THE SHOOTER


Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is a retired United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper who left the Marines after a betrayal by the CIA which left his best friend and spotter, Donnie Fenn, dead. A group that leads him to believe they are federal agents, approaches him to help entrap a potential assassin, who may attempt to shoot the President at one of three possible locations.

Swagger is framed, and afterwards every law enforcement agency is after him, and he is forced to use his military training so that justice prevails.

After the plan to assassinate the President of the United States, there are vested interests by size of a dinner that is guilty of multiple killings, the same as those mandated to carry out in the name of peace, but it was quite the opposite, with all this order to get more political and economic power.

This happens daily in many countries of the world where the great politicians, are trying to come to power by all means, no matter what they have to do to achieve their goals.

TENNIS WHITE SPORT

In our country the Tennis is a sport primarily for the upper class, so the most prominent players of this time are the Lapentti brothers, who have represented us well in different tournaments that take place inside and outside the country.

Van Helsing...


Stephem Sommers is the director of this horror movie publicated in 2004. It is a film developed in a realistic scenario, the costumes are great and the special effects are very interesting...
Hugh Jackman plays the mysterious Gabriel Van Helsing and Kate Beckinsale plays Princess Anna Valerious, the last member of the royal family in Transylvania. The movie is set near the end of the 19th century with Van Helsing working for a secret holy organization that has been defeating evil creatures all over the world for centuries.

die hard 4




An attack on the vulnerable infrastructure of the United States begins to shut down gradually to the entire nation. The mysterious behind this plan has devastating care to the smallest detail, but never was John McClane (Bruce Willis). After 12 years of its predecessor, Hard to Kill or The Jungle Crystal 3: The Revenge, film of the year 1995 and to receive this saga total 4 nominations for the Oscar Awards, which seemed forgotten item, returns to the big screen . And not only marks the return of one of the most beloved by the Americans, John McClane, but also the actor who embodies Bruce Willis, who with more years but almost the same condition, it returns to the genre that gave him international fame and saw it grow. Fortunately, this opportunity is presented for Willis after his unfortunate step earlier this year in the movie "A Stranger to Seduciendo" which starred together won the 2002 Oscar for Best Actress, Halle Berry. The film Hard to Kill, based on the novel "Nothing Lasts Forever" Roderick Thorp, always came from a good idea that leads to scenes with lots of action; remember that the first of 1988, began its history when terrorists take a hotel with hostages on board, among whom was his wife.


The second, "Red Alert", carried out two years later, used a situation that is extreme, when one of the drug czar wants to take the American air traffic. The penultimate of the year 1995, no doubt exacerbated the plot, where the police are faced with a possible terrorist attack on New York and McClane on the other hand, suffers from the separation from his wife and the police agency.

This latest saga would not be the exception, and now takes as its basis, new forms of terrorism based on information systems in the digital world. Among the noteworthy aspects of the tape, I could subrayarles the following: And as we mentioned at the outset, is the return of Willis next to his character, because leave a very good taste at the end of the film. McClane always with his sarcastic humor, takes us back to police this unique, fearless, almost imperturbable and especially harsh to kill. Fidelity to what has been the philosophy in previous releases, ie 100% action. The minimization of digital effects. Most of her scenes were performed by the same Willis and his double, which incidentally suffered a serious fracture in one of these scenes.
I think that this would have detracted much credence to the tape and would have given greater commercial touch, something redundant and unnecessary.

The Romans practiced a game with a curved stick and a ball made of feathers that could be the background of the game of golf. Some historians argue that it would have originated in the Netherlands and that the term comes from the Dutch word "kolf", which means stick. The first news about this sport comes from S.

Verona is an beautiful city located in Italy
The ancient town and the center of the modern city Verona is the setting of the story of Romeo and Juliet, made famous by William Shakespeare. Although the earliest version of the story is set in siena, not Verona — the move was made in Luigi da Porto's Istoria novellamente ritrovata di due Nobili Amanti — a balcony falsely claiming historical connection to the fictional lovers has become a tourist attraction for lovers; the short passageway leading to the balcony is covered with slips of paper carrying their graffiti, and a bronze statue of Juliet stands under the balcony, one breast polished by those touching it for luck.It is a city where you can enjoy a lot with friends or someone special and also you can visit the tourist centers in this city, you can eat delicious food and visit the old buildings.You can meet new people because the Italian people is very friendly and I think It's a beautiful and exciting city to enjoy.....

