Don't see TLW if you hate gays!

It's a movie about the lives of gays and lesbians in Las Vegas.
The movie shows us their real life: family, friends, love, work.. Yes, they are complicated, but they are also people who are normal like everyone. They work, they love, they fight.. Just the way the human are..

But I highly recommned NOT to see it if you are allergic to gays! ^^

You've gotta watch E.T !!!

This is a very very emotional movie. It's about love and friendship..

One day there is a UFO appears and somehow leaves an alien on Earth.. Some kids find him and bring him home, consider him a friend to take care of.. They gradually figure out his power on things.. It is also the time that the scientists acknowledge his living around. They want to use him as a strange thing to study. And the kids start helping him go back to his home..

The movie ends up with a happy ending but crying since the kids so love their new friend.

Hope you guys enjoy it! ^^

Thumbs up for Slevin

There are so many good movies, but I want to recommend one that probably most of you did not see: "Lucky Number Slevin".
The Cast includes big names as Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Ben Kingsley, Lucy Liu and Josh Hartnett and it was directed by Paul McGuigan
Lucky Number Slevin is an intriguing film that I would describe as a comedy with a dramatic beginning, a mysterious plot with a surprise ending
Enjoy it!

Very funny movie:)

Pink Panter 2006
Genre Comedy, Crime, Action, Mystery, Adventure
Actors Steve Martin, Jean Reno, Emely Mortimer
Director Harald Zward
When I went to see the film I brought with me a very good friend who just happens to be from France, and we thought the movie was hilarious! First off, his accent sounds nothing like how they made sound in the movie. It was so ridiculous we were rolling. My friend has struggled with pronouncing words in the past (hamburger actually was one of those words) so, it was really funny for us because it gave us a chance to laugh at ourselves. Well, mostly at him, but it was still funny. I have never seen the old Pink Panther movies, but I thought this one was great. Steve Martin was extremely funny in this movie.

Blind Side and Waterworld

Thumbs UP! Blind Side

This movie can be easily recommended to all classmates. It’s the story of a homeless African American teenager that with the help of an amazing family gets a scholarship to a university playing football and after graduating gets drafted by NFL.

The best thing about this movie is that is based on a true story and that give us a great feeling that we can believe in humankind doing good for others.


Thumbs DOWN! Waterworld

Definitely not worth watching and was even considered the worst movie ever made in history! The special effects are terrible, the storyline is not grabbing and although a great cast was hired, actor’s performances are poor.

The worst thing about this movie is that it’s a wet version of Mad Max, a post-apocalyptic cult classic from the 80’s, that didn’t work.

watch it but....

Thumbs UP!
I was really curious about Harry Potter movie. When I first read the children novels from J.K.Rowling. I was looking forward to watch a movie which directed by many directors, Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, David Yates and Ben Hibon. Harry Potter bases on 7 novels book which takes place on England. The director and producer wants to represent the original scenery from the book by choosing the stars and setting only at England. The 3 main actors are Daniel Radcliffe who acts as Harry Potter, Emma Watson acts as Hermione and Rubert Grint acts as Ron Weasley. This movie is fantasy film which has 7 episodes.

1.Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone
2.Harry Potter and the Chamber of secret
3.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4.Harry Potter and the Golbet of Fire
5.Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
6.Harry Potter and the Half blood prince
7.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2

Harry Potter inspires me to the different world, magic world, which the plot includes the social life and conflict of the story. The charactors show how do they grow up of his life, idea and trobles which face them up. I highly recommend this movie to all genre of movie's fan. And this movie is going to drag you to the end next year.

Thumbs down !
I have the bad one movie which I don't want to recommend, SAW. This is the horror movie which produces to be a short film. It have been realeased subsequently every October, on the Friday before Halloween. This film has the sense of torture which is self-inflicted by the charactors. There is no main charactor because the story has not been followed eventhough they have six episodes and one 3D film. I think this film makes people scare of living in the moment. They make people less rely on each others and afraid to show the feeling. The setting is so horror and not good for children. If you watch this movie, you have to be a strong sense.

thumbs up and thumbs down

I would like to highly recommend "harry potter" the review excites to me all the more because of the fact that the prople have asid it has done a lot of justice to the book . As an avid Harry Potter fan , i was really worried , especially after watching the ending of Harry potter and half blood Prince of the fact that whether the last part wold at all have anything to do with the book . it is a relief that so many people actually liked it and commmented that if follows the book.

