4. Yellow River Fisherman
Read the reviews. Circle the things the reviewers like, and underline the things the reviews don’t like.
Yellow River Fisherman
This is Hong Tao’s latest movie. I like Hong Tao.
He’s made some great movies over the years.
Unfortunately, this is his worst movie. If you’re looking
for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV.
Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it’s really
boring. It does have a few good features, though.
I thought the fisherman’s wife was really funny.

5. Amy Kim, Photography
Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her best loved photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don’t interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world class photographer. Whatever you do, don’t miss this exhibition.

6. Wild and Windy
Over the years, we’ve seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren’t very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy even on a Monday morning!
