Prodan had a rough day ahead of him. A long lecture over each movie that had a specific category and he chose his favorites. Comedy, Drama, Horror, Musical, and Action. All five categories were not that bad, but finding the perfect movie for each one and the actresses and actors in it was a tough thing to do after all. Prodan never minded the stars, but he always enjoyed the plot. He had a list of the movies in front of him, as well as the actors. The students filed in, and Prodan called their attention immediately to get the lesson underway. "Welcome! Now, we are going to learn about different famous muggle movies. I have an example from each category, so listen up! I'll give out the stars as well."

"For comedy, I have chosen a movie called Dumb and Dumber. It was made in 1994, and it was a splendid movie of its time. Basically, it is about these two friends who don't have much intelligence at all. Lloyd and Harry are their names. Lloyd is starred by Jim Carrey, and Harry is starred by Jeff Daniels. The plot is rather simple, the villain is a rich man who kidnaps a man and wants him for money. The two best friends ultimately spend that money, and calls attention to the authorities and gets the villain arrested. There is much more to the movie than just that, but I am limited on time."

"An excellent example for a drama film is the ever famous Titanic, based on a true event. Like some dramas, this is also a romance film twisted in the tragedy. It is based on a couple who love each other, and try to survive the sinking of Titanic. Rose DeWitt Bukater is starred by Kate Winslet and her lover Jack Dawson is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. Rose's fiance was the villain of the movie, and he gives her a priceless necklace, and he is a snobbish first-class man. He survives the ordeal after he pretends to have a child in order to escape the sinking ship. Rose and Jack try their best to survive the whole tragedy, and stay together as well. However, some movies don't have a happy ending, for Titanic did not."

"One of my favorite horror movies was made before I was born, but it was made in 1978. John Carpenter's Halloween. It is an old movie, and what makes it scary is mainly the theme music, and how the serial killer Michael Myers walks. Michael wears a white mask and a black mechanical suite and does not speak. He first kills his older sister after um, 'giving in to temptation' and was sent to an insane asylum. He busted out, and started stalking a girl named Laurie Strodem who is starred by Jamie Lee Curtis. Michael Myers kills her best friends, and goes after her. The man who was his doctor named Dr. Loomis who is starred by Donald Pleasence shoots him six times, makes Michael fall off of a balcony. He looks over to see Michael gone. The movie lacks blood and gore as more modern films do, but Halloween is what others say is the starting of the slasher films, those horror movies who have serial killers in them."

"For a musical, I have here is Phantom of the Opera. It is a long musical based on a book. The plot is based on an epic love triangle, with Christine loving the Phantom, and a childhood sweetheart named Raoul. The Phantom has a scarred face and wears a bit of a white mask on his face. The Phantom loves Christine, and is very possessive, so he attempts to kill Raoul if she does not choose the Phantom. However, after a bit, he has a change of heart, and lets them go. The film fast forwards to the future, and it shows Raoul at a cemetery at Christine's tomb, where the Phantom left his trademark sign. A black rose with a red ribbon. The Phantom is starred by Gerard Butler, Christine is starred by Emmy Rossum, and Raoul is starred by Patrick Wilson."

"Finally, for an action movie, I have thought of Twister. It was made in 1996 starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt for storm chasers with a data-gathering device to be used in the funnel of a tornado. They are competing with a better funded team of storm chasers as well. This movie is full of action, from tornadoes ripping houses apart to flying cars to deadly truck explosions and finally to flying cattle. This movie, well, it is rather unrealistic with the tornadoes because you cannot get that close to one without being sucked up into the funnel, but it is an interesting movie anyway."

Prodan sighed and he wrapped up the lesson. "For your homework, I want you to think of the perfect movie, the perfect plot, and with your favorite actors and actresses. Feel free to mix together genres and just make it interesting! You are free to leave! This is due next week, class!" Prodan sighed and he took a drink of water. Wow, that lesson really had him talking.


Homework: RP the lesson, and do the homework assigned. Remember, nothing too big.