I woul not recommed "twilight " I have to give thumbs down because they have a different opinion. More then once, I have answered a Twilight question very neutrally and was given simply . I don't like anymore , but I used to be obsessed and so I know about the series

" Shrek" that the movie I would highly recommend

Thumbs up!!
The name of Movie - Shrek
Genre Films - Animated comedy film
Actor - A green ogre (Mike myers)
Director - Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson

I would like to recommend this movie for relaxing. By myself I really like cartoon movie especially comedy movie. The story of this movie talk about a green ogre that has enjoyed living in peaceful like me. He has close friend who name is Donky,he is very talkative and funny animal. They try to help the princess name Fiona in the episode one. In the episode two they got married with princess and have the kids. The final episode talk about relationship in the family. Now they have three episode include varies emotion but still comedy the same.

Thumbs down!!
The name of movie - A Diary of Wimpy kid
Genre Films - Realistic fiction novel

I would not to recommend this movie. Actually this movie is good for family and children but by myself I do no like it.When I saw the movie I feel bored.It is talk about story of a boy who is in the first year in middle school and his diary. I saw this movie because I saw many books and many episode in the book store. I thought it may really good movie but I do not think about that. The movie just talk about activities of student in the school, It is not exciting for me.

Movie(Thumbs up and down)

I would recommend "Paranamal Activity" . The actors are Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat and Mark Fedrichs and director is Oren Peli. This movie is horror about ghost who followed young lady since she was young and started to happen again to her family.
The couple was moving into a suburban home and they found something happen that they could not explain. So they shot themselves every night but everything was getting worstand worstuntil last night. This is a good movie that I recommend for peopel who likes horror movie to see and you will not disappointed.


I would not recommend "Watchmen". The director is Zach Snyder and actors are Jackie Earle Haley, Patrick Wilson and Carla Guaino.

This movie is about Superheroes who exist. Someone who was murder of colleague so tehy had to investigate what happend and who was behind this.

This was a biggest movie that many people recommended me to see it. I was really dippointed because for the whole story I did not understand and what did the movie try to express to me? I think the director has to focus what is important to express to the audience more than focus in the book. This movie was boring to me a lot.

My thumb-up and thumd-down movies

I would like to highly recommand " Up" to everyone I knew.
Up is a animation and adventure movie, which describe an old widower who wants to fullfill his decease wife's wish, then he starts an adventure. During this whole journey this widower is not alone, there is a boy accidental bump into this trip. From the very beginning, this widower is a isolated and grumpy old man, throught out their adventure, this old widower realizes his wife's real wish and becomes an open-minded and considered person. I have seen this films so many times via television, I still felt touched whenever I watched. I highly recommand it to you, and I know you will enjoy like I do ( cross my heart )!
I would not recommand " MaMa Mia" to whom doesn't enjoy musical at all. This movie is a musical but without good plot supported. I like the leading actress, Meryl Streep, who is a very good actress, however she is not a good singner. Without a good constuction plot, this movie is just a musical video with beautiful view. If you really like ABBA's music, you can take a look of this movie, otherwise don't waste your time and money.

Movies

I would like to recommend movie "Cop out". Comedy. Stars: Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgand and Juan Carlos Hermandez. Director: Kevin Smith. Its so funny comedy about a veteran NYPD cope whose rave baseball cards is stolen. This card is only one hope for him to pay his daughters upcoming weeding. He recruits his partner to get card back from thief. A lot of the dialogue is so funny. You can laught all the action. Actors are great and so funny.
I really dont recommend watch "Sherlock Holmes". Action/Adventure/Crime. Stars: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel Mc Adams. Director: Guy Ritchie. Detective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watoon engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England. Action is so poor, terrible screenplay. A plot was boring and can make you sleep. Every scene is visually ugly. Its worse film I have ever seen.

