Why, honey?

The short story ”Why, honey” by Raymond Carver was a story about a mother
and her son, and the son didn’t have a father in the text. The son had been
strange pretty much all his life, especially his teen age.  The boy had
been lying about everything and after the son bought a shotgun and knife
mum freaked out.

After mum found t-shirt full of blood she got enough and moved away and
changed her adress, name and phone number and pretty much everything.
Mum saw her boy gaining land on politics and achieving thing in his life
and big letters in magazines tellimg about it. She thought that she should
be the proudest mother in the country but no, she’s only afraid. She saw a
man staring at her from a car and ran to her house and locked doors. She
thinks she is under spying but there no really evidence.

I think the mother is writing to her son. Its pretty obivous because as the
mother said ” if you have resources it is easy to find someone” and thats
prety much what is happening. Boy hated mums spying. Now the boy is spying
on his mom.
I don’t think the book as realiable one. Mum couldn’t trust his son but
then she is telling story of her life to anonymous person.

Full Stop

Full Stop is a novel written by Alecia McKenzie. The novel consists of different letters, which are written by the main character Carmen and her grandma Scottie. Carmen’s grandma Scottie is very religious and old-fashioned pensioner. She always praises God and prays for Carmen’s best. Carmen usually sends back some money, which Scottie uses mostly in things that they are not meant to be use. Scottie writes many times in her letters that ”say hello to hubby” or ”kiss hubby for me”. Carmen’s hubby is Norman, who isn’t really a remarkable character in this novel.

One of the possible main characters is Carmen’s mother, who Carmen haven’t seen but once in her lifetime. Carmen’s mother lives in London. Carmen’s father had been killed in a construction yard when Carmen and her brother Richie were six years old. Now Carmen’s mother wants to pay a visit in New York for a operation, where Carmen lives and wants to have a little chitchat. Carmen finds out all the things about her childhood and why Scottie was her foster mother. Scottie had of course told different story. When Scottie heard about Carmen’s revelations, she decided to use the money to burglar bars, what for Carmen had sent the money.

A shocking Accident

Graham Greene’s novel called ”A Shocking Accident” tells a story about a student boy, Jerome, who hears bad news from his housemaster. His housemaster, Mr Wordsworth, let him know that his father has been in a street accident, in Naples. In the first part of the novel, Mr Wordsworth says that the accident was really serious, and to be exact, Jerome’s father had died yesterday. Jerome don’t react normally to that kind of news, instead of a huge sorrow and sadness Jerome is extremely calm. Jerome assumes that his father died by a hit of a bullet, but he is wrong. Mr Wordsworth tells that Jerome’s father died because a pig fell on him. Jerome’s father was walking along a street in Nepal, when suddenly the pig fell from a balcony.

In the second part of novel, the storyteller describes the character of Jerome: he is not a crybaby, he is a person who keeps his feelings inside his head. When Jerome tells about this mysterious story to his best friend, his schoolmates give a nickname to Jerome, ”Pig”. Jerome’s aunt is very sad about her brother’s death and tells every kind of heroic stories about him, to everyone.

The time goes by, and Jerome finds a girl, Sally, and they became engaged to married. Now, when Jerome is going to be a father by himself, he realizes how much he misses his own father. Jerome tells falsely to Sally, what happened to his father. Jerome didn’t want to take Sally to see his aunt, but it happens right before the wedding. Sally hears the thruth of the accident and is horrified. Jerome, instead, is happy about Sally’s reaction: he has been scared all the time that Sally would have laughed to the real, truthful story, and stopped loving Jerome. Jerome realizes that Sally really loves him and the story has a happy ending. In my point of view, the short story teaches that if somebody honestly cares about you, she or he will love you no matter what.

Characters

Chelios is little bit unstable hitman with rough childhood and problems to
control his anger. Perfect fighter and killing manchine so I don’t really
wonder that he managed to survive.

Camerawork/ soundeffects
Camera man really did know his job so I am satisfied with the camerawork.
Soundeffects did their job too just the way they should be doing. Musics
were good and also sound of dying people and explosions.

Special effects

Special effects were so good that I sometimes thought that I am in the
movie. It was really fabulous.

