Well deserved Oscar to Christoph Waltz

Hey guys! As I watched Inglourious Basterds, I was stupefied by Christoph Waltz's performance. Amazingly, he spoke four distinct languages fluently in the movie, French, German, English, and Italian. I had no knowledge of his existence before watching the movie, and I can't beleive it, because it seems impossible having such an actor pass by unnknnown. Nevertheless, I was eagerly awaiting the oscar ceremony, hoping Waltz would win an Oscar for best Actor in Supporting Role. When I found out he'd already been nominated I just knew he would win the Oscar. Little are those actors who can incorporate a character so well. As matter of fact, I only know a few. Al Pacino( Scent of a Women ), Robert Downey Junior( Tropic Thunder), Matt Damon( Bourne Triology), and Marlon Brando ( God Father). Here is a video of Waltz's thanks for the Oscar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eve8MDTiF7M
Well, I can't just describe his brilliant performance and expect you readers to imagine his talent. I strongly suggest any of you reading to watch this short video( and the movie if you had not watched it) of one of my favorite scenes in the movie. After watching it, I am sure you will enjoy him. Have Fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKwHHG7nXc

Interesting Invention World's First Flying Car

Some people prefer traveling by plane. Others prefer traveling by car. Why not travel in a car plane then? Yes, it is true, the first flying automobile is in its final test phase. When it is over, people may enjoy a family car trip without worrying about traffic. It functions as a car in the road but if one wishes to take off, one may (if there is enough road for lift off). Here is a video to explain this better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHXnLCIgNug
I think this new invention is extremely interesting and cool. However, I beleive society is not yet ready to operate such a car. Drunk drivers could smash into an apartment, street racing could happen in the sky with even worse fatal consequences, and it would be almost impossible to stop terrorists with such technology. If there could be a way to monitor the drivers constantly, then this car would be perfect.

Movie Everyone should watch: Tropic Thunder

Simply Hilarious. Tropic Thunder is definitely the best comedy movie I've watched this year, even though it was released a couple of years ago. For starters, its cast is unbeleivable, the leading actors are Robert Downey Junior, Jack Black, and Ben Stiller. As if it wasn't enough, the movie stil counts with the presence of Tom Cruise,Matthew McConaughey, Bill Hader( Officer Slater in SuperBad),Jay Baruchel(Knocked Up),and Brandon T. Jackson( known after movie). Additionally, it just fit, all actors worked perfectly togerther.

Another intresitng thing, is that Ben Stiller directed the movie and wrote the story and screenplay. I admit, I thought he wouldn't make it. But incredibly, he did an excellent job. Well, let me tell you guys about the story. It is basically a joke and critic towards war movies. Through a series of freak occurrences, a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying. So, the actors are playing actors in a war movie, which turns out to become pretty real. I won't say anything else or else it will ruin the movie.

Some intresting facts you oughta know, is that Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for an Oscar in this movie by best supporting actor. He really sends it out of the park. Here is a video o Tom Cruise dancing in the movie( notice he is playing a fat dude).

Family Guy character of the week: Cleveland

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/ic/blogs/channelsurfing/uploaded_images/ClevelandBrown-764538.jpg
Cleveland is an African American in the Family Guy series. They use Cleveland's character as a comical releif to evident daily examples of racism. In the other hand however, Cleveland is one of Peter's best friends and has a very funny voice. He is one of my favorite characters and I beleive many poeple enjoy him because of his inocence and his funny voice. Here is a video showing Cleveland being interupted during his bath by another of Peter's crazy inventions. He is always pacient but in this video he gets kind of angry. These scences were quite a hit in the series. I think its hilarious. Cleveland is sucha great character that there is even a new series with him, "The Cleveland Show." I beleive its going to be great because its from the same producers of Family Guy and it has a hilarious character on it. Lets justw ait and see.

Why Lenny isn't playing??? I don´t know...

http://www.estadao.com.br/fotos/lenny_palmeiras_ponte_292.jpg
Palmeiras is facing a tough time this year.... We couldn't make it to the Libertadores by finishing at 5th place in the 2009 Brasileirão. Consequently, the team's possible reinforcements are no more. If we had qualified to the Libertadores, we would most likely have Valdivia and Kleber by now, which are fantastic players. Not only that, but we also lost players we had like Vagner Love, who is now playing for Flamengo brilliantly. Therefore, our team is currently weak. We are either losing or tying the matches now. The main reason for such a bad start is that we have no reliable offensive player playing.
Who in his right mind would beleive in a team led offensively by Robert and João Arthur!? In other words pathetic. Fortunately, our team still has Lenny. Lenny had a great performance in the 2009 Paulistão. He would've probably had a good performance in the Brasileirão or even the 2009 Libertadores if he hadn't injured him self. Here is a video of his hat trick against POnte Preta in the 2009 Paulistão
He also assisted Palmeiras' squad against São Paulo in the 2008 Paulistão's semi-final. This goal was the first step toward our team's victory. This year we were Champions of the Paulistão.
Before coming to Palmeiras, Lenny played for Fluminesnse where he was considered one of the best. Again injuries delayed his progress but fortunately led him to Palmeiras. Here is a video of a fantastic gol he scores for Flu.
Therefore, Lenny is a future promise for any club. We know he can lead a team in the Paulistão from his past perfromances and he is still 21 years old. If Muricy explores him well we may have a star for the Copa do Brasil and even the Brasileirão. For now, he can assist the team in the Paulistão, Muricy only needs to call him for the matches. I beleive in his talent and have great hopes for him, even the possibility of playing for Brasil in a World Cup one day. Let us just hope he doesn't injure him self as much now.

The Mousetrap Chapel school play

Chapel's newest school play is Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. Its major difference from the last school play is that this one is not a comical one but a thrilling suspense. Thus, the ideal public would be high school students and adults.

The story is about "a homicidal maniac who stalks the snowbound guests of an imposing manor... as a group of strangers gather on an isolated island..." The guests sense peril when a police man arrives in the manor claiming one of them is an assasin. The suspect builds on as victims are made and each and everyone of the guests may be the murderer him/herself.

Since I'm part of the play I strongly reccomend you to come watch it. It will be presented April 20something(sorry I forgot the day). This year I'll be Mrs. Boyle a "large, imposing woman in a very bad temper..." The reason I'm a old lady is beacause I wanted to make Herbert's voice, from Family Guy remember? Well anyways, the voice became an issue because its funny, and the play is supossed to be serious. However, there is still a chance the voice may be used... So, if you wish to watch I guarantee you will have a good time.

End of Semester exams

There are a few days between the eerie exams and the peaceful vacations. As the semester comes to an end students tend to study feverishly to recover bad grades or improve any class' grades whatsoever. The final semester grades represent your final average which institutions will look upon in order to accept you or not. Although you may improve your GPA(grade point average) for the next semester, you should still aim for the best average possible, because as time goes by it only gets harder.

Thus, the end of semester exams may be your worst foe or your best friend, since it may improve or lower your grade significantly. Therefore, students study feverishly to guarantte a good grade in the exam and improve or maintain a good grade for the class. My greatest concern is physics which I depend upon to end the year with a good average.