It is not easy...

I believe that among the various countries in the world, the United States is one of the most complicated to obtain citizenship or at least a visa that allows you to stay for a long period of time in the territory.
In my personal case, the reason that prompted me to immigrate to the U.S. was my girlfriend, she's from Chicago, so when we had to choose what to do with our future, I thought it would be easier for both to live in the United States, the land of the opportunities.
Now, I find myself to face to U.S. laws..
My idea was simple, get a job to pay the rent and other charges but the story it was different.
I was here the first three months on a tourist visa, during this time I tried to understand what I should do to get a work visa, and to my great surprise, although I am a qualified chef in an Italian academy of culinary art, there is no way to work legally.
Now, I have to pay almost $ 400 a month for the school, plus the rent plus all other costs, to be allowed to continue to be with my girlfriend, and if my parents had not helped me, I would not have other solutions that go back to Italy.
In April I will have finished my studies, so I'll have two months to find a solution that, according to lawyers with whom I spoke it is only one.. get marry, option number two: return to my country.

My immigration experience (H. W.)

When visiting the US one has no idea how different it is from when moving here for real. American culture is so disseminated worldwide through movies and music that there's always that feeling that we know enough but that's not even close to how one gets bombarded with new information when moving here.

For me, coming from a tropical country, where people are very open, talkative and ready to make new friendships, coming to the US, especially Chicago wasn’t easy. When speaking, we express a lot of feelings, constantly moving our hands and arms and here where private space is a golden rule can be easy to offend someone or make them feel uncomfortable.

After a while naturally we get used to the local manners and even start questioning your own cultural characteristics. At first when we think our manner is a better way to deal with relationships and after a period of time, you think our own ways are strange. There’s always that feeling of trying to figure out which way is right or wrong, better or worst but there are no sides to mannerisms, we have to understand that they are just different.

An Immigration Experience

The United state is the most serious immigration in the world ! Why don't I say that ? because everyone knows how do they do when people want to get it. The problem of visa timing and the reason to stay in US is the famous question of visitors. However, the nation has to protect themselves especially, this is the powerful country and people want to be in some part of US by reason of money, opportunity and education.

When I had an interview at The United State embrassy, I was excited. I wanted to come to US for study and travel that was the reason of a lot of question from officer. Finally, I passed and I got here. How do you know ? The first day was in US was the first time to meet immigration. He make sure about my reason before releasing me to got in the land. I was happy that everything went smoothly as silk. I hope you have a wonderful time in The United State and live far away from the immigration. Because we don't know when they want to send you back?

My immigration experience

I have a good experience in USA. I never thought that I would learn a lot thing from here. The first year in here, my English was bad and I was afraid to talk with other people. When the year went by, I learned that if I was quite I would not learn anything. So I started to talk with other people and watched English movie. My English is getting better, even now I am still learning English everyday with my friends who teach me in the better to speak.
In the past before I came here, I was a person who was lazy and no reponsibility for everything. Five years from that day, when I looked back I saw myself like a child who never grew up. I learn nobody can't help you expect yourself. I am happy that I chose to come here because it make me grow up and became adult.

My immigration experience

I never thought that I will leave my birthplace someday. After graduated from college and following up was unexpected marriage, then I was followed my husband to a total strange country- America.
Grow up in traditional Chinese family, especial raised by my grandmother, I was in a very protective environment. I was always did as I told; be a nice girl without voice. There is a Chinese saying that " children supposed to have ears not mouths", it means children have to keep their opinion inside or have no opinion at all.
At beginning, my nice and weak personality which let people could take advantage of me, after awhile I learned that I had to speak up my mind, had to stand up for myself, and argued with the other. It was a entirely different culture. It took me a long time to adjust myself.
Many years passed by, I fell in love with the sense of freedom, I like to be treated like a adult. Nowadays when people asked if I want to go back to my hometown, I constantly answer them that I like to visit my hometown as a visitor, and enjoy my life here as an individual person.

