Confessious of a shopaholic

I watched a DVD of movie called "Confessions of a Shopaholic" with my friends. I wanted to watch this movie very much when it was screened at cinema. But I wasn't able to go to see it. So I was very exiting before I watched it today. There were a lot of empathetic thing for me. The story of the movie was very interesting. The main character is Rebecka who is a shopping addiction. She went shopping and broke up the stores. She bought a lot of clothes, bags and shoes. There were a lot of clothes, bags and shoes in her room and there was no place to step. But she could not help buying them when she found nice clothes and shoes. But she had not money so much, so lots of her credit cards had maxed out. She noticed that something's got to give. So she tried to career change on her long-cherished dream of working at first-class companies. One day, she knew the fashion magazine named alet accepted new application. The company of fashion magazine named alet was her dream. So she supposed to have an interview with the company. But she came into regular employment in economy magazine company. It is a same publishing company as the fashion magazine. It was an accident! She found the store was having a clearance sale and go into the store on their way to the job interview. She found a green scarf and she tried to buy it. The price was 120 dollars!! It is too expensive for me. She paid for 100 dollars by cash and she tried to pay for 20 dollars by her credit cards, but all of her cards could not use. So she went to the store near there and she said that her grandmother was sick, so she wanted to buy a scarf. Then, a man lent her for 20 dollars. I thought that he is very good man! She went to the job interview after she bought it, the company of fashion magazine stopped the recruitment. So she was supposed to have the company of economy magazine’s interview. But the interviewer was the man who lend her 20 dollars. he name was Luke. What a freakish coincidence! She threw out the scarf in a hurry. It was so funny. Then a woman took the scarf and said, “You dropped.” So she got caught in a lie. The excuse she said was very funny too. She said that she took it for her grandmother, but she died! In 25 minutes…But She did not know about economy at all of course, but she had to write an article. So she wrote an article seeing the Internet and it was received well because her articles described well how consumer would feel. Then columns became a sleeper hit. She wrote the column utilize information acquired from shopping. Her name in the column was "Green scarf”. One day, she received a telephone call in her office from repo man named smith. But she tried to hide the repo man. She did not want know about her debt. She changed ring alert from smith into “don’t answer! It is smith”. It was very funny. Her friend had her take part in a counseling for compulsive shopper. One day, she was supposed to appear in the TV show. But smith was in audience and he blew about her debt. And lurk left her too. She changed her mind. And she held a sale to sell her clothes, bags and shoes as Green scarf. How to the sell was auction. That scarf was sold to a girl too. After that, she was not compulsive shopper. When she was walking the downtown, she did not fascinate by a nice shop. And she and lurk got back together. They were in love with each other. And he had the green scarf! Because a girl who bought it was his staff. That was wholly unexpected. It was very interesting movie. I want to buy a lot of clothes, shoes and bags too, but I do not want be compulsive shopper like her. But I think that shopping is so enjoy and makes me happy as same as her. But I thought that shopping addiction was terrible. Because she thought that her cards were stolen by someone, someone used my cards when she looked at her credit-card statement. She could not accept reality. That's a scary thought. But she was positive person so I like her. She is a lovable person. I like the purple dress she was wearing when she appeared in TV show. It was so cute.
A fashion stylist of the movie is Patricia Field. She is one of the very popular stylists. She set out the costume of the movie such us the Sex and the city and the Devil wears Prada. I have watched there movies and I like them very much! There were a lot of luxo brand such us Miumiu, christian dior, Balenciaga, Prada and so on. I was surprised to hear that theme of Rebecca’s character is “style of Harajuku, Japan”. And she bought a lot of items in Japan. Bouts she was wearing in the opening scene bought in 109 in shibuya. I was very surprised. And I was glad to hear that. I did not know that the movie was got from the original. So I want to read the original book. The movie is one of my favorite movies. I like this movie very much. I will recommend a lot of people. Thank you for your reading. (936words)

Movie Review #3

I watched a movie called “Cars”. It was first time for me to watch it. It is a Disney movie. I like Disney movies but I had never watched it. Any humans come into the story. Everyone is a car. At first, I felt something wrong with the cars talking, but I did not feel uneasy at all in the middle of this story.
The main character is Lightning McQueen who is a genius racer. He was enormously popular as a racer. But he was a selfish and a confident man, so he did not have friends. One day, he participated in a race named “Dinaco 400”, but McQueen and other two cars reached the winning goal at the same instant. So they were going to bring to an end in California. But he wandered into a county town called “Radiator springs” during movement to California. He broke the road of the town, and he was ordered to repair the road. He was going to leave the town as soon as possible, but he had changed while he came in contact with residents of this town. He met the true friendship.
There was the cooperation of the residents of the town, Radiator springs, too, and he was going to win the championship at the race. I was impressed by the last race very much. King was shoved away in a last round, and he was not able to move. McQueen stopped just before the finish line, and he came back to King. He pushed him and they crossed the finish line together. McQueen who only thought of win until now abandoned a victory and helped his friend. I was impressed very much. I thought there is the thing that is more important than winning. McQueen noticed that there are really important things than become NO.1! It is very wonderful. It was good that I watched this movie. I want to recommend it to everyone. (331words)

The main character is Daniel and he is a very funny parson. He had a family. His wife’s name is Miranda, who is a career woman. They have three children named Lydia, Chris, and Natalie. Daniel was a voice actor but he quit. One day, they decided to divorce because Daniel was like a child. So he was not able to see his children. He was able to see them for only a limited time.

He knew that Miranda was looking for a housekeeper. So he disguised himself an old woman named Mrs. Doubtfire and he became a housekeeper in Miranda’s house because he wanted to be with his children. He loved his children very very much.

From when he became the housekeeper Mrs. Doubtfire, he changed. For example, He learned to cook and learned to tell their children to do their homework. And the family liked Mrs. Doubtfire very much.

Helene, who is his wife, can transform herself, and Violet, who is their daughter, can be transparent and can make a shield. Dash is their son and he can run very very fast. He can run even on water. But they hid their power, and they tried to live common life.

One day, Mr. Incredible and his family fought against enemies and used their power to help Bob. Bob and his family fought against a bad person named Syndrome to protect people.

Book Review #2

I read a book named "Corduroy Writes a Letter". The story of this book was very interesting. Lisa, the owner of the corduroy, tried to a letter to the Bakery owner and the Movie theater owner but she couldn't because she thought she is a little girl so they will not read her letter. In place of her, the corduroy wrote a letter to them kept a secret from her. Finally, she could write a letter because the corduroy's action has encouraged her. I thought the corduroy was very cute.

Book Review #1

I read a book named "The Teeny-Tiny Woman" today. It was easy for me to read this book.
There are a lot of words called " The Teeny- Tiny" in this book many times.
When I looked up a word "Teeny-tiny" in the dictionary, it means Teenybopper or Tiny. All of thing around the Teeny-Tiny woman is very small. I thought this book is very cute story because everything is small, for example, house, a walk, her supper too!(81words)
