A hole opens in the ground and Calvin falls through it. He lands in the past, in the time of King Arthur. Calvin meets King Arthur and Merlin, the wizard.

Calvin is trained to be a knight and he becomes more confident. Calvin helps King Arthur to beat his enemy, Lord Belasco, and then Merlin sends Calvin back to the future. Calvin finds himself back in the baseball game, but this time he wins the game. The special effects in A Kid in King Arthur's Court are very good.

Read the film review, and decide whether the statements are true (T), or false (F), and tick the correct box. Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol? I did and I really like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim Burton’s version of the film at the cinema. This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls downa rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing characters on her adventures. There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. He has acted in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star! Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story. Charlie, Manchester, UK True False 1. Wonderland was directed by Lewis Carol. 2. The film is both an adventure story and a love story. 3. Alice is still in her childhood. 4. Alice has never been to Wonderland before. 5. She meets a lot of amazing people in Wonderland. 6. The special effects in the films are good. 7. The Red Queen is very friendly. 8. The Mad Hatter is played by Johnny Depp 9. Johnny Depp played his first role in this film. 10. The writer of the report thinks that the film is a good film for teenagers. XIV. Read the passage, and then answer the questions. My favourite actors I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig and Halle Berry. Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction, and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino Royale.I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond. Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman,but her other films are excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character Storm, who has the ability to change the weather. 27