Immigration (Katsuhito Ote)

As far as traveling is concerned, as a close ally of the United States, it is not difficult for the Japanese people to visit America. The "free pass" does not only apply to our allied nations, including America, but also to almost all countries across the world. In fact we can freely visit foreign countries for three months only with our passports (we do not have to get tourist visas), unless our Foreign Ministry imposes strict restrictions on traveling to a particular area for political or safety reasons. However, Rome was not built in a day. This kind of "convenience" has not been achieved easily. Our ancestors made tremendous efforts to win the world's trust. As their offsprings, we cannot thank them enough. By the same token, our generation needs to keep working hard not to ruin their legacy. We have to keep making substantial contributions to the world.
When it comes to immigration, though, Japan is not an exception. We have to go through exactly the same process as everyone else. In order to stay in America for more than three months, for example, we have to get a visa before we get here. If we want to obtain a green card or citizenship, we also have to go through the entire "mind-boggling" process.
Speaking of our domestic immigration situation, we have several "issues." For instance, we have hundreds of thousands of South and North Koreans and Chinese people who are privileged to enjoy almost exactly the same rights as the Japanese citizens, while they still maintain their citizenship as Koreans and Chinese. They are allowed to live in Japan as long as they like with almost "zero" restriction. While they insist upon their equal "rights," they are often exempted from "obligations" since they are not Japanese citizens. Due to the heightened tensions between the neighboring countries in the Far East, immigration is now becoming a hot issue in my country.

about an immigration experiences of your own or someone.

I have a great experience of being immigrants after i left my country in 2008. i had an first experience when i first landed in hongkong, i was not allowed to go outside the airport because i was an immigrant. i felt so lonely and sad. happiness and sadness are the two factors of every human beings and i exeperienced these two factors mainly practised by immigrants. obviously immigrants have lots of problems because they are the people from different countries and it is real hard to tackle and face with different things of different countries. the first thing i felt is homesickness. almost every immigrants feel that after they left their motherland. i felt like i could not do anything in this new land due to the continuous memory of my home country displayed in my mind. i felt the cultural shock . for example:- i am hindu and majority americans are christians, in my culture we are not allowed to eat the beef because cow is our national animal but it is uncommon in american society. various traditions, beliefs and norms are the factors which bring great differences in new country. language problem is the first major thing which made us like dumb which i felt too due to the different accent in my first days. different rules are to be practised which take long time to learn and real difficult to adopt in the new days, besides this immigration rules are more strict. i want to share my friend exeperience: he was caught by the cops suspecting a criminal because his face was not american and he is from my own country then investigation started, later on cops asked sorry and left him reporting him not involved in any kind of bad things and his record is nice. this made him nervous and effect his psychology. i mean to say that these kind of things also made immigrants so lonely and messed up. besides these things i want to share my experience of being immigrant and international student, it is real hard to survive and study together. this is because we are not given any loans, insurancre, etc. life is real hard for the illegal immigrants in comparision to legal ones. in some contest immigrants are treated as the people from any other plantes. immigrants have to do lots of struggles to adjust in the new country which i am doing too. it is real hard me to maintain my budget and study together. there is a kind of scary thing in my mind if i could not maintain my status in order to stay in the US. there are lots of responsibilities in front of me which made me matured besides many problems. now a days i am thinking if i was in my own country and own home how happy my life would be. we should be happy in what we have and we should keep in the mind we are the people from different country and obviously we will not have same right as the citizen of that country. this made the life more happier of immigrants if we keep this thing in our mind.

My own immigration experience

In Thailand, all persons who plan to travel to the United States to establish permanent residency are required to have a US immigrant visa.

From my experience, it is not difficult for me to get one. I think that the important things that make Thais get a US visa are education background, work experiences from a well known company, and the amount in a bank statement. If you have all of these in good condition, it is not hard to get a visa. However sometimes it depends on your luck too. When you are interviewing for the visa, you have to have a confident to talk about your plan in staying in the United Stated and say something to show that you will absolutely go back to Thailand in the end.

