Students' Review of the Movie FACE/OFF

2008-07-24T11:07:00.002+08:00

Review of Face Off

If you have a chance to "change your face to someone", Are you willing to do it?Almost all people aren't satisfied with their face so if they could have a chance to do that, maybe they would do it.As we know about technology, that is surely impossible. But, according to the movie "Face off" that is possible. After watching that movie, I'm really impressed and I think about the danger of technology.In particular, I'm very impressed with the scene when Sean and Castor fight between the mirror. I think that scene shows that if they want to kill each other, they have to shoot "mirror". The mirror shows not me, "Enemy". That means I have to shoot to my face because I have to kill enemy. That scene is really ironic and interesting to me.I'm also thinking about danger of technology. As time goes by, technology is getting develop, so many things become comfortable and better compare with before. Even though many things getting better, like as that movie shows, that have also many disadvantages. Especially we misuse technology to bad things, that menas more develop technology, easier to commit criminal. I think we have to consider about danger of technology.

Face Off

In this movie, there are two main characters.One is the boss of a gang whose name is Castor and the other is Sean a member of the FBI.They changed their faces so that they could get some very important information from the gang member.But Sean failed because Castor noticed their mission and killed all the people who know their mission.So Sean was trapped in jail because no one knows they changed their faces.Somehow he could escape from the jail.And he tried to kill Castor but it was really difficult because his face is still Castor.Later he convinced his wife and succeeded to kill Castor and he could get his face back.Fine.

FACE/OFF

I was excited when I watched this movie because it came to climaxes several times.It didn't end when I felt it was almost finished.But, I couldn't agree with the scene that Castor Troy recovered from a coma in the hospital.First, the ECG just before he revived was VT (ventricular tachycardia). It means that he almost died.Second, we never cut the human skin with electric cautery but we usually do it with a knife because a scar of a burn remains on the coaptation zone and causes keloid.I enjoyed the first half because I couldn't guess what happened next but the latter half is boring. Most of the scenes included actions. They shot each other again and again and the buildings and boats were destroyed. In my case I like to watch the scenes having some mystery in it.

Critique of "FACE OFF"

I have watched this movie many times . but everytime I watch it, I feel excited and nervous.This movie was made with incredible idea, especially when their faces were changed with each other, we were all shocked.Archer showed his high passion for his work through his decision to have that surgery with big risk.His wife even didn't recongnize him. But in many troubles, he tried to protect his family and arrest Troy.This movie had a happy ending. In addition, at the end of the movie, he kept his word with Troy's wife that she wanted his son to grow up in the way that's different with the life style of his parents.At this part, everbody might be moved by this scene when they decided to take care of the enemy's son.If I see it in negative way, it is too bloody and violent.

After watching "FACE OFF"

Do you know the two guys who switched faces in the 1997 hit film titled " Face Off"? When I met this title, I thought it's a story about plastic surgery. But this movie is a highly science fiction film.This is the first time that I has watched about moving face. So I'm curious. But the movie started, I felt it's cruel as well as dirty. As time goes by, I knew it has interesting and moving story. At the movie's climax, I felt family's love and importance of personality.If you have free time, you try to watch this movie. I recommend it.

After Watching Face Off...

It's my first time to watch Face off, and I've heard about Face off before. That time, I was not interested in watching the movie. I think I shoud have watched that time, because it was very interesting and exciting.Frankly speaking, when I watched the movie first, I was disappointed about Face off. I thought it's such an old-fashioned movie. But as the movie continued, the more interested I became.It tells us about the winning of the right, and makes us exciting. But there are some mistakes and ridiculous things.The first of all, when Castor shot Sean, why Castor killed him perfectly?The second of all, when Castor leave an area by airplane, why there was a female FBI member in The airplane? and why they don't arrest them before the airplane started to go? after that, they lost a expensive plane.The third of all, when Sean and Castor fought each other in the end of the movie, I don't understand why Sean wait Castor. I think he could shoot him, when Castor was in the church.Anyway, without these things, I think this movie is made well.

Face Off

Is it possible? Well...Actually this movie is creepy.But John Travolta and Nicolas Cage are my favorite actors. Their actings are awesome.I heard that this movie was made about 10 years ago. But it isn't old-fashioned.If my face was also changed to another face and another life, I would be nervous too.Even if it is possible I don't want to chose that situation.Many women have plastic surgery but it is very dangerous.Anyway the plastic surgery is terrible.