James Bond: The World Is Not Enough

The film is made in 1999. I watched this movie last monday as it came from the TV and it was really good. I?ve seen it before though, but most James Bond -films get better and better when you watch them again. The first time I saw it was probably when I was 10 years old, in 2005. My favourite actor of the films is Pierce Brosnan, but I like Sean Connery too.
The plot of the movie goes like this:
The story begins as James Bond is sent to retrieve Sir Robert Kings money from a Swiss banker. Bond gets the money and returns to MI6 headquarters. There the money is retrieved to King, but as King goes to get his money from the safe they are held in, his pin on his chest explodes and burns all of the money. Bond gets after the assassin which tries to escapes by boat but crashes on the shore and gets into hot air balloon. Bond hangs on the rope, which is hanging from the balloon and offers the assassin protection. Assassin refuses Bonds offer and blows the balloon with herself in it. After that James Bond is assigned to protect Elektra King from a dangerous terrorist named Renard. Renard has taken a bullet to his brain when one other agent from MI6 tried to take him down on a previous mission. Renard survived, but the bullet in his brain has weakened his senses so much that he doesn?t feel pain. Bond goes after Renard in Kazakhstan all alone and meets american nuclear physicist Christmas Jones. What a funny name! James Bond and Christmas. After they get make it back to MI6 headquarters, they discover that Renard has a nuclear submarine. Finally they get to the submarine and wipes Renard out and the submarine explodes underwater.
I think the camerawork and the special effects were amazing and very successful. The film is an action film but it has elements of detective story. I love the soundtrack of all the movies but I think the best soundtrack in the series is in Golden Eye.

Saija lehtonen plays a woman who is a strong, independent woman but who still believes blindly in love. Kari-Pekka Toivonen plays a man who is out of the picture for the most part. In movie he is busy, palyer and serios. Kristiina Elstelä play Joels mom Lea and she is a strong-willed mom and who doesn`t accept any nonsense from anyone. Together they have created a brilliant humour and drama.
Saija Lentonen is born in 1977 and she is Finnish actress. She has played role in Headhunters and Salatut elämät, too.
Kari-Pekka Toivonen is born in 1967 and he has a wife and four kids. She has played role in Nousukausi and Rock`n Roll Never Dies.
Kristiina Elstelä is born in 1943 and she is Finnish film actor and theater actor. She has been played in many movie and tv program. I think that she is a great actor and i have seen many movie and program where she has been.
I recommed the movie for every woman, because it is fun, lovely and absolutely awesome! but it is not good movie for men becouse it is too emotional.

Step up 4 revolution

I was in the movies watching Step up 4 revolution. I have seen all four Step up movies and liked them all. I think this movie didn`t make a lot of difference compared to the others but still it had it`s own story. Step up movies are all dance movies there is a lot of acting but it also involves many dance performances.

The plot in this movie was about how this girl named Emily wanted to become a dancer but her father didn`t accept it. Then Emily found out about a dance crew called The Mob wich she wanted to join in. The Mob wanted to infect to different things by doing dance shows in a places they weren`t allowed to go. Emily met this guy called Sean who is the leader of The Mob and they fell in love. Emily`s father is a rich house builder and he is going to build hotels to a places where many dancers from The Mob live. That is when The Mob including Emily, starts a riot against Emily`s father and his company. In the end everything went fine because Emily`s father didn`t build anything to the places where Emily`s friends live in.

The main charachters were Emily and Sean. Emily was from a rich family and had chances for a good education unlike Sean whose life was totally the opposite. The movie was a 3D so it had a very powerfull effects. Specially all the dance scenes looked awesome in 3D.

I also liked the music that was played in the performances. It was energetic and it suited all the dances. The places where the movie scenes where filmed were outstanding. They had used the lightings and the whole environment in a creative way.

All in all I think that the movie was worth watching.

Sex And The City (1998-2004)

Sex And The City (so-called S.A.T.C.) is television series that bases on writer Candace Bushnell’s book of the same name and was originally aired at first time on 6th of July 1998 by HBO. S.A.T.C. is filmed by single camera set-up and it’s created by Darren Star. There is also two soundtrack-albums from Irma Records that are made for especially this television series and which contain tracks from various artists. Sex And The City represents blue comedy and romantic-dramedy at its best – The television series gained an explosive popularity, and overall six seasons (94 episodes) was produced.
S.A.T.C.’s main character, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), writes a column, in which she ponders questions about herself, relationships, the differences between men and women, and life in general. S.A.T.C. is also narrated by Carrie and it is located to New Jersey, France and as you might guess, mainly in the New York City. There are also three close friends of Carrie’s who have a key role in S.A.T.C.: Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) – three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties. In every episode, Carrie writes her column and makes the philosophical questions, that pop into her mind. The television series got a lot of attention because it deals with things that we do not dare to speak out loud. When you follow the series, you can see how their lives go forward and how their lives move on little by little.
Four single female New Yorkers took place in the hearts of women all over the world. Many were disappointed when it was announced on 2004 that the Sex And The City would not be produced anymore. Four years later, in May 2008 the television series was continued in the form of a movie, and after that also a second part of movie was released. In my opinion, the most memorable phrase Carrie says is at the end of the last season: “Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”
