HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Bobbie, on "Jimmy"...

Hey!! It's Bobbie! Like last year I like languages, spanish and english but I prefer english, it's obvious!

I'm going to introduce you to a quite unknown song, it is named "Jimmy" from the group Moriarty (I know it's the same name as the bad guy in Sherlock Holmes ^^)

The song is about a person who tells to Jimmy, to come home on the buffaloland to be with his family, his cousin, his aunt and his grandpa who is still gone daft. His name is Jimmy and it will always be Jimmy, it will never change.. .

He has to be proud of his name, and not forget that he is young and he can't ignore the buffalo's song, a song for him, for his coming back to his family.
 

Bobbie singing Jimmy by  lacsapnitram

I really love this song, because I sang it the fourteenth of July 2012 for my brother's wedding,.

I chose to sing this song because three years ago aproximatly he decided to live in America, in New York. When he was there he gave  my mother and I the title of this song, and since this discovery, every time we listen to this music we think of him. T

that's why I sang it and I love it.  


(and once again a wonderful video job by Mr Martin!)

 

GAME! GAME! GAME!

Who? Where? When? What?

As usual, the first one to give the right answer in the comments will win an amazing (no kidding!) prize!!!

Somethingintheway, on American History X...

Hello everybody!! I am Somethingintheway, I’m 18, I’m a boarder at the high school.

I have two little sisters that I don’t really like.

In my spare time I listen to (many) music , I read many books too , and I’m a  fireman volunteer .

 So now the presentation of myself is finished, I will present  you a movie which is cult for me, and this movie is American history X.

This movie was released in 1998 and was directed by Tony Kaye.

American history X is the story of two brothers Derk and Daniel who live in Venice beach in California.

After the death of their fathers  who was a fireman killed by a black dealer while he tried to tame a fire , Derek becomes a neonazi skinhead.

 One night Derek kills two black guys who had come to steal his car.

He is afterwards condemned to 3 yearsof prison for murder.

Danny finds himself influenced by the ideology of his brother , but Derek is released  from prison and  was radically transformed by his confinement,  he will try to prevent his brother from following the same way as him.

This movie is a tragic film which teaches the respect of the others even if they are different .

 If you never saw this film I advise you to Watch it, it’s a beautiful movie even if it is sad .

Blackman, on Scarface...

Hey, it's me, Blackman. I'm still on the blog since last year, so I'm sure you remember me!

I chose as a personal cult film "Scarface". It's an American film produced by Brian de Palma in 1983.
The main actors in this movie are Al Pacino (playing Tony Montana) and his best friend "Manny" (played by Steven Bauer).

 

At the beginning, Tony and his friend were expelled from Cuba so they decided to go to Miami to earn a lot of money.

For them, the American dream is to make a lot of money unlawfully as soon as possible.

 

To acjieve his goal, Tony will kill, sell drugs, launder money and trade weapons.

 

At the end, he will be rich but less intelligent and more nervous because of the drugs that he uses. And he will kill his best friend before being killed by the police.

BlueTiara, on Great Expectations...

Hello everyone! My name is BlueTiara! Well, it's not exactly my real name, but I guess you got that!

So, I'm sixteen, I was born in French Polynesia, more precisely, in Tahiti and I have two beautiful brothers (girls, if you are interested …).

I like to watch movies, to read (all types of books) to go to karaoke, to listen to all kind of music and to travel.

What else? I love to study languages and I would like to become an interpret in national organizations.

My favourite movie is The Full Monty, it takes place in the 80's and it's about a group of workers in the steel industry who lost their jobs and decide to do stripping to earn money.

It was released in 1997.

It is so funny and moving, I love it …

Besides, Robert Carlyle is the main actor and I'm a huge fan!

My favourite cult book is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, which was written during the XIXth century.

I liked it because it describes well the atmosphere of London during the period I prefer.

Well, I guess I shouldn't say more, we are not supposed to tell our whole life story!

I hope we will spend an unforgettable year!!

K-Za, on Grey's Anatomy...

Grey's Anatomy is an American medical drama televison created by Shonda Rimes.

Grey's Anatomy is one of series what I like. 

I like all characters; Meredith, Derek, Lexie, Mark, Cristina, Owen, Richard etc..., who work in the Seattle Grace hospital (now the Grey-Sloane Memorial Hospital... I'm a fan too!  Mrs P.)

We follow their privacy over the seasons.

I like the story, because there is much love, friendship, sadness, humor, action, etc.

Meredith is the principal actress because the characters are linked more or less to her.

I always want  to know what's next.

There are often characters who arrive and others who leave or die over seasons.

I saw episodes until season nine which was broadcast on French television, on channel 1.

There are 10 seasons .

In each season, the viewer is affected; there is something powerful that happens, as a hostage taking, a plane crash etc.

It focuses on characters, and I like that.

And you , do you love  Grey’s Anatomy ?

Fafa, on Back to the Future...

I'm going to speak about one of my favourite film  Back To The Future.

This film is about  a young man Marty Mcfly who lived a normal life with a normal family, with a normal girlfriend.

He is  Dr Emmett Brown's friend, who everybody calls  Doc.

