Movie Matilda in short version

The movie is about a clever girl named Matilda. When she was two years old she started cooking her own lunch, because her mom went to play BINGO with friends, her dad went to work, and her brother went to play. Then one day when she was three and a half years old, she went to the closest library, and borrowed books starting from little baby books to grown up books. She read grown up books with great vocabulary when she was only four years old.

Then, one day when she went to the library and the owner said "You have been reading very well you may keep some books you borrow, if you would like." "Really?" she questioned. "Really" the librarian answered. She was so excited that she almost went to the wrong direction. One day her dad Harry found out she was reading books, and he did not want her to. He said "Do not even mention reading." He wanted her to watch TV and play all day, so she watched for about three seconds and the TV exploded but it did not damage the furniture. It was red with two antennas. This is when she learned her eye powers. She can move objects around and put them in a different location by looking at them and then looking else. She was cautious when she would do this.

One day her dad said "You want to go to school?" She replied, "Yes" excitedly. Her dad said, " Fine. Come along with me." Matilda was so excited. Harry took her to his car and drove to school. When she got there she saw many students standing by a big building. Next, she noticed the principal. She looked really scary, so Matilda hid in a big crack in the building next to the school. Another girl came to hide too. She said "Scary huh?" Matilda whispered “Yeah." When everybody started walking in, they followed.

Their teacher, Mrs. Honey was very kind, and they got to be friends.

A couple days later in the morning the principal saw a girl wearing two braids. She swung her around and around. Then, let her fly away. She almost fell onto sharp edges of the gate, but luckily she flew over and landed in a patch of flowers. She picked a few flowers, and gave them to her teacher.

A few months later someone ate the principal's cake, so she called the whole school to come into a large room. Next, she called a fat boy to eat the rest of the cake to see if he had eaten the cake. He started eating and the crowd chanted to help him eat a yummy cake. The principal shouted "Stop chanting." When he finished the cake the principal took him to a closet of spikes everywhere.

A couple weeks later the class Matilda was in were discovering and learning insects, but when Matilda was still outside packing her books she got put in the closet of spikes. When class started her teacher let her out.

Days later they made a plan, so they all came early and put an insect in the principal's glass of water. She drank a bit and saw the insect, she shouted "who put that snake in my water." Matilda's friend raised her hand slowly, so she also got put in the spike closet.

That evening Matilda wanted to scare her principal, so she used her eye powers first to steal her teacher's doll. Next, to make the house shake. She did.

The next morning she gave the doll to her teacher without the principal seeing.

A couple of days later when the principal got to school, Matilda used chalk erasers, and clapped them in her face. Next, Maltilda used her eye powers to swing her on the globe. The principal hung Matilda's friend on a bar, so Matilda used her eye power to get her down carefully. Then they started throwing food and candy at the principal. Next, the principal drove home and was never seen again. Matilda lived with her teacher happily every after.

I saw the movie Matilda on November 7th, 2008. I like the movie, because it had a lot of action and it caught my attention. I almost did not blink the whole time.