THE SIMPSONS
MOVIE


The Simpsons Movie is a 2007 American animated comedy film based on the animated television series The Simpsons. The film was directed by David Silverman, and stars the regular television cast of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, Tress MacNeille and Pamela Hayden. It features Albert Brooks as Russ Cargill, the evil head of the Environmental Protection Agency who intends to destroy Springfield after Homer polluted the lake. Because the townspeople exile him and his family abandon him, Homer works to redeem his folly by stopping Cargill's scheme.

Al Jean described the film's message as being "a man should listen to his wife". In addition, the film parodies two major contemporary issues, religion and environmentalism. The theme of environmentalism is present in Homer's polluting of Lake Springfield, Green Day's cameo, and Lisa and Colin's romance. The villainous Russ Cargill is head of the EPA. Reviewer Ed Gonzalez argued the plot was a satire of the government's reaction to the effects of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. Ian Nathan of Empire magazine criticized this focus, believing it gave the film an "overt political agenda" and that it "border[ed] on polemic."

Religion is focused on in Grampa's momentary possession, and Marge believing what he said to be a message from God.Groening joked the film "posit the existence of a very active God", when asked if he believed it was likely to offend.Mark I. Pinsky, author of The Gospel According to The Simpsons, said the film "treats genuine faith with respect, while keeping a sharp eye out for religious pretension and hypocrisy of all kinds". Regarding the scene where the tenants of Moe's Tavern and the Church switch locations, he believed it took the "chance to unmask everyone's human fallibility". In analyzing the role of Ned Flanders, he wrote, "It is willingness of The Simpsons to depict all the different sides of us that makes it so rich and funny on our complicated, relationship with religion."The animators inserted an apple tree behind Lisa and Colin during their initial meeting, a reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Trees were implemented in every important or emotional scene throughout the film.

City Of Angels

Based in part on Wim Wenders' 1988 film Wings of Desire, this is the story of Seth (Cage), an angel who wanders the Los Angeles area invisible to humans. As the demise of an individual approaches he spends time near them and becomes visible while acting as their traveling companion during their trip to the great hereafter. His discovery of distraught heart surgeon Maggie (Ryan) inspires him to forego his immortality and exist on earth with her as a feeling and mortal entity.




I've seen Wim Wenders' film "Faraway, So Close," which is the sequel to "Wings of Desire." I haven't seen "Wings of Desire" though and that is what this film is based upon. And while "City of Angels" has an awesome cast, a great script and excellent direction, it probably isn't as good as the original. This is a Hollywood film and when the piece makes it's climax, it rings hollow. This same climax in a Foreign film, might make the film the extremely deep and wondrous. Here, it seems a bit too hard to swallow.



The film lives in two worlds, the world we as humans know, and the ethereal plane where angels exist. The crisscrossing of the two always looks awesome, especially since the angels all dress in black trench coats. These worlds collide when angel Seth, played by Nicolas Cage, comes into contact with a cardiologist named Maggie, played by Meg Ryan. This is the perfect character for the angel to meet since the film is about the meaning of life and the wonders of being human and living on Earth.
While delivering a message to her father, Florentino Ariza spots the barely pubescent Fermina Daza and immediately falls in love. What follows is the story of a passion that extends over 50 years, as Fermina is courted solely by letter, decisively rejects her suitor when he first speaks, and then joins the urbane Dr. Juvenal Urbino, much above her station, in a marriage initially loveless but ultimately remarkable in its strength. Florentino remains faithful in his fashion; paralleling the tale of the marriage is that of his numerous liaisons, all ultimately without the depth of love he again declares at Urbino's death. In substance and style not as fantastical, as mythologizing, as the previous works, this is a compelling exploration of the myths we make of love.

This is my favourite movie, is the best novel of Gabriel Garcia Marquez!!!

"THE TITANIC"

It recreate the tragic sea disaster of April 15, l912. Running over three hours at a cost of more than 200 million.

TENNIS THE WRITE SPORT


Tennis is a game played between two players singles or between two teams of two players doubles. Players use a strung racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt most of the time yellow, but can be any color or even two-tone over a net into the opponent's court.

Originating in Europe in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis", with its roots going back to the ancient game of real tennis, tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world, particularly among the upper classes. Tennis is now once again an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society, by all ages, and in many countries around the world.

Except for the adoption of the tie-breaker in the 1970s, its rules have remained remarkably unchanged since the 1890s. A recent addition to tennis has been the adoption of "instant replay" technology coupled with a point challenge system which allows a player to challenge the official call of a point.

Along with its millions of players, millions of people world-wide follow tennis as a spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. The growth of tennis in Eastern Europe and the Far East has been especially notable in recent years.

