Taken 2

I watched a movie called Taken 2 which was sequel for movie taken. It was an action film and I liked it. The movie was pretty much same kind than first taken.
Plot of the movie is protagonist Bryan Mills whos actor is Liiam Nelson killed lot of people in first movie because they had kidnapped his daughter and now father of one of the boys whom Bryan killed wants to revenge. His plan is kill whole Bryan`s family when they are holiday in Istanbul.
Unfortunately, Taken 2 is mostly an empty retread that, despite some high-octane action scenes. If viewer have seen Taken he can guess almost everything what is going to happen in Taken 2. The story is less engaging, character dynamics are less believable, and action set-pieces are less thrilling. If viewer is person who merely want to see Bryan snap necks and crash cars this movie will be good for him.
The expanded roles for both Grace and Janssen who play roles of Bryan`s daughter and ex wife offer a little in the moment to moment enjoyment of the film as the larger family story is often melodramatic and relies heavily on familiar platitudes. In movie there are nothing else than one man`s army who kills every bad people and at the end goes happily home with his family.
After all the movie was huge disappointment and much worse than the first movie.
If you have nothing to do you may watch this once but it will not be good entertainment.

The Red Badge of Courage is a novel written by Stephen Crane (1871-1900). Short parts of the novel were published in newspapers in 1894, but the full version was published in 1895.

The novel’s main theme is theme is courage and heroism of the soldiers in the American Civil War. In the novel the feelings and actions of the soldiers are explained thoroughly. Even though Crane was born after the Civil War, he was able to explain many small details accurately. It’s believed that the battle taking place in the book is based on the Battle of Chancellorsville. The type of language Crane used in his novel is hard to read for people living in the 21st century. For example he uses words that aren’t really used anymore and the accent of the soldiers vary, since the people fighting for the South spoke in a different way than people who lived in the North.

The main character of the story is Henry Fleming, a young Union soldier who against his mother’s will joined to fight in the war. Throughout the book Henry is trying to convince himself that he is a hero and he has the courage to fight. Wilson, together with Henry they both gain the reputation as the best fighters of their regiment. Jim Conklin, Henry’s friend who dies in the early part of the novel, this affects Henry until the end of the novel. The lieutenant, he is a young commander, who swears a lot during the battles. He and Henry try to motivate the men during rough times.

The novel starts with Henry wanting to join the Union army, his mother is against it but Henry doesn’t obey his mother. Henry has ideals about the war and how the battles go, but when it finally comes to the moment of battle he is shocked. It’s nothing what he thought it would be like. Henry struggles with the idea that maybe he is not a hero after all. But as the story goes on Henry matures a lot and is able to be satisfied with himself.

Reaper Man

Reaper Man is a fantasy novel written by Terry Pratchett who is an English author. He writes mostly comical fantasy novels. He is best known of the Discworld series (about 40 book) and the novel Reaper Man is the eleventh book in the Discworld series. It was published in 1991.

Book begins when Death has retired. Or, rather, has been retired. Reason WHY is that he has become too much of a character. He has gotten his own hourglass, his own time and at the end of it he will die. But Death seems to be happy, he finally has his own time and now he is going to waste it.

Death starts working at the old ladys farm. Same time all over the discworld, everyone and everything suddently stops dying. Book follows charecter named Windle Poons, an old wizard who was meant to die but that seems to be a bit hard when the Death isn’t around. He tries to find out the way to die as the same time the whole town of Ankh-Morpork is in chaos.

Book is rather less satisfying than other Pratchetts works, but is largely rescued by Windle Poons. I never much cared for him before he died, but the zombie Windle Poons is hilarious and can carry the entire book while rest of the charecter, except the Death, are easy to forget and impersonal. Death has very philosophical part in the book. Novel has the great Pratchett property that, even if the plot doesn’t always work, there will be some great lines or discovered references that will put a smile on your face.

Language of the book was quite hard to me read. I needed dictionary many time. Propably hardest was to understand the words that Pratchett had made by himself by twisting english and the sentences were also very long: “Studies have shown that an ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.” It was very nice that Pratchett had highlighted Deaths speech: “Picture a tall, dark figure, surrounded by cornfields…
NO, YOU CAN’T RIDE A CAT. WHO EVER HEARD OF THE DEATH OF RATS RIDING A CAT? THE DEATH OF RATS WOULD RIDE SOME KIND OF DOG.
Picture more fields, a great horizon-spanning network of fields, rolling in gentle waves…
DON’T ASK ME I DON’T KNOW. SOME KIND OF TERRIER, MAYBE.
…fields of corn, alive, whispering in the breeze…
RIGHT, AND THE DEATH OF FLEAS CAN RIDE IT TOO. THAT WAY YOU KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.
…awaiting the clockwork of the seasons.
METAPHORICALLY.” Thanks to that it was a bit easier to stay focused on the text and not to wonder WHO said WHAT.

I would recommend this book to all who likes crazy humor, funny charecters and discworld series. Yet this isn’t maybe the book to start if you have not ever before read Trerry Pratchets Discworld production.

