Is anybody there?

Is anybody there ?

This question have been asked for a long time in our society. Agencies like the NASA and the UFO have been investigate this aspects.

What's more ,it also has got severeal opinions in other "words" like in fiction films . That aliens and spaceships have performanced a main character in several films like in Star trek.

Who kows what is outhere? It only can be an inmensity of darkness without any live . But does it mean than we are alone in the entire Universe? This is one of the most common question that you can have but until now it hasn't got answer.  But on the other hand , What would happened if there were another planet like the Earth? The Universe is by far one of the bigger things that we have ever met and it could be possible.

I bet that some spaceships like the Apolo I ,II or III have done incredible discovers but they haven't find live in other planet yet. Astronauts thought that Mars would be a good planet to live if it hadn't any probleme related with the water and the ground because it isn't be able to have live on it.

GREY'S ANATOMY

Grey’s Anatomy is a great show which shows you how medicine can affect life and that doctors are not always what you expect. It seems to me that this show it’s hilarious and even if you don’t like medicine it could be your favourite show.

I reckon most of the people don’t understand the 30% of medicine vocabulary but you understand all because of the context and it’s very interesting and it makes you stay at the edge of your seat.

I stress in that’s a show which plays with your feelings, it’s a show in which i’ve cried and laugh. What’s more within the cast there are very famous actors and others have beome famous because of their acting in this show.

All of it’s characters are funny and has it’s own great and complex story although they are so nice sometimes they damage each other and you get very dissapointed.

On the other hand it isn’t very original because there are a lot of shows about hospitals and doctors but i stress in how the characters get inside of you and makes you feel so close to them.

I recommend it for people who would like to watch it complete because there are different characters in each season and it’s a bit confusing J

Water for elephants

Water for elephants:

Water for elephants is a 2 year old film of a film director called Francis Lawrence. It's an American romantic drama film based on a book.

It stress of the important of what was the reality of the oldest circuses.

The film starts with an elderly man trying to attend  a performance of a travelling circus that has already ended. The man strikes up a conversation with the owner of the circus and he ends up telling him the story of his life.

The story is based on a circus and it tries to explain the difficulties of living as a vet in the circus, which is the job of the man Jacob . The story is located many years ago, when the elderly man was actually a young man and it’s during one of the most infamous circus disasters of all time.

There are four main characters that are of a high level performance like Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon or Christoph Waltz and Hal Holbrook, the first one is also the main character of the saga Twilight. I admit I wanted to see the film only because of all the good performance of R. Pattinson at Twilight.

This film seems to show the different points of view of the whole work that is done in any circus, like the run-throught performance of every day. Also I would like to reckon in all the ability of each member of the circus to improve the quality or his or her performance. I’ll suggest this film to any romantic film lover. I bet you cannot expect what may happen at the end, I hope you like it.

Mum
Mum is a scary film about two sisters called Victoria (the older one) and Lilly (the younger one) that after her mum's death went to the forest and lived there for five years. When a man found them they were sent with their uncle and their aunt who after some days started to think that there was someone strange in the house where they live that has come with the girls and that are not good news.

I admit that this film has scared me many times but on the other hand I think that is funny to see it with sdome friends and scream when something startle you.

I have to stress three tings, first the make up, specially the one that were the sisters because it really looks like they have been  five years in the forest, the second thing is the cast, again specially the girls because they are too young but they act in a scary way and we have to recognise that merit, finally, the last thing I have to stress are the special effects that are great and help you to be afraid of things that are not real.

I reckon that Mum is a good film but i think that there are other ones that are better because it is not really thrilling is more for shok you many times.

Here you'll find a short summary and the trailer. 'Mum'

The Master

What can i say of one of the best films i've ever seen in a cinema? Should i start talking about the great job of Paul Thomas Anderson on the direction, or should i affirm that the interpretative duel between Joaquín Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman is going to pass to the cinema history? As you can see, i love The Master. It can be for the music, composed by Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), but the principal advantage of the film is that every detail is a masterpiece itself.
On one hand, we have the controversy of the argument (The Master is about a religious sect) and the unpleasant sexuality of some scenes, but in the other hand, we have the complexity that Paul Thomas Anderson gives to every film he does. The Master is pure cinema, is a battle between two injured men in the USA of the 50's.
Finally, i have to explain that i'm not saying you are going to like The Master, i'm just saying this film shows a lot of reasons to love cinema. The Master shows Paul Thomas Anderson, the master.