POWER SHOW June 2008

2008-06-27T09:03:00.005+08:00

Hello readers everywhere! Here's a video of the POWERSIM students for the month of June 2008.

They did a talk show hosted by Anne and Vicky. It known as the POWER SHOW.

They had a guest, a boy band,which made a shocking revelation to the disappointment of a hysterical fan...You can also hear the big NEWS about Osama Bin SHOOT being captured and was brought to New York for his trial. He has a 5usd reward for his capture. Yes! That is right! Only 5 U.S. dollars and the rest of the group has 10 U.S. dollars reward for their arrest. They are still at large and running away from the law. They are hunted all over the world and still considered dangerous. Watch out!^.^

Anyway, congratulations to all of you studying POWERSIM. You did great and always do even greater things.

Jason : TVsitcom Friends

2008-06-27T08:54:00.011+08:00

I'd like to tell you about the TV program, "Friends." Friends is a sitcom about a group of friends. It is not a serious program so when I got stressed, I watch it in order to relieve my stress. My favourite actor is Joey because he is really funny sometimes and I think he has no brain. He speaks to them without thinking.

Also, the TV sitcom was broadcasted in Korea but it is similar to Friends sitcom. Sometimes I was bored because it has the same situation and the same story. I've watched Friends again since last year to improve my English skills. First, I watch it without subtitles. I tried to understand the story but it was extremely difficult at first and then I watch it again with subtitles. When I can't listen to their conversation clearly or I don't understand, I watch it again to understand.

I think the sitcom Friends is proper for studying English because through it I can learn about American traditions, thought and language which is very useful for learning English. Therefore, if people who want to study English, I'll recommend it.

"Starcraft" league program. -Astin

2008-06-27T08:53:00.007+08:00

When i was in Korea, i usually watch starcraft league programme. Probably almost all Korean guys know about Starcraft. There are more than three starcraft league program in Korea. The way of progress is tournament. Usually it takes three months. Also every once a year starcraft is held in other country. Many starcraft players compete for the prize. Starcraft league in Korea is usually divided in three seasons. There's spring season, summer season and winter season. And there are eight teams only for starcraft. Many large companies in Korea make their own team for starcraft. And They invest a lot of money in their own team every year. Through this fact, we can guess about the magnitude of game industry. As long as the game league program exists, Starcraft league continues.

Hi~ I'm Isnear.

2008-06-27T08:49:00.003+08:00

My favorite TV program genre is soap opera. I saw 'Heroes', 'Prison break'. 'Desperate houeswives', etc... These are not only interesting but also useful to learn English. How cool!
you can kill two birds with one stone. also we can experience the U.S.A culture indirectly by watching TV program.

But many students want to see Korean subtitle when they watch soap oprea. I'd recommend no subtitle. Although it's English subtitle. If you focus on subtitle, It's reading practice, not listening any more. and try to watch soap opera everyday. Have fun!!!

My favorite TV genre is comedy. Actually, when I watch TV, I don't think of anything except watching news. I want to take a rest while I'm watching TV. Therefore, I like watching comedy programs. It gives me fun especially when I'm tired. I don't need to concentrate on watching TV, but I can enjoy it. In these programs, they use simple English words, so if you are not good at English, you can understand those easily and accurately. Let's try watching comedy programs together!!

Finally captured!

OSAMA BIN SHOOT

This is a news flash.
Osama Bin Shoot, leader of the P.S.I.M terrorists who was the main culprit of 911terrorist attack was arrested 30minutes ago here in Cebu, Philippines.
After 2001, he who has disappeared has taught English to Korean students for 7years. According to His neighbors and co-workers’ interview, they have never known that he is Osama Bin Shoot because he has lived with a shaven head for many years.
When the police arrived at the scene, he was watching an adult video with his students.
Osama Bin Shoot will have a physical checkup today here in Cebu, subsequently, he will be traveled to New York United States of America, under tight police escort. One of the law experts said that Osama Bin Shoot will be sentenced to penal servitude for life.
That’s all, this is Jimmy Nam reporting for POWER SIM in Cebu.

Sex & The City

2008-06-27T08:41:00.007+08:00

"Sex & The City"

There are four women in New York - They are intimate friends.
They talk about their lives and share their private lives.

Karry is a columnist about men, women and sex.
She leads the story and she narrates to deliver their emotion more effectively to viewers.
She is spiritually uplifting, loves her job, observes other people's life & feeling.
She is a lovely woman but she is scared of getting married.
Sometimes she writes column about " the right to buy shoes" - She want to show what's the difference between woman and man. And her conclusion is reasonable- We need to understand each other.
We are absolutely different species with different way of thinking.

