I'd like to recommend a film which i watched recently, called Acero Puro/ Real Steel.
It's a 2011 American science fiction and action film starring Hugh Jackman and co-produced and directed by Shawn Levy.
I love the characters of the film. The mai characters are:
-Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton
-Dakota Goyo as Max Kenton
-Evangeline Lilly as Bailey Tallet
-Kevin Durand as Ricky
-Hope Davis as Debra
-James Rebhorn as Marvin
-Anthony Mackies as Finn
-Olga Fonda as Farra Lemkova
-Karl Yune as Tak Mashido
The things I liked most about the film were the robots boxers. Some of the scenes are memorable because they're very strong, but the style and plot are very complex.
The story starts in 2020, human boxers have been replaced by robot boxers. Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) is a former boxer who owns a robot, Ambush, competing in unsanctioned matches and exhibitions whit it. At a rural fair, Ambush is destroyed by Back Thunder, a bull belonging to prometer Ricky (Kevin Durand). Having made a bet that Ambush would win, Charlie now owes Ricki $20,000 , which he doesn't pay before leaving.
All in all, I love this film. It's easy to watch and it's still got a strong message.
This is my favorite start of NBA: Derrick Rose* This is the biography :)
Derrick Martell Rose was born on October 4, 1988 in Chicago, Illinois. Derrick goes by the nickname “Pooh,” which was giving to him by his grandmother based on his resemblance to Winnie-the-Pooh as an infant. Now, Derrick has a tattoo of the words “The Great Poohdini” framing an image of a wizard holding a staff in one hand and a basketball in the other.
Derrick grew up in a neighborhood called Englewood on the southwest side of Chicago. He attended Beasley Academic Center for elementary school. It was on the courts of Beasley where Derrick began to turn heads with his basketball skills that were way beyond his age. From a very young age, Derrick was shielded from trouble by a protective family who knew he had a bright future in basketball.
Derrick played his high school ball at Simeon Career Academy. There, Derrick began making a name for himself throughout the Chicago area and eventually on a national level. He led Simeon to back to back championships, a feat that had never been done before by a public school team in Chicago. In his senior year, Derrick carried his team past then #1 ranked Oak Hill Academy, scoring 29 points, dishing out 9 assists, and grabbing 8 rebounds. It was Oak Hill’s sole loss on the year. For his effort against the nation’s top team, Derrick was named USA Today’s national high school player of the week. However, that was just the first of many honors Derrick would receive that year. After a senior season in which he averaged 25.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 3.4 steals, Derrick was about to get handsomely rewarded.
At the season’s end, Derrick was named Illinois Mr. Basketball, a prestigious award previously won by NBA players Kevin Garnett, Eddy Curry, and Shaun Livingston. That same year he was selected to play for both Team USA in the Nike Summit Game and for the West in the McDonald’s All-American Game. These two tremendous honors proved to be huge successes for Derrick as the USA Junior National Select Team defeated the World Select Team 100-80 and the West took down the East, 114-112. These performances, along with his spectacular high school career, helped make Derrick one of the most well documented and highly coveted players in the nation. He topped many scouts’ lists as the best point guard in the country and was also a consensus top-five recruit among the biggest scouting services.
After high school, Derrick elected to play for Coach John Calipari and the Memphis Tigers. During his freshman year, Derrick was outstanding. He averaged 14.9 points, 4.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals while making 48% of his shots from the floor. His command of the court, defensive prowess, and leadership were key in leading the Tigers to a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Derrick’s draft stock soared throughout the tournament as Memphis advanced all the way to the finals, helped in large part by Derrick’s phenomenal play. The championship game however was a heartbreaker for Derrick and the Tigers as they lost to the University of Kansas in overtime.
Soon after the championship game, Derrick announced his intentions to declare for the NBA Draft. The risk he took by declaring for the NBA Draft after only his freshmen season at Memphis paid off when he was selected #1 by the Chicago Bulls, his hometown team. Derrick is the first point guard to be chosen #1 overall in 12 years since Allen Iverson was picked in 1996.
Despite facing the pressure of living up to the expectations of a #1 draft pick playing for his hometown team, Derrick flourished in his first year in the NBA. He immediately took hold of the starting point guard position for the Bulls, averaging 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds while hitting 47.5% of his shots. His leadership helped lead the Bulls to the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, where he helped extend Chicago to a seven-game series against the defending champion Boston Celtics. In his first playoff game, he led the Bulls to a 105-103 overtime win by scoring 36 points, tying Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most of any NBA player in their playoff debut. In game six, his block on Rajon Rondo in the final seconds of the third overtime helped force a seventh game for the series. Throughout the playoffs, Rose averaged 19.7 points, 6.4 assists and 6.3 rebounds. For his outstanding season, Derrick was named the NBA’s rookie of the year, joining Michael Jordan and Elton Brand as the only Bulls to win the award.
In the 2009-2010 season, Derrick led the Chicago Bulls to their fifth playoff appearance in six years. Unfortunately, Chicago fell in the first round to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but it was a good season nonetheless, for both the Bulls and Derrick. That season, Derrick was elected to his first NBA All-Star game. Derrick became the first Bull to be honored with an All-Star appearance since Michael Jordan in 1998. Derrick played in 78 regular season games and tallied 6.0 APG and 20.8 PPG (solidifying his place as one of the top 15 scorers in the league), and 26.8 PPG in the playoffs. The 2009-2010 season saw Rose and the Bulls continue to grow, which set the stage for an incredibly successful 2010-2011 campaign.
The 2010-2011 season was a historic one for both Derrick and the Bulls. Chicago finished the regular season with the best record in all of the NBA at 62 wins and 20 losses. During the season Derrick started for the Easter Conference All-Stars and managed a career high in ever major statistical category. Derrick played in 81 games averaging 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 25 points per game (7th player in NBA history to average at least 25 points per game). This production, along with Derrick’s leadership on the court led to him becoming the lewague’s youngest MVP in history. Rose acquired 113 first-place MVP votes from a panel of 120. Derrick became the 5th player in NBA history to post 2,000 points in a season and was the only player in the NBA to rank in the top 10 in scoring and assists. Derrick led the Bulls all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the Miami Heat in 5 games. After what was an amazing season for the Bulls and himself, Derrick is looking forward to getting back on the court next season and making another run at a title.