Doc is a scientist, he has built a time machine for travelling in time.

During the film, we see the travel  of Marty, he musn't change anything in the future because it can be made a paradox.

        I think it is the best film for me because the travel in time is very interesting, it shows what consequences could happen if we changed something.

 

It's a very funny film.

        I think everybody knows Back To The Future but some people who didn't know asked Mrs P. to watch it and then may be you will play in a parody of Back To The Future!!!

 

 

 

 

Lala, on Titanic...

I will talk about me, my name is Lala.
I am 17 years old. I live in Bourges and I am student in our high school.
My origins  are algerian and Turkish.
I am generous and frank but I am also very nervous and finicky.

I like listening tomusic, going downtown with my friends for shopping.

Every week, I enjoy going to the cinema to watch the horrors films but I hate reading  books.

My phobia is worms.

 

            I chose Titanic because I love this cult film.

 

 

Titanic is a disaster movie written, directed and producted by James Cameron. It is based on true events. The film was released in 1997.

 

It told the story of two characters from the ship.

Rose, a first class passenger who attemps suicide to free the constraints imposed by her entourage and Jack, a vagabond who boarded at the last minute to return to the United States.

Thereafter they live a love story.

The film is one of the most successful in film story and it is the biggest worldwide box office success.

I love this film because it is a love story but it is an impossible love. Alsor, some feelings are mixed in this film; fear, love, betrayal, and sadness.

This movie touched me because it is a true story and it ends tragically  and I love it.

Nomika on 30 seconds to Mars...

Hello everyone ! I'm a 17 year-old girl and I enjoy many things like reading, watching TV series or listening to all kinds of music (and singing – now you know why it's raining sometimes).

 

In this article, we had to present a personal cult thing for us.

I can't define what « cult » is exactly but here, it will be something I really like.

So for my part, I'm going to talk about one of my favourite's music band of all time, which is 30 Seconds To Mars.

 

 

 

This alternative rock band was formed in 1998 by Jared Leto and his brother Shannon, who were used to make music together since their childhood.

 They were joined by two other musicians for a few years but both have quit the band.

 Now and since 2003, the third member who's playing the solo guitar is Tomo Milicevic (I don't know how to pronounce it but it doesn't matter).

        Up to now, 4 albums were released but the band knew its first big success when the second album called « A Beautiful Lie » came out in 2007.

 

Here is the eponymous song and clip of the album (the song starts at 1:20) :

 

 

 

Well I hope some of you will like this band ! (:

 

Littlebeefly, on Avatar...

Hello everybody ! I'm Littlebeefly !  I'm 18.

I like reading books and comics, draw comics too, watching movies (mostly comedies), animals, nature and English of course !

 

I'm nice but be careful, I can sting you ! LOL:D

 

 

 

 

 I would like to present you a film. In the first weeks  of September, we worked on a theme : « Cult Movies. »

The film that I would like to talk about is, for me a cult movie.

 

This film is called « Avatar ». It's a Science-fiction movie, created by James Cameroun famous for his movie Titanic in 1997.

 

 

 

Avatar tells the story of Jake  Sully (played by Sam Worthington), who goes in an  Unknow Planet called Pandora.
In this planet live Na'vis, beings  with blue skin and yellow eyes who like very much Felines.
Jake Sully works for the RDA, and he was sent to explore Pandora and learn the customs of Na'Vis.

This man learn sall of customs, habits and language of the clan of Omaticayas (a clan of Na'vis).
He became a good warrior and fall in love with Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldana).
But the RDA comes and destroys the habitat of the Omaticayas, and the war was declared.

Jake must to gain the trust of indigenous people, and fight against the RDA.

In the end, the Leader of the RDA is dead, the Na'vis are free, and Jake became a real Na'vi forever.

 

« Wait a minute ! I don't see what is the relationship between Avatar and Cult films », you tell me.

 

Patience !

 

            Avatar is definitely a Cult Movie, because  first, it's one of the most seen movies in all the World.

Secondly, it's a success, and many people like it very much !

Fans of Avatar participate in conventions, dress up in Na'vis, recite quotes  or learn the Na'vis Language !

 

 

So, you know how I can say Avatar is a Cult Movie in my point of view.

 

 

That's all for today. I hope my article about this Cult Movie pleased you.

I think you 'll read a other article of me soon, another day.

See you soon:)

Rider, on The Horse Whisperer...

I'm Rider. I live in Saint Germain Du Puy. I'm 16 years old. I enjoy horse-riding , it's my passion.


For my future, I would like to become an English teacher , because I love english and this country.

 

 

 

I want to present you the film " The Horse Whisperer". Here is a summary :  Redford plays the title role, a talented trainer with a remarkable gift for understanding horses, who is hired to help an injured teenager

(played by Scarlett Johansson )  and her horse back to health following a tragic accident.

It' s a very strong story between a girl and a horse who are  going to cross many obstacles.


It's not my favorite film but this movie has touched me very much.

 

 

This movie is very strong in emotion fort the enthusiasts of horse-riding. Because, for exemple, it has been 13 years since
I'm fascinated by this sport and a story like this one connected with a horse can make  me  dream.

