Isn't that the frlm starring

it's a very

Chris:
Yes,
it is. Listen to what

the TV
guide.
'Michael
Keaton
stars in
this adventure film, difected
by Tim
Burton. The film
is
set
in an imaginary
city in America
where Batnan,
the action hero,
fights the
evil villains
Penguin and Cat
Woman.
The acting

liant, especially
Michelle

plays
Cat Woman.
The

a little

I might watch
it myself tonight.
A. Read anotherftlm
review.
In
my opinion,
the best
frlm of the last
ten
years
was
La Confidential,
from
1997. It's
a thriller
and it stars
Russel Crove,
-Guy
Pearce,
Kim Basinger
and
Kevin Spacey.
The
film is set
in Los Angeles
in the
1950s, and it's
about
problems
in
the
police

It's
very exciting
and the acting
is excel-

A
Visit
to the Theatre
Mr Ford: Both my wife and I are keen on theatre. We
go
to the theatre
when-
ever we can. But before we decide to buy tickets, we like to know something
about the
play.
When
a new
play
opeirs,
we usually read the review in
our
newspaper to find out what the critic thinks.
Last week a ngw comedy opened at the Hippodrome. The newspaper report
said it was very amusing, so we decided to
go
on Saturdaynight.
My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wearand we left our
house a little
late,
so we
came to the theatre five minutes before the show be-
gan.
We
presented
our
tickets to the usherette and she took us to our seats
which were
in the fifth row in the stalls.
The house was
packed,
but
we had booked our tickets in advance, so we
had
good
seats
fiom which we could see every
part
of the stage.
Both
my
wife
and I enjoyed the
performance.
The cast was
good,
the charac-
ters
seemed
quite
real,
the
scenery was beautiful.
At
the end of
each act we
applauded enthusiastically
to the actors.
However my wife was a bit disap-
pointed
because
her favourite actress wasn't
in the
cast.
But we both agreed
that the
review in the newspaper
had been right. It was a very entertaining
comedy.
It was
really
worth
seeing.
There were
two
intqrvals during which I went to
the lobby and smoked. The
final curtain
fell at about eleven o'clock.
After
the
play
was over; we
met some.friends we
hadn't seen for a long time.
They wanted to
go
to
a night club. It had been
many
years
since
my
wife
and I
went dancing but
I frnally agreed.
By the time we
got
home,
it was about two
o'clock
in the moming.
I never stay out so late and
I
was
extremely tired.
3t2
When I v/.ls
younger,
I hadn't enough.money to
go
out for an
evening
like
that. Now
I
can afford it but I haven't
got
the energy to stay up so late.