Miranda is a lawyer & single mom.
Samantha is addicted to sex and Charlotte thinks that family and baby are the most important value in the world.

There are various stories there, you can't feel any boredom there.
And it has a lot of useful expressions so it's also good to study English.

Thank you.

Our Drama, Our Life.

2008-06-27T08:35:00.006+08:00

'Desperate Wives' is the one of popular series' in America. By thinking about the reason, we can get the function of T.V programs as a media. Sometimes people think being a housewife is the easiest job in the world,
But in that drama, in terms of not only physically but mentally, do they have happy lives? I think all of them have troubles. Even one of the wives, who committed suicide, was not able to notice what the problem is, and there is no visible trouble in her life. They didn't realize they have something wrong in their lives. They are still busy managing the house chores. But it gives us something to think about. What is the hidden matter in our life? I'm not talking about feminism term. In that drama, they might want to talk about that. But in general, I want to say that T.V programs involve the social problem we have to reconsider. Indirectly and directly, T.V programs have meaningful elements, wheather it is valuable or not. What I mean is, it affects the audience by gathering empathy by showing the social problems in our real life. T.V programs can be continued, especailly the drama series. In conclusion, T.V programs reflect our lives that have so many troubles. Sometimes it gives us advices and empathies. Somehow our life is also a kind of drama, and we are the actors who are looking for the solution.

Happy PSIM ^^

Mr. Shoot! ( You promised that you will teach me how to conquer english in two weeks!!)
Ms. Fritzie! (I miss your lovely smile and your consideration)
Mr. Lars! (I wanna listen to your indication about grammar errors..."basically wrong")

It was a confusing problem whether to attend Power.sim or not.
But It was really nice selection beyond my expectation.

They gave me a lot of things which could be "Music Video, Teamwork, Exprience, even award"
I can't explain and express my thinking using words...
Just I am gonna remember this sentense " Wherever we are, we are still good team"

Someone gives us confidence and interesting
Someone gives us emotion and appreciation.
Someone gives us accuracy and precision.

Ah! I will be back in a jiffy.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest course in the Cebu.

I never graduated from the course. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a Power SIM graduation.

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about appreciation.
I had really great time, though it was shorter for one week, thanks to you guys!!

My second story is about a tip for what you have to do after this course.
Stick with Ms.Fritzie, Mr. Shoot and Mr.Lars as much as possible, even though you graduated from the class or school.

My third story is life.
Life is a touch and go. However surely I wont just touch and go in an instant. I wont never forget you even when life is a touch and go (as long as you keep in touch...)

I wish that for you

Stay Hungry. Return my Investment ASAP.

Thank you all very much.

MY REVIEW FOR SERENDIPITY

2008-05-29T12:07:00.002+08:00

Serendipity - the luck some people have in finding or creating interesting or valuable things 'BY CHANCE',
'By chance'... it's the most important word in this movie.
It is also the name of the restaurent that the hero and heroine have a meal in. This movie is the highest authority of a chance.

A guy and a woman meet in a department store. they choose the same pair of gloves. they spend a few hours on dating. Obiously, she is interested in the guy but suddenly the girl ask for strange suggestion. Because, she belives in destiny and they can't meet each other after that time. For almost 10 years. And they meet the guy's wedding day!!

This story is absolutely predictable. How she finds the bill and how he finds the book are not matter. 'when' is the matter. So it was little boring to me. that's all.
I was just thinking about pitiful their feeance and feeancee during the movie.

About Serendipity... by Lydia

2008-05-29T11:38:00.003+08:00

Serendipity..It means a fortune happening.
They want to show us that serendipity in this movie is the meeting of Sara and Jonathan in the department store to buy gift for their fiance. They want to say, the meeting itself is serendipity. But, it's an bad incident. They have to leave their fiance they've been loving for a long time and throw out promise with their fiance.
I mean Sara and Jonathan were completely happy as preparing their wedding before this incident. Suddenly everythings changed through the meeting just once.
Sara believes that fate decide their future and she wants him to believe the fate.
They bet everything for love and destiny.
It seems that love, no, I don't want to say as love.. just feel like being love, and destiny are everything of them.
They exaggerates 'destiny' and overplay it.
So, it seems that it is not romantic because it never be able to occur on real life.

by Lydia...

Do you believe in destiny?

