like. that all because of the coldness. i hate being cold so much. lately it started getting cold, i do not want to go outside and do not want to do anything. it makes me want to stay home, do not even want to get out from the bed. when i went to liverpool, it was like being in the hell having winter time. but the university was 30 mins walk away from where i lived, also i often visited my boyfriend so i needed to walk around in the cold. but besides that, liverpool was so nice. i like being in Kumamoto because most of the time, Kumamoto is warm and nice. where ever i live in the future it should be warm and nice all the time! maybe Hawaii or Bali?

MR-3: Kung Fu Panda

Po had a dream of being a Kung Fu master and saving China from evil. When he woke from his dream, he was at his house and heard his father saying telling him to wake up and he was so disappointed by his reality. But he could not tell his father. But once he was chosen to be the dragon master by chance, he started training in Kung Fu. He met his idols there, but they did not like him at the beginning because of his lazy attitude. Even his master Shifu did not　like him. And they tried to get rid of him, but he did not give up. Then the　master realized his passion for food could motivate him to do strict training.　That’s how the master trained Po.

While he was training, the five were　trying to defeat Tai Lung who　was Shifu’s first student. Shifu loved Tai Lung　like a son but he was greedy and violent, so had to be imprisoned. The five　failed to defeat Tai Lung, and he continued making his way to the temple to　find the dragon scroll. When Po finished training, Shifu gave him the dragon　scroll which held the secret of Kung Fu, which Tai Lung wanted to have for a　long time. But it was blank inside. Po did not get it at first. But once he　heard his father explain about his secret ingredient, he realized what it　meant. It meant there was no secret ingredient to be a Kung Fu master. One　should just be oneself.　

After he figured it out, he easily beat Tai Lung because he knew what　he needed to be good at Kung Fu! When Po saw his father again, he thought　it would be difficult to explain that he didn’t like making noodles, but　actually his father was happy that Po had found something he really loves,　and he told Po he didn’t have to make noodles any more. That is my favorite　part of Kung Fu Panda!
