Hieronder wordt een aantal films besproken. Welke film word je niet aangeraden, volgens de recensies? A The Gift B The Grinch C Final Fantasy D Blow Dry T HE G IFT What's the deal? When heiress Jessica King (Katie Holmes) disappears, her family turn to psychic Annie (Cate Blanchett), whose visions lead them to the truth, but also land her in deep trouble. Suddenly, her psychic gift becomes her only hope of survival. Is it any good? The cast, including Keanu Reeves, is superb. With the near-gothic settings of America's Deep South, this movie makes for gripping viewing. T HE G RINCH What's the deal? Based on the Dr Seuss book, the Grinch (Jim Carrey) is a green and smelly old so-and-so who hates Christmas and decides to ruin it for the community of Whos living at the bottom of his mountain. Is it any good? If you're a fan of Jim Carrey then you're guaranteed to love this movie as he's on fine face-pulling form. And the special effects are amazing. F INAL F ANTASY – T HE S PIRITS W ITHIN What's the deal? Based on computer game Final Fantasy , this is set in 2065. The Earth has been infested with aliens and mankind faces extinction. It's up to scientist Dr Aki Ross, guided by her mentor, to collect spirits for a force powerful enough to save the planet! Is it any good? The effects are fantastic – but often they distract from the storyline. If you like alien blockbusters and all things computer-animated, you'll love it. B LOW DRY What's the deal? When the National Hairdressing Championships arrive in Keighley, two rival salons run by the separated parents of Brian (Josh Hartnett) put aside their bitter feud to beat the out-of-towners. Is it any good? Quite frankly, no. This film is a load of drivel but good for a tongue-firmly-in-cheek laugh. The sight of Josh (whose Yorkshire accent is shocking) saves it from the salon of hair-don'ts from hell!

AFTER LATOYA KING, 15, WAS BEATEN UP, SHE LEARNED TO DEFEND HERSELF. NOW SHE'S THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S GOLDEN GLOVES CHAMP! 1 When I was 11 years old, a couple of boys attacked my little brother, Calvin. I stepped in to defend him, but got stomped on, hit in the jaw and struck above my eye with a broomstick. They left me on the ground, bleeding and crying. The next day, my mom told me that my brother and I had to take boxing lessons. I agreed because I wanted to learn to defend myself, but I never thought I'd actually make boxing my career. 2 The first time I got in the ring with my trainer and started sparring – that's practice for a fight – I was so scared. But three months later I had my first match. My opponent was a girl older and bigger than me, and I was very nervous. But after I had given the first punch, I knew I could win. And I did – after three rounds. I was so excited, jumping up and down in the ring! After that, I knew I wanted to be the best. 3 I won't lie, it's a tough sport. And it's not easy, balancing boxing with school and friends. But I think education is important, so every day after school I do my homework first, then hit the gym. I train five days a week for two or three hours a day. I spar, do sit- ups and jump rope. Even though I box against girls, I usually practice with boys. At first they wouldn't hit me hard, but now they just treat me like any other boxer. 4 Today, I'm the three-time National Women's Gloves Champion (flyweight division) and this summer I'll compete in the Women's U.S. National Championships. Most of my friends think it's really cool that I box, although some of them can't believe it until I show them the belts that I've won. Ultimately, I want to fight in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, if women's boxing becomes a medal sport. 5 I want girls everywhere to know that although boxing is traditionally a guys' sport, they can do it too. Go to your local recreation center or gym and find out if they have any programs for girls. Boxing has taught me that you can do whatever you want. You just have to put your mind to it.

Marilyn hopes that Moses’ real mum will soon take care of him. ”She is starting to clean him," explains Marilyn. “He is my small miracle. There’s no way I would part with him.”

A Katie B Leslie C Abby D Vicki Reaction on 'Running for your life' in our January issue I don't know why you bothered to write an article on girls who smuggle drugs. Why should we feel sorry for them? Anyone who gets involved in drugs is mad, but smuggling them is just stupid. I think they got everything they deserved. Katie , Norwich really stupid. If someone I You read stories about girls like Jane smuggling drugs in the papers all the time and you automatically assume they're guilty. Jane's story was a real eye-opener. I couldn't believe how badly she'd been treated. It's made me wonder how many other girls are innocent. Abby , Oxford

Op internet staat de vraag "Hebben jongens hun eigen tijdschrift nodig?" → Wie vindt van niet ? Schrijf de twee namen op. Do boys need their own magazines? "I do think there should be a decent boy mag out there. But there shouldn't be a problem page in it. "Boys definitely need a teen mag that describes all the crazy things that they like to do. Like beat each other up every other minute!" "I've been wanting a lads teenage magazine with films, music and news for ages. I will certainly read it." "Hardly any boy will read it, they will get embarrassed to be reading in front of their mates anyway and looking at pictures of celebrities." "I think it's great because my little brother reads all my magazines and it will be nice when he can buy his own and stop nicking mine!" "Boys don't really get a chance to talk about things in the way girls do. The magazine will give them information that they need so that they understand more about the world. Maybe it will also teach them how girls think!" "It's a waste of time and money because no boys of my age will buy it and why can't some people just realise that boys would get bored of fashion mags. I'll just stick to the football ones myself" "I think boys are shyer about their feelings and I think it would be good for them to know there are other people thinking the same as them. Plus guys like different things to girls, so boys' mags can cater for that. " "I'm going to buy one copy when it comes out and if it's good then I'll continue buying. It would be great if it also had quizzes to see if you would be popular. Let boys have the chance to read mags!"