2008-05-29T11:30:00.003+08:00

Is it possible that an unbelievable love story happens to you?
Don't put it side as it's a fake or just a movie.
Imagine you meet your ideal man in a supermarket or bus stop, it may give you small happness and you might smile for a moment.
This movie is like a chocolate. We don't eat a chocolate everyday but you really need a sweet thing to survive in hard times.
Just try and feel it as it is without criticizing.

Suddenly, you could feel a hollow feeling

2008-05-29T11:25:00.006+08:00

A reviewer : Simpson

This sort of movie often gives us happiness or satisfaction using events such as incredible happening.

Sare insists that fate decide their future, so she writes her name and phone number in a novel, instructing Jonathan that she will sell the book, and writes his information on the paper bill deliberately as if destiny explains all of things.

But, the important thing is, they already met in 'Serendipity store' accidentally.
Who meets in there? And who concedes to a stranger?They're talking to each other like close friends to an old man.

Unfortunately.
Don't forget, This kind of movie gives us even a hollow feeling.

We can guess all of the story

2008-05-29T11:22:00.007+08:00

There are many interesting characters in the movie including not only two main characters but also many supporting actors and actresses. I think Sara’s character is the most interesting one and Sara arise sympathy from me. Sara is a girl who believes in fate, destiny, and sign, and her favorite word is “Serendipity” which means the faculty of making valuable discoveries by accident. . In addition, one of the best supporting actors is Jonathan’s best friend and his best man in his wedding. He is so sincere to Jonathan and help Jonathan to find Sara even he thinks that Jonathan is obsessed by some crazy woman.

Anyway when we were watching this movie, we could guess all of the story. It was an obvious story. And they want to define serendipity that was accidental fortune. but I think It is their's own destiny. It was a common story, but supporting acters had acted a conspicuous part in this movie. and they show us impossible happening. but through this part, we can dream of serendipity our own life. So, I could feel funny and interesting.

After watching Serendipity...

2008-05-29T11:22:00.005+08:00

It was a really romantic movie.

BUT happening in the movie never happenes in "real".

Unfortunately some girl are influenced by media.
And they believe that they can be a person like main actor.

That's why I hate this kind of movie.
It annoys me.....Terrible....

My suggestion to men....Never watch this kind of movie with your Girl!!!

-Gon-

If you want to refresh your mind....

2008-05-29T11:20:00.005+08:00

SERENDIPITY(2001)

reviewed by Anne, no more grumpy girl.

The movie "Serendipity" is set in Big Apple, and the characters met

coincidentely. In New york, which is huge city, to meet and fall in love is somehow ordinary, but they show us their romance like fairy tale.

And this movie can make us believe in fate AGIAN, when we became an adult.

This is the most attractive point in this movie.

If you are jaded with your life, I recommend "Serendipity".

Now , time to find your love of destiny. Where is your lover? Maybe

already he or she passed by you just now, with red string of fate.

Hello Guys

This is my firt time to post.

I would like to introduce my favorite lyric.

<>
(Through Power SIM class)

The reason why I like this phrase is....

I have been out of Japan (USA and China) last 6years.
I met good friends there. However, as you know, it is not so easy to meet with them so often, considering location and timezone, even though the IT technology is improved.

I want to send this phrase to all of you so that wherever we are, we can be good friends, as long as we see same stars. Even though we could not meet so often, we can be good team.

Again, as long as we see same stars, it reminds you / me of me / you.

We could be good team forever...

Thank you.

What I think about celebrity endorsements

2008-04-17T09:18:00.002+08:00

There are two effect such as positive effect and negative effect.

1. Positive effect
1) We can trust some products because the celebrities guarantee their quality.
2) We know the latest trends through celebrity's ads', we can be fashionable.

2. Negative effect
1) Product's price is higher as the celebrity's popularity is more famous.
2) Celebrity's ads' promote that beauty is the most important thing in everything.

Hi~ I'm Patrick.
Nice to meet you. ^-^
I hope our skill in speaking English will improve.
Let's do our best.
Have a nice day~^^

Why am I writing now?

2008-02-14T08:53:00.004+08:00

Anyway, I hope it will help my English.
Perhaps, sometimes. I'll be tired of English. At that time, I might write in Japanese.
It'll be with the reason that I want to teach Japanese language.

happy valentine!!

POWERSIM class (January 2008)

from left to right: Shoot,Mia,Leno,Clare,Ms.Fritzie,Lucy,Iris and Mario
Photo was taken at Mountain View during the video shoot of the students' music video.

