Characters/ Actors: James Caan as Paul Sheldon & Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes

Review:

Misery is a suspense film directed by Rob Reiner. The main actors are James Caan as Paul Sheldon and Kathy Bates as Aniie Wilkes who won The Golden Globe. This movie was filmed in The United States in 1990. This movie is based on a Stephen King's novel.

This film is about a writer who is writing a book called "Misery", but one day he has a car accident and he is saved by Annie Wilkes, his fan. She goes crazy and kidnaps him in her mansion, keeping him like a prisoner. He will try to run away from her.

The background music is used very well, it creates an horror atmosphere, and involves the audience into the movie, the music used is gloomy and in my opinion it's right.

The acting is fantastic! Anniel Wilkes is an excellet actress, she made me feel like i was part of the movie. I ended up feeling scared of her. Her acting makes the movie be exceptional and it's hard to forget the character she plays.

In conclusion i enjoyed this film because it is very credible, the actors act so well that on several occasions it gave me panic. I recommend this movie because it's real fear, you won't regret watching it.

Characters/ Actors: Julie Annie Robinson
Review: Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear and Liam Hewsworth.

This movie, directed by Julie Annie Robinson, was released in the U.S.A IN 2010. Its protagonists are Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear and Liam Hewsworth.

It shows the antipathy between a teenager (Miley Cyrus) and her father who had left her to move out from the city. This teenager and her brother have to spend the summer with their father.

This move also shows how during some days, the daughter realizes how much she loves her father and despite being angry at the beginning, she ends up enjoying the summer.

The acting in this movie is particulary important because the characters convey the sadness and the happiness they feel.

The music is consistent with the sad moments because it really touches the audience and generates a tense atmosphere.

As a conclution, this is very moving movies that help us to be aware of what we have and to be grateful to have people loving us.

Friends with benefits

Book/ Film: Friends with benefits
Genre: romantic comedy
Author/ Director: Will Gluck
Characters/ Actors: Justin Timberlake as Dylan; Mila Kunis as Jamie
Review:

'Friends With Benefits’ tells the story of two people who believe that they can be friends without getting in love. Jamie is an executive, and when everything appears to be all right, their friendship turns into something more. And then is when they start to feel trapped by the other person and complicated things start to happen.
Dylan is a typical boy from a little town, a little bit shine but with amazing ideas, and he has also some fears to resolve. And Jamie is a city girl, and she lives life careless and getting worried about nothing.
The main characters are Justin Timberlake as Dylan, and Mila Kunis as Jamie. This couple made a great work in the movie and their main attraction is the sensuality that both have.
The music is amazing and totally according to the rhythm of the movie, which is very dynamic and entertained. It has modern themes as ‘Hey Soul Sister’, and also classics like ‘New York New York’. In my opinion the music of the movie make the viewer feel involved with the plot.
The movie takes place in New York, and incredible city. New York has uncountable beautiful places to appreciate, a lot of things to that make the actors not to stop for a minute. This special detail from the city makes the movie even better and more real.
I loved ‘Friends With Benefits’ because is a really nice romantic comedy film. The movie makes you laugh and cry, and shows a lot of feelings in real life. I recommend it for lovely couples because you’ll have a beautiful time with this original story.

The Walking Dead

- TV Series: The Walking Dead
- Genre: Horror
- Directors: Ernest Dickerson and Gwynet Horder-Payton

- Review: 'The Walking Dead’ (2010) is an American horror TV series which was directed by Ernest Dickerson and Gwynet Horder-Payton, and stars Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal and Sarah Wayne Callies. The series is an adaptation of the comic of Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore.

The series tells the story of Rick Grimes (Lincoln), a policeman who woke up of a coma and found a terrible chaos in his city, which had zombies everywhere. Then, he started to look for his family and he met his friend Shane (Bernthal), who took him to a camp in the outskirts of Atlanta where he reunited with his wife, Lori (Wayne Callies), and his son and knew a lot of another survivors who fought at their side against the ‘Walkers’.

The most fantastic aspects of the movie are the make-up and the clothes, especially in the ‘Walkers’. The make-ups are really amazing and make an excellent characterization of the zombies. The costume design is really good and very important in the series because help to make more realistic the story and the characters. The sets were huge and spectacular.

The performances of the cast were very good. The actors of the series participated in a lot of films and made many appearances in other series before ‘The Walking Dead’ but they weren’t very enowned, in spite of doing an excellent acting.

I think that ‘The Walking Dead’ is one of the best zombie series that I’ve ever seen, so I ecommend it very much. I enjoyed watching this series and I am really excited for watch the
second season.

Life is Beautiful

Life is beatiful

This is an Italiam novie made in 1997 about an Italiam Jewish man named Guido Orefice(played by Roberto Benini who has also directed the movie).He win 50 internationals awards,for example 3 Oscars. It is based in

"in the end, defeat Hittler" the Rubino Romero Salmani an exiting book written by Romeo Saimon. This movie is set in the era of the holocaust and shows how Jewish people suffered. A devoted father invents a story and tells it to his son Josue(Giorgio Contardi) so he doesn´t realize how tough life can be. This whole imagination game saves Josue life from de horror that the holocaust causes.Guido is willing to do whatever its necessary to protect Josue.
The movie shows a sad reality but it leaves a nice message, to see the good side from every situation and never give up. Even when it seems a stupid thing to do, we always have to help each other.
The movie shows clearly how people lived in this era, the structure of the concentration camps, the physical characteristics of the German people, the Jewish’s suffering and the different ways of murder.
This is one of my favorite movies because it has it all, love, history and drama. I really like the feelings it shows.
