STRONG POINTS : The film shows numerous special effects, the actors play their part well , the story is first commonplace then spins some magic .This trilogy remind us in the Harry Potter legend . Moreover the main actor is really attractive ^^ .
The film makes us want to see the followups.
WEAK POINTS: It is necessary to wait for a long time before understanding things in particular the fact that Robert is a vampire and that he loves kristen

Correction : Watchmen : the Guardians.
Watchmen : the Guardians.
Watchmen's director is Zack snyder, the American director of 300. It was released in American theatres on March 6. Watchmen is inspired by a comic book :" Watchmen" invented by Alan Moore in 1986. This movie mixes action, drama and S-F and stars"Jackie Earle Harley, Patrick Wilson..." who are not very famous because Zack Snyder did not want a " Big star" in his movie. Watchmen is a very long movie, it lasts 241 minutes, because the comic book is long too ( 408 pages). In the USA, Watchmen was prohibited for under 17 years old whereas in France it was allowed for 12 years old and more!
Review :
_The Comedian has been murdered and his friends want revenge which is the main plot of this movie, but the audience discovers many other things... As a result, Watchmen is a difficult and amazing movie . It mixes complot, Cold war atmosphere, manipulation as well as History and fiction...
Good points:
_ The film is long but the spectators are not bored. There are lots of action, humour, but sorrow and love too.
_ It is not a simple movie of Superheroes, only one Watchman has great powers and this movie is not for children.
_ The graphic style is engrossing because Watchmen has been adapted from a comic book.
Weak points :
_ Many people do not like superheroes' movie.
I recommend this film because it's engrossing, attractive and it changes from the idea of "the good superhero ".

correction gran torino
The film was directed by Clint Eastwood, it was released on February 25 2009, starring Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang and Ahner Her. The film lasts 155 minutes. It is an American film, a drama and a thriller.
Walt Kowalski has just buried his wife. He is surprised when Thao, his young neighbour, tries to steal his collection car, a Gran Torino . A few days later, while members of a small gang headed by Thao's cousin tries to assault Thao, the retired Ford factory worker brings his gun out and scares the thugs. Many Asian families in the neighborhood come to thank him with gifts. The Korean War veteran and racist Walt rejects these oaths of friendship, but Sue, Thao's sister insists. She even ends up convincing him of accepting the young man's help to pay his debt to him. A friendship gradually grows between the two men.
In my opinion the story is great and moving because the story does not end badly for Walt Kowalski.
I recommend this movie to everyone because it is a film with a lot of humanity and the character played by Clint Eastwood is very endearing.

david's review corrected
Rasta Rocket is a comedy directed by Jon Turtleaub starring John Candy (the coatch) which lasts 98 minutes. It was released in 1993, on October the 1st.
The plot is inspired by a real story: four Jamaïcans composed the first Jamaïcan bobsleigh team and went to Calgary (Canada) to be a part of the 1988 winter Olympic Games.
I really liked this movie because there are a lot of funny sequences and the acting is amazing. Denice, Junior and Sanka (3 characters of the bobsleigh team) are exhilirating.

On the other hand, the film is moving because it shows the kind of racism black people are victims of (the German team does not like Jamaïcans and always criticises them).At the end of the film, I was breathless.
For me, this movie does not have weak points at all.
I recommend to people who do not know Rasta Rocket to see it because it is both vivid and funny.
corection of Marla Olmstead questions by Floriane
4. Why did they shoot this trailer?
They shot this trailer because they wanted to show Marla painting , and it makes us more eager to watch or to buy her paintings because being very young she has more merit. Journalists believed that Marla did not paint those works while we are now sure she is the one who painted them.
5/ The Art critics questioned the reality of Marla's talent ... a bit short!

SICKO is a documentary film directed by Michael Moore released in 2007 which lasts 2 hours.
In this movie, Michael Moore criticizes the health care system of the United States of America, comparing it to other countries as Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba. It shows that the American health care system is unacceptable and a minority have access to it, that is to say rich people. Moreover sometimes there is racism to towards ethnic minorities. For example a black man dies because they didn't accept him in a hospital in part because of his colour of skin.
In the movie we can see Michael Moore interviewing and filming the people who helped after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, and others who have difficulties living in good conditions because of the health care system problems. In the other countries he goes to, he interviews people about the health care system of the country where they live, such as Americans living in Paris. He ends his travel in Cuba where he invited all the people with health problems to seek treatments in Cuban hospitals. We can also see an interview of Che Guevara's daughter.
I particulary enjoyed this movie because Moore has a lot of humour and it is very interesting because it deals with a part of American Politics. He has a lot of courage too because he provockes the authorities , for instance in Guantanamo where the prisoners receive a better health care , and George W. Bush's administration. I appreciated the fact that he helps all these Americans experiencing difficulties .
I recommend this film to the people who are interested in political issue worldwide and those who fight against injustice in the world. It obliges us think about people's living conditions all around the world.

The story takes place in the countryside . The story is funny because the children are about ten years old and they are very young and they make loads of stupid things such as smoking . The children are away at a 3-week summer camp with a lot of supervisors , who cannot always check on them or stop them from doing mischief .
I like this film because it is very funny and instructive . This movie reflects the reality of young kids' life nowadays .
However I did not love this film too much because it gives wrong ideas to children .
I think this film is amusing although the children smoke during the movie .