Hello everyone! The music video is done and our thanks to our video editor, Marc. He did a great job and everyone else did their best. I can safely say that this group is the best one that i have worked with. I hope that after this class you will still continue improving and enhance what you have learned. I know that you can go places. Believe in yourselves for I believe in you. All of you have indomitable spirits. Always be the best!

>>----//----->

Presentations...and then some

2008-01-15T09:20:00.000+08:00

I have seen your presentations and i say it was good! There's still some room of improvements though but don't let it discourage you because it will make you better.

Practise a lot while you are still in the classroom for when you will be in the real world, you will only have a fraction of a space or you even can't afford to make mistakes.

I'm looking forward for your next presentation and even more excited to see yourmusic video soon.

Have a great time!

Hello. How are you?
Don't you feel gloomy because of the rainy season?
Then, try POWERSIM! We do lots of things which we've never tried.
Sounds fun?? haha...
If you are interested in improving your speaking and enjoying something new at the same time, POWERSIM will be just good for you.!!
Thank you.!!
Have a wonderful day.^^

Hello Everyone!

2008-01-15T08:49:00.000+08:00

Hello
Nice to meet you.
I`m fine thank you and you??

Good morning, everyone !

2008-01-15T08:47:00.000+08:00

Franlky speaking, this morning is somewhat blue because the weather is not good but anyway good morning everyone!

I'm getting totally new experiences in the Philippines and I'm so glad to be with everyone. I wish you feel the same as me.

Have a nice day!!

Hi everyone I'm glad to join the PowerSim team.

2008-01-13T19:00:00.000+08:00

Hi PowerSim students!
This is Teacher Philip.I'm so glad to have the opportunity to help teach this class along with Teacher Shoot and Teacher Fritzy. It's really interesting and gives me a chance to use the media teaching tools of PowerSim. The progress of PowerSim students is faster than normal because they are given greater challenges. When you graduate from this course you WILL be more fluent in English and have greater confidence to speak in public. Good luck to all of you and if you need my help just ask me! My room number is BG-03 in the 1:8 classroom area.

2008-01-07T08:15:00.000+08:00

Being Powersim member is an exciting event for me.
I'm pleased to be with my classmates and all teachers.. Ms.Fritzie, Shoot, Mr.Lars and Paul who had been our teacher for a few days.

The atmosphere and feeling seem good and I think my English skill will certainly improve in this class.

Many presentations and homework can make us nervous or tired but we know that it's for our English fluency, so I'm satisfied.

I have to leave CEBU coming Tuesday and this is the last week to stay in CPILS. I will never forget the life in CPILS. It was very interesting, enjoyable and meaningful.

I think I can come here once again. I do not know when it will be....

Enjoy yourlife in CPILS.

I'm a gay,

2007-08-16T11:50:00.001+08:00

I' ve attended this class for 4 weeks already, it's time to seperate, i feel blue,
frankly, it' s very hard for me to attend the Powersim class, my level is the lowest among us,
therefore, i could a lot of things from others who have a higher level than mine, i think it' s good for me, they are very nice people, i would like to say 'thank you so much', i never forget them
as long as i live, also thanks, teachers~~i think you guys are really good teacher, and
in class this class, i had to present once a week, it was very difficult for me, but it was very
helpful to improve my English, anyway thank you everybady~~~~~~

it was nice time for me.

2007-08-16T11:50:00.000+08:00

thanks you everybody~.

this is really special experience for me.

even if the time is very short, i learn many things in this class.

thank you~!

I am Kris

2007-08-16T11:46:00.001+08:00

I have had very vaulable time in this class.
I regreted that I didn't do my best during the this class.
For a long time, I've been sick with cold.
It maked me frustrated and I couldn't concentrate on my study.
Though it can be a good excuse, I realized that health is the most important thing.
Without good health condition, we can't do anything.
Anyway, I hope that you keep your health good.
Take care all the time.
I still have 7 weeks left with Iven. I know kind of how to do presentaion and what is my defect for presentaion. I'd like to say powersim teachers "Thanks you teacher I know you've did your best all the time. Take it up.

our masterpiece~

2007-08-16T11:46:00.000+08:00

today,
i experienced special things through powersim class.
though i didn't prepare perfectly i could perform a sitcom as an actress in front of my classmates and teachers. actually, it is very difficult for me to perform in front of audience because it needs a lot of confidence. whenver i speak in english, my confidence is gone.
however, during powersim class, i can improve my confidence.
thank you for giving this good chance to me

i'm leaving here ~~

2007-08-16T10:04:00.000+08:00
