Movie Review: Deadpool

My favourite film is Deadpool.

It is an action film. The film tells the story of an anti-hero, Wade Wilson, who had cancer. Because he little chance of survival, he accepted undergoing an experimental treatment and as a consequence, his skin got scarred buut never lost his huge sense of humor. His goals become then to reverse the situation and then seek revenge on the man who destroyed his life.

The cast is excellent: Ryan Reynolds (the main character), Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, Ed Skrein, T.J Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, Stan Lee and Taylor Hickson.

The plot is thrilling and has an unexpected twist.

In the beginning, people expect it to be an action film, but then it is about the story of his life.

The special effects are amazing. For example bullets coming out of the gun, a glass of a capsule that never breaks, among others.

The costumes are magnificent except the Negasonic’s one. It’s totally black and she only wears a yellow belt. It looks like she is a villain and not a good character.

I would definitely recommend watching it because it has an unexpected ending and lots of action.

Music, oh music, my inspiration...

Movie Recommendation: Hansel & Gretel

Hi!

Today I´m going to talk to you guys about a movie, Hansel and Greta: Witch Hunters.

I had first thought about writing a movie recommendation on Rocky IV but this movie is more, much more, recent.

This movie is rated as action and fantasy and was directed by Tommy Wirkola, starring Jeremy Renner  and Gemma Arterton as the main characters.
This movie is the continuation of the children´s book "Hansel and Gretel" by the Grimm brothers and, as such, it basically tells us the story of the siblings as adults....and obviously they are hunting and killing witches.
Why? Well because they hate them since they were almost killed by one as kids.
The soundtrack of this movie is pretty cool and fits in really well on the movie in general but the music that I love the most of all is gotta be Animal Alpha - Bundy. It is pretty cool in my opinion.

Well, and this is it. Thank you for reading this. =)

Movie Review: Thor

Hello,
 

I decided to write a review on Thor. This movie is based on the Marvel character with same name.

Thor is about the story of Thor, a god who is expelled from his home and sent to Earth to restart an old war. Thanks to life with mortals, he must learn to be a true hero to fight evil forces that threaten the Earth.

I think this film is really good, especially the plot.

The main characters are Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. A quality cast I would say!

    

I think you should watch it if you like action films.

Movie Review: The Impossible

"The Impossible"  is, above all, a drama movie based on true events that took place in Thailand in 2004 when the area was struck by a massive tsunami.

The actors are: Maria (Naomi Watts), Lucas (Tom Holland), Henry (Ewan McGregor), Thoma (Samuel Joslin) and Simon (Pendergant).  One of the songs of the film is "Not alone" by Linkin Park. 

I highly recommend it: it is an absolutely beautiful film and there are no words to describe it - so sad and yet so impossibly lucky! It is worth taking the time to watch it.

This great movie was directed by Juan Antonio Bayona.

                                                 

                

Movie Review: Fast & Furious 7

My favourite film is Fast and Furious 7. It is an action and thriller film.
The film tells us the story of Dom, Brian and Letty and their team (they were thieves but now  help the police). They go back to the U.S.A. but they have to deal with Ian Shaw, whose brother was killed by them (in Fast & Furious 6), because he wants to take revenge on his death.
They fight in car races and reach a dead end, they fight body to body and the good guys win.
The film has a quality cast: the main characters are Paul Walker and Vin Diesel; the others characters are performed by Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Tyrese Gilson, Ludacris, Kurt Russell, Jordana Brewster and Djimon Hounsou.
The plot is thrilling and interesting but has an unexpected twist. The special effects are absolutely amazing, specially fast (for these who love sports cars).
I would definitely recommend watching the film because the film is amazing.

 

Movie Review: The Visit

    Hi, guys!

The Visit's poster

    I decided to do a review on The Visit. This is a horror film which came out last year (2015).
    The Visit is about two kids, Becca and Tyler, who visit their grandparents for the first time. They decide to stay there for a week, while their mom goes on a trip with her boyfriend. Becca decides to film their stay in order to help their mom reconnect with their grandparents and to find out more about them. But, as the week progresses, the kids start finding dark secrets about them...
    I think this film is really good. I was only expecting to get scared, but the film was funny as well (specially Tyler)! The plot is really good and and it has a huge twist at the end.
    The main actors are Olivia DeJonge (Becca), Ed Oxenbould (Tyler), Deanna Dunagan (grandma), Peter McRobbie (grandpa) and Kathryn Hahn (mum). They are all amazing actors!
    I think you should watch it, if you like horror films, maybe even if you don't, because this one isn't VERY scary, I personally like them scarier.

Grandma (Deanna Dunagan)

   Bye :)

My favourite book is “Tique Tal” by Dário Guerreiro, and he also makes videos to youtube .
He was born on 23rd June, 1989 , he took a professional cooking course where he learned , among other things, that he did not like cooking so much after all. WHen he was 17 years old, he released his first book of poems and at 18 he entered the University of Algarve on the course "Ciências Documentais e Editoriais", which opened the door to work in a clothing store a shopping center.

Nicholas Sparks, my favourite writer

My favourite writer

Dear Teacher Alex,

Thank you for the email. My favourite writer is Nicholas Sparks. He is my favourite writer, because he writes the best romance books, as an excellent and an impressive way to write, to describe things, to create characters. I started buying his books when I was about twelve years old. Since then I have been tempted to buy all his books, because the stories are so rare and unexpected.

Sparks was born in Omaha, the estate of Nebraska, United Estates of America, on  31st of December, in 1965. He has a degree in Corporate Finance from the University of Notre Dame. His best book, in my opinion, is The Notebook. It’s about a love story, a very emotional story, which follows Allie and Noah. A sentence that I love in the book is  "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough".
This book was a best seller and later,  in 2004, there was a movie based on the book. I recommend all to read the book and watch the movie. Just a warning...you will cry.

Write soon, 

Rachel
