on a roll
- the phrase 'on a roll' means you are having lots of good luck in your life
Man: I hear your sister's getting married.
Woman: Yeah, she met this amazing guy while she was working in the theatre in London, and six months later they're engaged! And then, yesterday she was offered the lead part in the theatre's new play. She's really on a roll!
romcom
- 'Romcom' is a word which takes the first two halves of the words 'romantic' and 'comedy'.
I'm catching a movie with my friends after work. We're going to watch the latest romcom.
whodunnit
- 'Whodunnit' is short for 'who has done it'. The point of these films is for the audience to try to guess who committed a serious crime – usually murder.
Alfred Hitchcock was the master of the whodunnit. Nobody makes better films in that genre than he did!
sci-fi
- 'Sci-fi is a word which takes the first two halves of the words 'science' and 'fiction.' These films usually feature robots, aliens and inventions from the future.
My favourite sci-fi movie is Star Wars. I can't wait for the next film in the series!