To me, the immigration experience that I faced happened when I started to study ESL program three years ago. My friend and I transferred from an ESL school to a University. We were studying in Master’s Degree class in 4th week then we got an email that we lost our student status. How come? We did not understand how it happened. We found out later that the ESL school did not transfer our names to the University. And even the university where we were accepted, did not have our legal visa status as F-1 Visa status. Both schools never give us any information how the transfer process works.
We did not know that we have to send all documents back and forth between them. We thought that just gave all documents to new school then we are finished.

In the end, we had to pay about $500 to get the student status back. Both schools did not take any responsibility, they concluded that it was our misunderstanding of international students. We cannot do anything about it just pay for it and realize whenever this type of problem happens in the United States it costs a lot of money. :(

Immigration experience

My country is Thailand. We have three neighbour around our country that's Laos, Myanmar and Kampuchea. All of them was like underdeveloped country and they did a lot of problem to my country. The big problem was a foreign national. A population of neighbour country they move to my country to be illegal and make a problem for example problem from a crime,safe,labour and evironment. The important problem is labour because they scramble from population in our country to be unemployed because that wage they want is cheap.Now a government try to stop this problem they set some organize to register illegal for decrease labour problem and out of work .Illigal can work in my country but they must to pay a tax rate same our population.

Immigration Experience from someone I know

When I was young I heard about illegal immigrants in Thailand. A majority of illegal immigrants are from Myanmar, China and South Asia. Most of these immigrants settle as unskilled labor, construction worker, domestic labor, factory employee and even work as helper in rice fields. Thai people are hired because they are willing to accept low wages in Thailand. I know about illegal immigration statistics of Thailand indicate that there are around 525,480 illegal worker present in the country.
My friend family used to hire housekeeper from Myanmar but they do not know she is illegal worker they just think about the low wages.Unitl one day the police came to their house and arrested the housekeeper who illegal entry and arrested my mother friend who hired illegal workers. The housekeeper was deport because she arrived in Thailand without a passport and worked.

Population growth and its consequences.

The annual percent change in the population resulting from a surplus or
(defict) of birth over death and the balance of megrant entering and leaving a country
the rate my be positive or negarive.
The affects of population growth are veried and vast.while population growth,
of any species,may be benificial to a certain extent,there may come time when the number
in the population exceeds the nutural resources available to sustain it.this referred to as
overpopulation.the consequences of such an event are severe and major.
First as the population grows the apportunities for quality,available houssing may become an
in issue.More people crowded into less space chiefly in some countries in Africa and Asia.
In other case,access to food and clean water may become a huge issue so that can result a lot
diseases and famine.More that that population growth can cause joblessness,waste control,
polluttion,violence,health proplems,transportation....
However in other hand population growth has some advantages can be reflected positively on
the society,when you have more people that means more development since we have enough
young people who are effective and active.in addition to that it s the key role of policy,nations experiencing the growth must have sound policies to direct it.Countries that can develop better
health care and medicine,economic plans and social improvements that keep pace with population growth will thrive.

My Experience

Immigration experience
When people emigrate from their country the adaptation processes can be difficult for them. I believe that, the person who has been immigrating once can learn a lot. There are many reasons why immigration is tough for people.
First reason is culture shock. People, tradition, food, service and clothes everything is different. For example, I came to USA four years ago. I bought insurance in my country. It’s travel insurance for one year. When I got sick I went to see a doctor. My insurance didn’t want to cover my medical bills. It was a problem, because the bill was very high. I’ve calling thousand times to my insurance company. The answer was negative. Finally, only one year later I solved this problem. In my point of view, people need to be very carefully with chosen insurance company even they work with in USA.
Second reason, is language issue. I got panic, because I scared to talk with anyone. I thought people don’t understand me and I looked stooped. Unfortunately, I attended one very good language school. All staff and teachers were nice and professionals. They help to get rid of it my fear. After a while I start speaking English and communicate with other people. Step by step I learn lot things. Only now I can say that I really like it live in USA and I’m really enjoying my life

about population

Population growth is very slow because every parent have only one or two chirlden. It is not like a long time ago,they have had alot children in one family.before average in one family have 5 to 10 children even the people live on the city and people live in countryside.