Aliens are coming

The universe is huge so it is impossible; at least I think so, being alone, without any other kind of life in the whole outer space.
In my opinion aliens are not here yet, but they will, or probably we will land in their planet first. And this is a curious belief, because in films we always see aliens invading the Earth, but have you ever wondered if we actually are the aliens?
Not only that but I am not sure if they really exist, in spite of on the other hand many astrologists have noticed that there are planets, far away, where could be some kind of life, however not only in fara away planets, some scientists say that even sometime a kind of live will be able to live in Mars.
True enough though other people think that they are already here, between us, dressed up as humans, in the most unexpected places, where we cannot realize, as we can see in the "Men in Black" film.
To sum up remember this, I am warning you, watch out, they could be everywhere.

THE IPAD MINI

The Ipad Mini is a new device of the Apple brand that has gone on sale in October of 2012. Is a tablet as an Ipad but in small size. Account with high quality on the screen and graphics it is more advanced than the normal Ipad. Also have two cameras, one on the front and rear where you can take pictures and includes a new application to record what you want in HD. This coated of good quality materials such as aluminum layer in the rear and and they have improved the battery being now of lithium-polymer. However, very few people can buy a device like this because it is very expensive, here in Spain costs around 329 €. A lot of people use it as a distraction to read, play games, download applications or even for the job. It is a very interesting device and it greatest advantage is that you can take it everywhere.

The impossible

The impossible is a Spanish drama which has been recently rewarded with five "Goyas", including the best director one. It is based on the story of a spanish family that survived after a tsunami which happened on the coast of Thailand in 2004. The film shows how each of the members of this family try to find a way to survive on his own. 

I should admit I've never enjoyed watching drama movies. However, I was touched by the story and how they all keep suffering untill the end. It seems to me that the acting is wonderfull and very realistic. I stress the special effects are very crafted and the giant wave is awesome

On the other hand, some scenes really made me feel sick because of the high quantity of blood there is showed. It is impossible not to cry, as I expected the first time I heard about it, so I bet no one who doesn't like crying because of a film would like this one.

To sum up, I recommend  to everybody. This is because I didn't like the idea of drama at first, but I reckon the film surprised me after watching it. So take some tissues and enjoy this Spanish great job.

Les Miserables

The story is set in the first years of the 19th century in France, where there were a lot of riots at that moment. The main characther of the movie is Jean Valjean, played by Hugh Jackman, a prisoner for 19 years,  under protection of a cruel man, Javert (Russell Crowe). 
Years pass and we now can see Jean as the mayor of a town and he owns a factory. In his factory, Fantine (Anne Hathaway) works. She was fired and she had to work as prostitute. When Jean finds her, she's about to die and she asks him if she can look after her child, Cossette.
Ten years pass and we're in France when it's about to start the 1830 Revolution. Now in the film are introduced some characters that are the beginners of the riot, and one of them is Marius, the man who fell in love with Cossette.
To my mind, this is such a good film, because the story is so interesting that you can't take your eyes off the screen. Sometimes you feel a little bit bored because all the film is sang, but there are parts when you think they'd better speak. However, I stress that is worth wathcing.
Furthermore, the cast is amazing, above all Jackman and Hathaway. I bet if Daniel Day-Lewis hadn't won the Oscar  it would have been won by Jackman. And all the awards Anne Hathaway has received are justified: she's on screen half an hour, but this time is great and she's a wonderful singer.
I guess that the most amazing thing of the film is the music and the songs, such beautiful and moving.

21 Jump Street

21 Jump Street : 

Yesterday , I have seen the film 21 Jump Street . It's about two guys that have been in the same highschool buy they weren't friends. After 4 years  , they happened to meet  in the police academy where after all they became good friends. They were a very silly couple of policemans that they couldn't arrest anybody because they never do it well. So her boss decide to get down their status so they had to investigate a school drug pusher.

