------------------A blockbuster hit!-----------------------
types of films
blockbuster box office hit
cult film
straight DVD (not show in cinema)
classic
independent film
pretentious
flop
---------------grammar focus----------------------------
I thought the acting was poor.
The story line was lacking any exciting twists.
----------------language point---------------------------
A blockbuster  is a type of aerial bomb that if it explodes
destroys a large area.
In USA if we say a movie is a blockbuster then we mean the movie
 was a  huge hit or success.
-----------------------------------------------------------
lower budget film.
I feel the acting is better as the stars are still pretty down to the earth.
--------culture point: movie reviews
the people who write reviews take everything into consideration
and if the movie has famous stars who perform weakly then
the review will generally slate them.
Also ,if the movie has a huge budget for creating the film and the final product
is poor then again, the reviewers will be pretty harsh in their words.

It is very difficult for movies in the west world to get good reviews unless they
are absolutely out of this world.

    high strung
    disgusted

------------------------------grammar focus------------------------------
 to "feel under the weather" is to feel sick or emotionally depressed.
if you are not too close to someone and they ask you what's wrong, you
could tell them you are "feel under the weather", you didn't need to go into details.

--------------culture point---------------------
Happy pills
some people say that America is a prozac Nation.
Prozac is commonly called "the happy pill",because it helps
get rid of depression.
      Every year  different brands of "happy pills" earn 5.5billion.
some people complain that  it's not rignt for doctor to give everyone happy pills.
There are problems that cannot be ignored or hidden.
