WEEK 1

Yesterday I watched the movie "The Proposal." This is one of my favorite movies because my favorite actress is in this movie Sandra Bullock (Margaret Tate) and also Ryan Reynolds (Andrew Paxton). The movie is about a couple that was not supposed to fall in love. The boss of this book publishing company, Margaret Tate forces her assistant Andrew Paxton to marry her because she has an expired visa and will be deported to her natal country, Canada. Andrew agrees in this deal because he will be promoted as an editor. The government investigates that they are not marrying because of this reason. They are forced to go visit Andrews family in Alaska for the weekend and they announce their marriage, the family proposes that they should marry that same weekend that the family is all gathered together because of Grandma Annies 90 birthday, they accept the proposition. The wedding day comes and Margaret realizes she cannot do this to Andrew's family because of all the love they have for him and she has forgotten what it was to have a family that loves you. She accept in front of everyone what she has done and is taken back to New York and has only 24 hours to return to Canada. Andrew realizes that he is wifeless and had really fallen in love with Margaret and returns to New York to look for her and tell her that he loves her. (241 words)

WEEK 2

During this week I watched The Parent Trap which is an old movie but my favorite one. The main characters are Annie James and Hallie Parker acted by Lindsay Lohan and their parents Nick Parker and Elizabeth James. Annie and Hallie are two identical twins that when they were born their parents separated, Annie went to live with her mom in London and Hallie with her dad to Napa, California and they have never seen each other since then. Eleven years later they were both sent to a summer camp by a complete coincidence and none of them know they have a twin sister, because of their bad behavior they are both sent to the "isolation cabin" where little by little they start to uncover they similarities and that Hallie has never met her mom and Annie her dad. After all these things they both realize they are twins. Hallie comes up with this brilliant idea that since they are identical they could change places that Annie goes to Napa with her dad and Hallie to London with her mom and that someday their parents will discover this and will have to meet again face to face. During the rest of the camp they both teach each other how to be like the other one. When the summer camp ends they do as planned. Hallie goes to London and is very happy for metting her mom for the first time and getting to be with her all the time, on the other hand Annie goes to Napa with her dad and finds out her dad is in love with this hateful woman Meredith Blake. Annie calls her sister to tell her about all that is happening and these two girls to everything even the impossible to ruin this love. They meet up again at a Hotel in San Francisco and these two girls make Meredith's life impossible. At the end Elizabeth and Nick fall in love again and live as a happy family.(333 words)

WEEK 8

A few days ago I went to the movie theater with my friends to watch the movie Knight and Day it was mostly a combination of action and comedy, the movie starts in an airport where Tom cruise who acts as Roy Miller, the main carácter of the movie. He was a secret agent that worked for the FBI but they though he was going to steel the Cycifer which was a battery so small that could figure in your hands and is very powerfull that Could even give energy to a small city. Then at the begining at the airport gate Roy meets with Cameron diaz that acts as June Heavens. She was not supposed to get on the flight that Roy will get on, after he sees that June got into the same flight he got worried because eveyrone inside were agents that worked with the FBI and were sent to capture Roy, the problem got when tom reveled to June his secret of been an agent, at that part she got into troubles and the entire movie is about June and Roy trying to evade giving the Cycifer to the wrong people. This movie speaks about two important things: first, you have to fear everyone around you and trust very few. Second, you must not work for the FBI, this movie even shows how a secret agency can work for the wrong side and making us think they work to protect us, even though sometimes we fear not. It was a very entertaining movie and I would definitely recommend it. (263 words)