 

I would like to share my passion by advising to watch  this film, because, in the first place, it is rich in emotion,

secondly, this film is simple and touching to watch.


I had to see it about twenty times, but I know that I would not grow tired of it...

 

 

YMCMB on a film

Hello everyone ! My name is Garance (but here call me YMCMB , it is coolest !!), I'm 17 years old (18 in february, I'll be an adult !) and I'm in the final year of high school.

 

 I'll talk to you about my favorite movie which is in my opinion a cult film.

 

It's "500 days of Summer" ("500 jours ensemble" in french.) 

So that's the story between a young man (Tom) and a woman (Summer), very different from each other. 

But beware, this isn't a love story (as stated in the voiceover). 

This is the story of their lives, how they  met and how their Relationship progressed. 

For me, it is cult because it is different from other romances,  the ending makes us understand the moral destiny, that much can make us think about our future, and make us understand that we must enjoy every moment with our friends, the person you love or the family (and for once he's not an ordinary love story where the two protagonists are a couple at the end!).

Can also be easily identified in one of the two characters :

-The young man, rather shy, madly in love with the girl (and shows it!)

- Or the young girl quite cold, reluctant to be in a relationship with him.

In short, basically, this is not a love story with a good ending, but that makes the film interesting! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You guessed it, I like movies that have a surprising ending, which we did not expect. 

Besides, my favorite TV series is Pretty Little Liars,which is very  successful in the United States but is still little known in France. 

A  mysterious series about the secrets of group of friends, composed of five girls, one of which is assumed dead.

But unlike the film and the series, my favorite actor is Zac Efron, not only for its beauty, but also for his acting talent, one of his films also participated in the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 (The Paperboy). 

As a leading actor for Disney, he was able to get away with a great talent.

For music, I'm very open, I listen to EVERYTHING. But I focus primarily on Reggae, Dub, Electro, Rock, and some rap US music.

I hope you enjoyed my article, and do not forget to share your tastes!

Brainbow...

Hi Everyone! I'm Brainbow (A mix between Brain and Rainbow) The girl who has some color into her hair.

 

I chose to present my favorite fantasy saga :Rachel Morgan series, written by Kim Harrison, an American author.

New York Times Bestseller, the French edition has stopped and if one day you fall in love with this series must be read in English (it should not bedispleasing to our teachers!)  Indeed... Mrs P.

  This is the story of a failed genetic manipulation, a deadly virus has spread and decimated half the inhabitants of the earth.  Responsible for this transmition?

Tomatoes.  Transgenic tomatoes.

 Supernatural populations are then emerged from the shadows (or their coffins ...).

This period is called The Turn.

40 years later, our heroine leads a hectic life. And quite mad.

A redhead and sexy witch has to fight all kinds of enemies: demons, vampires, elves, weres, pixies,wizards and witches practicing black magic, and especially his own taste of danger.

Really not a restful life, but it makes a great story!

The most important is that it's not silliness like "Twilight" or other bad fantasy books, it does not apply to prepubescent teenager. And vampires are more attractive here.

It is well written, it's funny, it lacks the zombies to be perfect!

Forest, on The Walking Dead...

Hello every body,

I'm Forest, and I'm sixteen. Physically, I'm tall (1.78m), I have brown hair and black eyes.

I practise Horse ridding every saturday, I play the guitar and play with my animals.

My passion is dalmatians and protection of many animals in the world.

I would like to present you a horror series which I love : THE WALKING DEAD.

It's the story about a group of surviving people after an epidemic which contaminated almost all of world's population.

Rick Grimes is the leader of this group where we can find around 15 people.

He lost his wife when she was delivering their baby and we can see his differents adventure with the new world made of violence, blood & cannibalism.

If you like horror series, it's made just for you !

I give you a funny glimpse (it's not the reality)  : 

 

 

 

See you later,

Camka, on Harry Potter...

Hi, I’m Camka, I’m new on the blog ! I’m 17 and I’m in the last class of high school.

   Today, I would present a cult film entitled Harry Potter and the Pilosopher's stone.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone (in French: at the Wizards' school) is the first full-length film of the saga of Harry Potter, it was directed by Chris Colombus in 2001.

 This film is the story of one boy called Harry Potter, whose parents were killed by Voldemort when he was a child.

So, he was raised by his aunt and his uncle who dislike him . 

On his 11th birthday  was contact by Poudlard, the school of the wizards, and he learnt that he was a wizard and that thanks to him Voldemort is powerless. He makes his first year at the school of wizard and he is going to try to clarify the mystery of the philosopher's stone, helped by his friends, Ron and Hermione.

   I think that this movie is cult because many person imitate Harry Potter with his scar on the forehead in form of flashing.

Many conventions are planned, for example the 24 november, this one will be in Paris:

 

Many actors of the movie will be present. The fans of harry potter know perfectly the sentences of the film and dress like Harry and Hermione. Children play with magic wand and brooms.

  See you soon for more article, bye, Camka.

 

 

I don't understand those people who get dressed like HP characters, I really don't!^^   Mrs P.
