Interstellar's review

The film begins with the Cooper's family and the destruction of the earth because of human life and pollution, life on earth is running out. There are dust storms because oxygen on earth is finished. The crops are devastated by pests that consume oxygen definitively, and dust storms that destroy the planet, causing humanity has regressed to an agrarian society.

There is a phrase that Cooper's father says:
"The humanity was born in Earth, but her destiny is not to die here."


In the family are the father, Joseph Cooper, a former NASA pilot (Matthew McConaughey), his daughter Murph, his father in law and his son. His wife died of brain cancer. 


Cooper is sent into space to explore other galaxies in search of an habitable planet to bring there all humans. From this moment the action begins. It is an interstellar trip with many adventures and dangers.

In my opinion, this movie is one of the best I have ever seen. The visual effects, the actors (my husband Matthew), the feelings and emotions, the story, the director (Christopher Nolan), the great soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and the poem by Dylan Thomas. I LOVED it and I would see it thousands of time more.

REVIEW

TAKEN

Bryan Mills is a retired special agent. But when his daughter Kim is kidnapped in Paris by an Albanian criminal organization, will have to get back into action to try to save her. The band is dedicated to a network of trafficking, so Mills knows that only has a few hours to get rescue before the trail of his daughter perish.

It's a film that makes you be puzzled but it is also absolutely funny. We were totally blown away by the visual images, especially the scenes of the streets of Paris and we love the way the 4D special effects pulled you into the cinema world.


Although it could have been a little longer, in general, we thought it was absolutely wonderful. We strongly recommend it to people that like action movies. We're looking forward to the second part out as it left us speechless.

Review

Ultimas tardes con Teresa.

The book Ultimas tardes con Teresa is set in Barcelona in the 1956s and tells the story of Manolo who lives in El Carmelo and Teresa who lives in Blanes. He is a young man of 19, who survives on the street, is dedicated to stealing motorbikes. On the feast of San Juan, meets Teresa, a rich girl, with whom he gets to have something, but not for long. After living moments together, each will make their way separately.

We believe it is a entertaining book, very detailed and explanatory to the reader to understand the society of that time . Although it is long, it is not heavy you read and each chapter leaves you with a different plot.

Althought it could have been a little shorter, in general,  we thought it was absolutely brilliant. we strongly recommend it to people of all ages.


                                      Some of the things that I like


 I like  meet friends whenever I can, wich is my favorite passtime. I enjoy playing basketball, but I only practise when I stay with my old team mates. In my spare time I like to cook, bake cakes, muffins..with my father, who has taught me to cook.
I would like to travel to many parts of the world and learn more.
I like dancing, singing and do the fool always that I can.
And these are some of the many things I like to do !!

Some of the things that I like

I love playing the swimming practice, which is my favourite sport.However, I I hate the people to just focus on futball and basketball..

I used to play go swimming lessons when I was younger and I will always remember what a great time I spent with my mates!

I love to learn French, which I think is a nice language.

A place that I like country of Brazil , where she is living a very importan friendt for me.

Oscar Predictions, by Tania Hernández and Maria Ortega

The best film to win the Oscar is Boyhood. 


Because it is the film which tells the story of Mason, a boy who lives a time of many changes as changes and controversies, relationships falter, weddings, various schools, first loves.

Also disappointments, wonderful moments of fear and constant mixing tear and surprise.

That is, it is an intimate epic journey through the euphoria of childhood, the seismic shifts of a modern family and the passage of time.

Some of the things that I like


I love playing basketball, which is my favourite sport.However, I can't stand people whose only interest is football.

I used to play basketball when I was younger and I will never forget the day when we won the Junior Spanish Championship. It was great!!!

I love teaching English, which I think is a useful language.

A place that I like is the island of Bali, where I spent one of my best holidays.



There are a lot of activities on the Internet. Try these:

Relative sentences 1
Relative sentences 2
Relative sentences 3


Now, you are ready to publish your own post about the things you like and the things you don't like, which has to be full of relative clauses like mine. Don't forget to write a title, which has to be original, and the labels: relative,your name.