At the office Christmas party,my boss announces the engagement of Jasper Bloom to the other girl, and I deeply hurt. I decide I wanted to get away for the holidays. I put one advertisement on a home swap website of my house in Surrey. One day Amanda contacted with me and we changed the houses. Her house was a modern mansion in Los Angeles. Amanda was working in the world of cinema doing movie trailers and Miles made the soundtracks of the films and movie trailers. I put the clothes into the bags and I went to the airport. I get on the plane and I went to L.A. I took a taxi and I went to Amanda's house. She was a modern big house with a lot of technology. One day I met a fantastic person in L.A, his name was Miles. I talked every day with him and we fall in love. When I I fall in love with Miles my brother, Graham met Amanda in my house and they fall in love too.

Albert and I are friends. Albert live near me here in Banyoles. He lives in an interesting modern house. We go to same school and we're neighbours and I often go to his place.
Albert is fourteen years old. He's quite tall and he's got short brown hair. The good thing about him is that he's funny, frendly and generous. Although he can also be stubborn sometimes, and he isn't always very practical.
Albert is happiest when he's chatting, playing with play station3 and jonking with friends. He likes going out and meeting other people. There is a basketball camp near town and we often go there. He also like playing football and sometimes we play that together.
The highlight of this week's TV was definitely “Piratas del Caribe : Mares misteriosas ”This is a summary of the film: Captain Jack Sparrow is on a quest to find the fabled Fountain of Youth and crosses paths with a former lover, Angelica. She forces Jack aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, a ship captained by the infamous pirate Blackbeard, Angelica's father. Both are also in search for the Fountain; Angelica to save her father's soul, the Spanish to destroy the fountain believing that the powers are an abomination against God, and Blackbeard to escape a prophecy of his fatal demise by a one legged man. Former pirate captain Barbossa, now a privateer in King George II's Navy, is in search of the fountain with Britian, and to exact revenge against Blackbeard for having sunk the Black Pearl and losing his right leg.
I like this great film!(:This is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy58sNSS524
The Simpsons was also worth watching on Neox. In Monday's episode, the family went to Roma, Italy and Bob attempts to killBart. Overall it was a fun and exciting episode.
Finally, something which also caught my eye was a story on Saturday's news on TV3, television of Catalonia. A man killed his partner and went to California to live. This news was horrible.
The first days of my summer holiday I went to Campus Berni Alvarez in Camprodon. I stayed seven days and every day I played basketball. I got up at seven o’clock and at eight o'clock I went to run into the forest. Then I had breakfast and after that I went for training. At one o'clock the train finished and I went for lunch and then I went for training again. At nine o'clock I went for dinner and at ten o'clock I went to a pavilion to do competitions of three vs three .
A week later I went to Campus Jordi Trias in Banyoles which lasted seven days. The campus started at nine o'clock and finished at five o'clock. At half past nine the train started and finished at eleven o'clock. Then I went to swim on lake. At half past one I went to lunch and then I went for training again.
In late summer I went to snt. Antoni de Calonge with my family. I swam on the sea and I sunbathed. I don't like the sea very much... I PREFER THE SWIMMING POOL!
What I like most of the summer is spend every evening with my friends and play football , or swim in the lake, go to the cinema, go to the Parc de la Draga etc..
What I liked the least was to do my summer homework.. BUT I LOVE MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!!...
HiMy name's Albert and I live in Banyoles in Catalonia. I like the area where I live, so i want to improve it.
In my opinion there aren't many cinemas and open spaces in the area. As a result , a lot of people don't go out because there's a lot of noise and traffic.
I think the council should do something about this. I'm sure they must have some land which local people can use park or city garden project.
Dear Sir o MadamI am the captain of the basketball club in Banyoles, Catalonia. The name of the club is The Banyolins. I am writing to you because we are planning a tournament and we are looking for sponsors.

I read a book "Quin Estiu". It was an adventure story about one boy and his friend. In the story the children say some people dressed in black who did something rare in "Les Estunes" and were investigated to know what they did. I liked the book because it was exciting and the characters were interesting.
