My Media Summer!


The t.v programme that I like best has to be "the simpsons" this is because the Simpsons is an original, satirical American sitcom, which is shown all over the world and appeals to a wide range of audiences with its unique, yet basic form of humour.

My favourite film has to be "Troy"
I enjoy films which are known as "epics" these films are more or less war films.
I enjoyed this movie because I like movies with a lot of violence, like some movies are just violence and have no storyline, this film actually has a brilliant storyline. Two emerging nations begin to clash after Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. This is a classic story which has been made to film and I feel that it is just brilliant!