"L'entrée dans l'usine" is the first movie by the Lumière Brothers and the first movie ever, its was created in 1895. "The jazz singer" is the first speaking movie, he was produced in 1927.
The most expensive movie was "Titanic" : its budget was 200 millions dollars but it made a profit of one billion dollars !
In France, the most popular movie is "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis", it was produced last year and more than 20 million French people went to see it.
In december 2008, "The spirit", Frank Miller's second movie after "Sin city", was produced in France. Maybe future movies will look like Franck Miller's movie because its graphic style is totally different.

ShAkOuRa pReSeNt "TaEkWoNdO"...
Hello let me introduce my subject: Teakwondo was created on April 11th in 1955 in Korea, thanks to General "Choi Hong Hi" .Then, with the passing of the years,it developed worldwide. Later it became an Olympic sport.*Free fight/ combat: It includes two people. The goal is to hit and be powerful. To manage seven fulls. In free fight,there are three rounds.
*And ranking:(In French passage de grade)It is a test of knowledge, to increase one's rank. And to reach black belt.
*Then breaking (in French: de la casse) It is an event or a test of power.Breaking can be practised with objects in wood, brick, polystyrene and plastic.....
*Technical demonstration and challenge demonstration:
Taekwondo is especially famous for its spectacular foot technic.
In Korean, tae (Hangul: 태, hanja: 跆) means "to strike or break with foot"; kwon (Hangul: 권, hanja: 拳) means "to strike or break with fist"; and do (Hangul: 도, hanja: 道) means "way" or "method"; so "taekwondo" is loosely translated as "the way of the foot and fist" or "the way of kicking and punching".
There are sixteen belts. Protections are compulsory during a fight/ combat: teeth protection; fight helmet;a shirt front;forearms protections; shins protections; gloves and the debok.
In Taekwondo ,the world's champion is Pascal Gentil. He is very strong and powerful. As well as very tall. He is 1m98 tall.Pascal Gentil won 23 medals in a row. Example: In the French championships he won thirteen gold medals which is extraordinary
The second world's champion is Michael Borot another French man .He is 1m85 tall. He won 14 medals. So Pascal Gentil is stronger than Michael Borot.

Her Majesty’s Royal iPod... by teacher
April 1, 2009, 2:55 pm
Pool photo by John Stillwell President and Mrs. Obama with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh during an audience at Buckingham Palace.
LONDON—
Finally! An answer to the question that everyone has been dying to know, especially after the debacle of the gift exchange ( échange de présents) last month when the Obamas gave British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a bunch of DVDs (une pile de DVDs) and proceeded to get hammered (martelé par la presse) for bad gift-giving by the British press: What did the Obamas give to Queen Elizabeth II Wednesday when they arrived at Buckingham Palace?
An iPod.
Seriously. An Obama aide reports that Mr. Obama gave the queen an iPod loaded (chargé de) with video and photos of her 2007 trip to the United States, as well as other songs and accessories, and a rare songbook signed by Richard Rodgers, of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame.
According to reports, the queen gave the Obamas a silver framed ( cadre en argent) signed photograph — a gift she gives to all visiting dignitaries.
No word yet on whether the songbook included the Rodgers and Hammerstein “Sound of Music” favorite, “My Favorite Things,” or whether the book will become one of the Queen’s favorite things.But one thing is certain. That iPod better have some good songs on there, because if past is prologue (si le passé sert d'indicateur) , the British papers will be examining this gift for a while.
Marla Olmstead's questions by Jessica
Why did they shoot this trailer?
They shot this trailer of the film "My kid could paint that" to determine if Marla's paintings are really art and whether she was talented or just manipulated. However we can see Marla while she is painting, her family, art crtics and newspapers.
What did the art critics question?
The art critics question Marla's gift. Some thought she was obliged by her parents to paint and others thought her works were not really art.

THANKSGIVING
At the end of november, many people start preparing Christmas.
But before, everyone celebrates Thanksgiving in the U.S.A.
This holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, the day when the Mayflower ( a ship) people who were in danger of starving, were saved by "Native Americans" (Indians).
'In the United States, Thanksgiving takes place on the fourth Thursday in November. On that date in 1621, the European settlers ( colons) in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave their thanks to God for letting them survive their first year in the New World. They celebrated by having a large feast or dinner. The Indians who had helped them were invited to that feast. Nowadays, Thanksgiving is a family holiday. On that occasion, members of the same family who live far away get together for a big dinner. This traditional dinner reproduces the food the Plymouth colonists served in 1621: turkey (dindes), sweet potatoes or yams, squash ( courge), corn( maïs), cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. The period from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day is often called the holiday season' ( wikipedia)
One year later, the governor of the colony decided to invite the local Indians to a dinner to thank them for their help.
President Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving an official national holiday in 1863.
During this holiday, Americans eat turkey, sweet potateos (with cranberry sauce), pumpkin (and) pies, and pop corn.
One month after, People celebrate Christmas. New York City has the third tallest Christmas Tree in the world.