ICE SKATING



This is a nice sport, because you can show your hability.
This is a sport that doesn`t be common in our country, her there are two big tracks skating, in two cities Guayaquil and Quito.
In other countries this is a sport much practiced especially in the winter season,as well as practice people of all ages.
Worldwide are making great ice skating championships on ice, the contestants are usually very young girls and they demonstrate their art by performing complex exercises that require great skill.
Couples also compete in these championships, and they performed exercises much more complicated, but each mivimiento being done has a meaning in relation to the topic of his presentation.
I think that at the Equator is due to begin practicing this sport that there are many countries that have great athletes and the Equator should not be the exception

BEE MOVIE


I like Bee movie a lot of becouse the movie is very funny for me, and the story is as follows:
Having just graduated from three days of college, a bee by the name of Barry Bee Benson finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice – honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa . He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bees' honey for centuries, and ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race for stealing their precious honey. Because of this, Barry wins the lawsuit, and all honey in the world is confiscated and returned to the bees. But now, Barry and Vanessa realize that now all the honey in the world is back, every bee has been put out of a job, and thus cannot earn money for their families. Barry also realizes that without bees pollinating the flowers, the plant life is dying.Afterwards, the Bees get all their jobs back and give the honey back to the humans, realizing that without their jobs they were not truly happy when they had all their honey, though the humans and bees treat each other better now. Barry becomes a member of the Bee Brigade, helping to repollinate the plants while running a law firm inside Vanessa's flower shop.

GLADIATOR

General Maximus Decimus Meridius leads the Roman army to victory against Germanic barbarians in the year 180AD, ending a prolonged war and earning the esteem of the elderly Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Although the dying Aurelius possesses a son, Commodus, Aurelius wishes to appoint temporary leadership to the morally upstanding Maximus, with a desire to eventually return power to the Roman Senate. Aurelius informs Maximus of his decision and offers him time to consider before informing Commodus, who subsequently murders his father. Commodus, declaring himself the emperor, asks Maximus for his loyalty, which the General refuses, realizing Commodus's involvement in the Emperor’s death. Commodus orders Maximus to be executed and dispatches Praetorian Guards to murder his wife and son. Maximus resists his would-be executors and races home, only to stumble upon his family's charred and crucified bodies in the smoldering ruins of his villa. After burying his wife and son, Maximus succumbs to grief and exhaustion and collapses on their graves.
Slave traders find Maximus and take him to Zucchabar, a rugged province in North Africa, where he is purchased by Proximo, the head of a local gladiator school. Distraught and nihilistic over the death of his family and betrayal by his empire, Maximus initially refuses to fight, but as he defends himself in the arena his formidable combat skills lead to a rise in popularity with the audience. As he trains and fights further, Maximus befriends Hagen, a Germanian barbarian and the Numidian gladiator Juba, an African hunter who proves himself a close friend and confidant to the grieving Maximus, the two speaking frequently of the afterlife and Maximus's eventual reunification with his family.
In Rome, Commodus reopens the gladiatorial games to commemorate his father's death, and Proximo's company of gladiators are hired to participate. In a recreation of the Battle of Zama (incorrectly named the Battle of Carthage) at the Colosseum, Maximus leads Proximo's gladiators to decisive victory against a more powerful force, much to the amazement of the crowd. Commodus descends into the arena to meet the victors and is stunned to discover Maximus as the leader of Proximo's gladiators. The Emperor, unable to kill Maximus because of the crowd's roaring approval for him, sulks out of the arena.
As the games continue, Commodus pits Maximus agaisnt Tigris of Gaul, Rome's only undefeated gladiator, in an arena surrounded by chained tigers with handlers instructed to target Maximus. Following an intense battle, Maximus narrowly defeats Tigris and awaits Commodus's decision to kill or spare Tigris. As Commodus votes for death, Maximus spares Tigris, deliberately insulting the Emperor and garnering the audience's approval. His bitter enemy now known as "Maximus the Merciful," Commodus becomes more frustrated at his inability to kill Maximus or his ascending popularity while his own shrinks.
Following the fight, Maximus meets his former servant Cicero, who reveals that Maximus's army remains loyal to him. Maximus forms a plot with Lucilla, Commodus' sister and Senator Gracchus to reunite Maximus with his army and return to Rome to overthrow Commodus. Commodus however, suspecting his sister's betrayal, threatens her young son and forces her to reveal the plot. Praetorian guards immediately storm Proximo's gladiator barracks, battling the gladiators while Maximus escapes. Hagen and Proximo are killed in the siege while Juba and the survivors are imprisoned, while Maximus escapes to the city walls only to witness Cicero's death and be ambushed by a legion of Praetorian guards.
Concluding that legends born in the Colosseum must die there, Commodus challenges Maximus to a duel in front of a roaring audience. Acknowledging that Maximus's skill exceeds his own, Commodus wounds Maximus with a stiletto before the battle and conceals the wound beneath his armor. In the arena, the two exchange blows and wounds before Maximus rips the sword from Commodus's hands, beating him into submission and sliding Commodus's hidden stiletto into his neck. Commodus collapses in the now-silent Colosseum while Maximus, barely alive, sees his wife and son in the afterlife. He reaches for them, but is pulled back to reality by the Praetorian prefect Quintus, who asks Maximus for instructions. Maximus orders the release of the Proximo's gladiators and Senator Gracchus, whom he reinstates and instructs to return Rome to a Senate-based government. With that, Maximus collapses, and Lucilla rushes to his aid. After being reassured that her son is safe and Commodus is dead, he succumbs to death, and wanders into the afterlife to his family in the distance. Senator Gracchus and Proximo's gladiators carry Maximus's dead body out of the Colosseum. Now free, Juba buries Maximus' two small statues of his wife and son in the ground where Maximus died.