I admit that the plot of this film it's stupid but it makes you laugh . What's more,the actors were really handsome and they performence their character really well. So this film apart of been a comedy it has got action parts with a lot of incredible effects .

I recommend this film to everyone that want to spend a good time laughing with a good film .

PROMOCIÓN FANTASMA

"Promoción Fantasma" is a spanish comedy. It's about a man who can see ghosts and he started working in a school. In that school there were five ghosts who died in a school party 25 years ago. What's more, they were giving problems to the school because they were always trying to scare the students and if they continue doing it the school would have to close. That's why Modesto, the new teacher, is trying to convince them about leaving the school, but they can't do it whithout passing the course and finishing all what they had to do. 

I reckon it's really funny and it also has a romantic part but there's a lot to think about this movie.

On the other hand, if you prefer accion and thiller movies, I don't recommend you to watch this one but if you like confusing movies you should watch it.

Not only that, but I suppose your're going to expect the end. Appart from that there are a lot of things related to the past, when they were alive, that they're gonna discover thanks to the new teacher.

The Expendables 2

The Expendables 2

Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends, to see the film The Expendables 2.  We were very excited due to see to Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme acting together. Always, they participate in very actions films and their films are very enjoyable.

The Expendables 2 is an American action movie and the story is based on a mercenary group known as “the Expendables” as they undertake a seemingly simple mission which evolves into a quest for revenge against rival mercenary, who murdered one of their own and threatens the world with a deadly weapon.

I expected more action but the actors are older and less aggressive. During the running time, 103 minutes, I only watched two fights really good; perhaps Sylvester Stallone is the actor who has better fitness.

To sum up, I’d recommended this film to everybody because is very interested how to they think about their strategies and how they use the weapon.

Here, you can see a trailer of that film:

The notebook

Recently, I’ve watched a film called “The notebook”. It’s about a love story between two people who really love each other, even when they have become really old. Noah tries to make his wife, Allie, remember their own story by telling it to her from the beginning, when they met in a summer fair.

I reckon it’s really worth watching this film. I really like the way that the story is told to you, and I admit it might be the appropriate film for the people who enjoy watching romantic movies.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. If you love action or comedies, I don’t expect you to like “The notebook” because it’s a kind of drama film, and you wouldn’t have a good time watching it. It’s not only a love story; it also makes you want to cry.

To sum up, I’d recommend this film to everyone disposed to spend an afternoon in front of the TV, eating popcorn and sweets and crying while watching “The Notebook”.

SUPERFICIAL SOCIETY

SUPERFICIAL SOCIETY

I am going to talk about  superficial society inspired by a talk by world-famous model Cameron Russell.  There are a lot of prejudices in our society. There are many  reasons why I believe this. Firstly, people accept good looking people better. In addition, if you are good looking you have more benefits. Finally, one of the worst prejudices that our superficial society has is racism.

At first, people accept good looking people better. For example, if you go to a new school and you are skinny , tall ,etc., people are going to accept you better than if you are fat or ugly. In  jobs you have more opportunities to have a better job if you are good looking  than if you are not.

Moreover , one of the things that Cameron Russell told in a TV program was that if you are  a model like her  or you are beautiful,  you have more benefits than  normal people. For example, when she was with her grandmother and the police stopped them , the police looked at her and said “oh it is ok,  it is ok“;  or when she  went to shop without money , the shop assistants gave her the clothes for free.

Lastly, the most visible case of prejudice is racism. Cameron Russell mentioned that in New York , last year, of the 140.000 teenagers that were stopped and checked by the police,86 percent of them were black or latin. She also said that the fashion industry prefers white people. For example, last year of the  677 model girls only 27 were not white. In addition, in some continents like Asia there are products that makes your skin look whiter. In my opinion, this is one of the worst things that there are in the word.

In conclusion , we live in  a superficial society , where a prettier, thinner girl has more opportunities , benefits and maybe a better life than a uglier, fatter girl.

Here is a link to watch the tv program  where Cameron Russell speaks about this topic . .http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/es/cameron_russell_looks_aren_t_everything_believe_me_i_m_a_model.html
