I hope you have all enjoyed the course.

Everyone tried their best in the tests. You can collect your test results next Friday or after.

Your movies were all FABULOUS!!!.

Congratulations to ‘From Indonesia With Love’ on the award for most original story. It was really funny when James Bond told the girl she should get a job instead of trying to get him. It was unusual that James Bond was driving an old Toyota that was out of rego.

Congratulations to ‘Casino Royale’ for the best costumes. The basket of fruit on the head of ‘M’ must have been heavy, but it looked great! The cat dressed in a bikini was very original.

Congratulations to ‘Love and Leave Her’ for the funniest film. It was good to see James Bond wearing daggy clothes instead of a suit. It was also funny when he wore the dress that was undone.

What did you think about making the movie?

Let’s keep in touch on the blog. I’ve enjoyed teaching you, we’ve had great fun. Don’t forget our dinner out on July 23rd at the Orient Hotel in The Rocks.

Stay in touch and see you soon!
