Exercise 5

Complete the gaps with the cinema-related words that fit. The first and last letters of each word have been given to you.

The b

r I went to see last week was quite cool. The c
s
were really colourful, and the a
e
at the cinema was silent all through the film. The s
g
was in the US in the 1990s, and the c
s
said it was the best thing ever done. I liked the s
s
with a lot of slow m
n
the best because I could see all the g
s
in detail. I bet the actors had been r
g
those scenes forever! I won’t even talk about the s
k,
which was great because they had used the best musicians for it. All in all, it was a super cinema experience!