'The Family Man

'The Family Man
Nicolas Cage is one of those Wall Street sharks who specializes in making money off of corporate mergers. By all outward appearances, he's happy and successful, and if the largest pharmaceutical merger in history happens to be taking place over the Christmas holiday, he's more than eager to report to work and drag all of his staff in with him. His problem is that although he thinks he's happy, he really isn't. Ponder that one for a few minutes.
As you probably guessed, Cage's bachelor ways are about to receive a sudden shock. A chance encounter with Don Cheadle in a convenience store leads to Cage getting a "glimpse" of what his life would have been like had he married former girlfriend Téa Leoni back in 1987 instead of getting on that plane to London. He awakens the next morning to find himself in a strange house, married (with two children and a dog), and working as a tire salesman. But at least he gets to bowl in a league Thursday nights.
Much of what makes The Family Man work is the intelligent way the script deals with its subject material and the questions it raises. Instead of being another cardboard Scrooge cutout, Cage's character has depth, with good qualities as well as bad. He seems like a real person, which lends the whole narrative a feeling of relevance. The film doesn't seek to portray his old life as completely vile or his new domesticated version as full of light and happiness, but instead shows how each lifestyle has advantages and drawbacks of its own. I found this a refreshing change from the "You can have it all" crap that advertisers constantly attempt to force-feed us.
The way the story plays out, director Brett Ratner never firmly states whether Cage is really experiencing this alternate reality, or whether it's only a dream. Cheadle's character is never clarified at all (we're not sure whether he's a street hustler or an angel, or maybe a little of both). On one hand, this ambiguity allows the audience the freedom of its own interpretation. On the other, it sure lets the filmmakers off the hook for a lot of sticky explanation. For the record, there's a scene late in the film which pretty much rules out the dream interpretation, which is unfortunate.
While this movie is busy meditating over the pros and cons of materialism versus love and family, it's also busy pushing product placements in front of our noses at every opportunity. This isn't good. But it emphasizes one of the ironic aspects of this film: here's a movie which is basically saying the materialistic lifestyle is superficial and lacking, while the media in general spend all their time convincing us that our lives are defined by what material goods we possess. Stated another way, what do you think the chances are that the people who made and financed this film don't own a lot of expensive cars, suits, and other toys themselves? If I was cynical (which you all know couldn't be further from the truth), I might say the filmmakers were telling the audience what it wants to hear for the sake of making a quick buck. Or in this case, a quick $8.75.
Of course, when Cage finally tracks down Leoni in real life, he finds she's married, has six children, and weighs 350 pounds. So he decides life as a bachelor wasn't so bad after all, and drives off into the sunset in his Ferrari. Okay, so I made all that up - what do you expect happens?

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.





One of my favorite movies is "Life is Beautiful" which deals with:

A few years before the start of World War II, a young man named Guido arrives in a small village in Tuscany, Italy with the intention of opening a bookstore. You know Dora, promised the fascist Ferruccio, which will get married and have a child. With the advent of war three will be interned in a concentration camp where Guido will do the impossible to believe your child to the plight they are experiencing is just a game.




Undoubtedly Life is Beautiful "is a film that has managed to break molds. With two distinct and opposing a romantic and otherwise totally dramatic Benigni masterfully exploited the feeling, getting bamboozle the viewer and make shared the sorrows and joys of the protagonists. The Italian director is a genius capable of converting it into something funny sadder, booting a smile, to mourn and what is even more difficult to laugh. It is gratifying to finally recognize the merits of European cinema, on the other hand, has nothing to envy of the super American productions. This is a clear example of that Europeans up for the lack of money with a stunning quality.
