MOVIE REVIEW: THE PRESTIGE

You know when you want to relax and see a movie on the sofa after a long day? Well, yesterday I saw a wonderful movie, one of Christopher Nolan’s masterpieces. To tell the truth,  I was skeptical at first, but still I had to see it. And guess what? I’ve discovered I love it. One of the best movie in the world!

OSCAR FEVER

There was an Oscar night! The most important event in the movie world took place in the City of Angels, again this year! Beautiful dresses, talented actors and actresses, so much fun, tense moments and so on and so forth! The Oscar night gave great emotions with some touching and inspiring speeches.      

                  

“This year, when you hear your name called, don’t get up right away”

Jimmy Kimmel opened the ceremony promising there would be no sequel to the 2017 Best Picture mishap. Do you remember? Warren Beatty announced La La Land had won the Academy Awards when in fact Moonlight was the winner.

                Warren, what are you up to? You scared the hell out of everyone! Let's move on now!                                                             

DREAM BIG, PRINCESS!

What could be better than a Disney movie with a cup of hot chocolate on a winter day? Nothing at all!

YOUNG NERDS GROW UP!

Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein’s posters are hung on the wall in his bedroom. He puts a pair of glover up not to touch his brother’s filthy hands. He comes to church with his mother only because “I don’t believe in God, but I believe in my mother”. We are in 1989 and he is an out of the ordinary boy, that’s to be expected! Do you understand who I am talking about? Maybe the photo above has given you a little clue! 

HAS TECHNOLOGY RUINED OUR LIVES?

Has technology ruined our lives? Should we consider it progression or regression ? We watched two videos in our English lessons, we discussed them together and we also wrote our reflections on the issues they deal with.  

In the first video Simon Sinek tells us about Millenials, people born approximately 1984 and after.  He tells how the Millenials are rarely truly happy or satisfied and that they are accused of being entitled, unfocused, lazy and narcissistic. But he also explains that it is not their fault, there are  several different reasons and one of them is their excessive use of technological devices and social media.

WE ARE BACK!

THREE PERFECT MOVIES FOR INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

Today is the International Remembrance Day and we want to do our part and contribute a post regarding the Holocaust.

We live in a society that need to remember and not to forget the past,  what has been must not  happen anymore. We must learn from the past and make the horrible stories we know about become lessons we truly understand. The world is not all pink and flowers, it has never been and it will never be. What is important is our commitment for the right causes, our will to do our part. Things may change thanks to each one of us!

So, as we are cinema staff here on Let’s Blog,  we have chosen a few  movies to remember.