A Shocking Accident

A Shocking Accident is a short story written by Grahman Greene. It tells of one young men, called Jerome whose father died in a accident. Jerome was just a nine when it happened. He was at school when the headmaster, Mr Wordsworth invited him to her office. Jerome had no fear of trouble. Mr Wordsworth told that Jerome’s aunt has called her that Jerome’s father had been an accident. It was a bad accident. His father had died in Naples when he was walking at street and a pig fell on him from the balconie. After that Jerome rehearsed how to tell the story of his father’s dead. He was afraid that everone would laugh at him. He got engaged with a girl named Sally, but he hadn’t told to her how his father had died. How would he tell for Sally that story without her starting to laugh? However one day Sally heard how Jerome’s father died, but she didn’t laugh at all.

The main charecter is Jerome. His father was so important to Jerome and he worshipped him. Mr Wordsworth is a headmaster at Jerome’s school. He told bad news to Jerome. According to dialogue it was easy for Mr Wordsworth to tell bad news to Jerome. He almost started laughing. Jerome answered to him ”What happened to the pig?” So he didn’t take his fathers death so tragicly. At least he didn’t show any signs of sadness during dialogue. Jerome’s aunt had no sense of humour. His aunt told an accident to headmaster and Jerome’s fiancee. Sally, Jerome’s fiancee was twentyfive years old and her father was a doctor.

Jerome created two different ways how to tell his fathers death at school without everyone laughing. ”My father was killed by a pig”, was a shorter method. Other method was a little bit longer, he would explain that accident more.

Sally’s final commet is important, because Jerome had worried all the time if Sally will laugh. But she didn’t laugh. She only wondered ”What happened to the poor pig?”. That was the same question that Jerome asked from the headmaster when he heard about the accident. But what really happened to the pig? Jerome said that ”They almost certainly had it for dinner”. I also think that they ate it.

I think that this story was really wierd. When I read it, I thought ”What, he was killed by a pig?! Did I read right?” But it was a good story when I realized it.

He is also ordered to investigate his own wife and that’s when he has to choose where his heart truly lies. Leo feels like his every belief is shattered and doesn’t know where to go or what to do. Still he doesn’t want to stop investigating the serial murder’s backgrounds and motives. Leo is exiled from his home and starts to wander around the Soviet Union with his wife Raisa.

The Big Bang Theory is an American comedie series. It tells about two physicists, Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, and their friends who are also geeks except Penny, their good-looking neighbour. Supernatural is a horror and kind of drama series, in which the Winchester´s brothers Dean and Sam are fighting against demons and other paranormal creatures.

The story:

Sheldon and his friends Leonard, Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrappali are eating Chinese fast food at Sheldon and Leonard´s apartment like every Tuesday night. An interesting conversation is going on:

Sheldon: Did you know that the original recept of 7 Up included Lithium because its effect which levels down the changes of the emotions…

Penny rushes in and interrupts: Hi guys, sorry I´m late, where´s my meal? Oh thank you Leonard. Have you noticed that there´s some kind of living creature in one of the washing machines? It´s really creepy.

Also Amy Farrah Fowler and Bernadette Rostenkowski Wolowitz join the group, while they have come to see Penny. Bernadette is Howard´s wife and Amy Sheldon´s girlfriend -believe it or not. Bernadette: Yeah, it´s noisy, we heard it, too. What could it be?

Penny: I don´t know. I didn´t have enough courage to open the machine and check it out…

Leonard: Well, I could open it.

Rajesh whispers something to Howard, because he can´t spek when there are women in the room. Howard laughs and says to Leonard: There´s our knight with his white horse coming to save his princess! Leonard glares at Howard and Rajesh.

Sheldon: It´s possible that you have imagined the whole thing. I always wash my clothes in the same laundry and I have never heard anything unusual. 

Amy: But I was there and heard that too though I´m a neurobiologist. I don´t imagine things. Sheldon: You´re a neurobiologist but that´s not an excuse you couldn´t go nuts.

Rajesh whispers something to Howard again. Howard: Rajesh is scared. He thinks that it can be a ghost. (giggeling)

Leonard: Let´s go and see what´s going on. And the whole group gathers in the laundry.

Neither Leonard, Rajesh or Howard venture to open the washing machine to see inside of it, because the creature clanks and clatters the machine every once in a while. Sheldon tries. He reaches slowly the washing machine and knocks three times: Knock, knock, knock, who is there? And then the creature makes a noise: Knock. Knock. Knock…

Sheldon goes in panic and shouts: It can´t be impossible, it exists!

Howard: Maybe we should call to these Winchester brothers, you know, these men from television? If it really is a ghost… Howard gets the honour to call them, of course, because it was his idea.

A while

Dean and Sam arrive. Sam: Are we in the right place? Someone called us because of some kind of demon. Howard: Yes, this is the place.

The creature makes a horrible noise and Amy says: Oh no, this is like in Hell! Dean: You have no idea. I have been there.

Sam: Back in business. Let´s face it! Dean and Sam surround the machine with salt and also make a pentagramm to the roof above it. Then the demon can´t escape. Sheldon explains that it wouldn´t work but nobody listens. Penny falls in love with Dean right away and she tries to attract his attention every moment when it´s possible. When the brothers are ready, Sam reads some magical sentences from their father´s book. Right after that Dean opens the machine.

Dean: What!?! Just an ordinary mouse!?!

Sam: Really? Did we come here for nothing? You guys, you haven´t even opened it, didn´t you? We´re not pestscontrolers!

Penny: But if you´re tired because you´ve drived the whole way here, you can stay a night at my apartment. You can take care of me, I have been so scared…

Dean: Frankly my dear, I don´t give a damn.

The End