i feel like every country have the same baby boom, because poor people get birth more than riches people.The poor people just stay home and get pregnant all the time, and the rich people they go to work and they don't have time to take care they children that why the proportion of population is slow,and on the other hand,,today alot of young poeple they abortion when they get pregnant. Moreover, it's not crowed than three yeas ago because the earthquakes and floods,and famines took too many people.
In my school they have less students then before,before they have about 40_47 students in one class but today they only have 30_35 students in one class.
And my experience is every family they control birth.

Population and Immigration

During the years population growth so fast. It is influenced by three factors mortality: birth rates or fertility and net immigration. Growth is comming mostly throught immigration . Is the largest factor contributing. Its effect everythings and everyones. Population growth is overcrowding schools, clogging roads, swallowing up open space, taxing the environment and raising the cost of living for all. Its directly responsible for unsustainable demand of resources. The result is increased popullation, deforestation, wast and habitat destruction.

For me population growth and immigration is importan. I am immigrant also to US to study like most people in my age. I think immigration can help us understend more better diffrent culture and meet new friends from all the World. Its good experience for many results.
My many neighbours and friends love learning and sharing between cultures. One my friend is from Ireland. We both from the same continent but we found a lot of differents and opinions about immigration and experience here. He love share with us stores and histories about this country. He showe us many picture from his house. He is open person for people who would love immigrant to his country.
My experience is good here. I met a lot of friends. I feel more freedoms and access to nature and education. Living far away from family is hard but have the chance to try immigrat somewhere is good for experience and find friends.

HW1: Write about it!

The More Crowded, the More Poluted

Were you born and raised in a big city? What is your feeling about your home town now? I would have a lot to tell if somebody asked me such questions.My country is quite small but my city is the biggest one of the country. I remember hanging out with kids in the neighborhood, it was so much fun. We could play soccer, hide and seek, ride the bikes, and do all of the kids things most of the time because it was quite spacious and the environment was so fresh. But now everything changes because there are so many people in the city.

It has been too crowded in my city because people want to come to make a better life. Life seems to be harder and harder. We now have to work very hard to make ends meet, to support our family. Years ago we were very easy to live because life was quite simple. The kids could walk or bike to shool, play around with the neighbor kids with things they could random get to have fun. We did not have to pay much for the tuition and other fees at school also. But now, thank to the technology we have so many devices to satisfy us in our daily life. Our children now need to have cars, or scooters to ride to school; they also want all of the advanced things such as computers, Ipods, cell phones, etc. For the parents, they want the best for their kids so it pushes us working harder to earn money. That is why my city is packed now. Everybody from different parts of the country has been moving to the city to get a better job so they can make more money. I feel uneasy everytime I want to go to somewhere because it is likely to have traffic most of the time. It takes bouble time to get to somewhere compare to the past, and you usually hear the horn from other vehicles. This makes me feel more depressed when you spend all day at work then have to stand that noise on the way home.

Another bad thing we have to live with is polution. There are lots of buildings and factories now in the city that make the air poluted. In the past, we could easy get fresh air when we got out for a walk, then we felt so relaxing. Now we cannot have it anaymore. Dust, smoke, and smell are everywhere. I feel my clothes have tons of dust on when I go outside a few hours, and it smells really bad. It is not surprising when we find more people have lung diseases. Other than that, reseach shows the environment does have the affact on our health, especially it can lead to cancer. Not only is the air poluted, the water is also affected. One time, many places in my city lacked of clean water. We had to pay through the nose to buy it, just clean water. It was because the chemical from the factories makes water in the city contaminated. It took a quite long time for the government to fix the problem.

Those are just two of a number of consequences that overpopulation can lead to. We now trying to build more factories in the countryside and other parts of the country so we have equal population everywhere. I think we, individual, should knowledge and try to make our environment fresher little by little by doing recycling and not throwing rubbish out on the street or river. This will have us avoid diseases that occurs when we do not keep the environment clean.
