Magic Mike. ☺♥

In 1989, a director called Steven Soderbergh suddently became famous for his movie "Sex, Lies and Videotapes". His next films were about something different, but in 2013 he returned to the subject of sex with the film "Magic Mike" starring Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer.
Channing Tatum said that Soderbergh is a fantastic director. It's a person that is really smart and empowers the actors. 

"He's quick, the way he shoots is phenomenal" said Alex Pettyfer. 

Soderbergh is loved by everyone, even by an actor as Matthew McConaughey, infact he said that he doesn't say much, just what's needed. The film is about male strippers, but especially about Mike, the best one.

 a quando è persa.

il suo valore è raramento conosciuto fino a quando non andrà perso."

"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”"

The Hunger Games is a 2008 science fiction novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written in the voice of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the dystopian, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, exercises political control over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle to the death.

Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and determine the strengths and weaknesses of the other tributes. "Stylists" are employed to make each tribute look his or her best; Katniss's stylist, Cinna, is the only person at the Capitol with whom she feels a degree of understanding. The tributes are publicly displayed to the Capitol audience in an interview with television host Caesar Flickerman, and have to attempt to appeal to the television audience in order to obtain "sponsors". During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his longtime unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain sponsors, who can be critical to survival because of their ability to send gifts such as food, medicine, and tools to favored tributes during the Games.

While nearly half the tributes are killed in the first day of the Games, Katniss relies on her well-practiced hunting and survival skills to remain unharmed and concealed from the other tributes. A few days into the Games, Katniss develops an alliance with Rue, a 12-year-old girl from the agricultural District 11 who reminds Katniss of her own sister. In the meantime, Peeta appears to have joined forces with the tributes from the richer districts. However, when he has the opportunity to kill Katniss, he instead saves her from the others. Katniss's alliance with Rue is brought to an abrupt end when Rue is killed by another tribute, whom Katniss then kills in self-defence with an arrow. Katniss sings to Rue until she dies, and spreads flowers over her body as a sign of respect for Rue and disgust towards the Capitol.

Movies at MOMA ♥

In Italy there are a lot of English students and expats, that like to see English films, not dubbed, but in original language. Instead, Americans like to see Italian films but with subtitles. In USA, in fact, not many movies get distributed, that's why New York's Museum Of  Modern Art (MOMA) screened only 14 Italian films under the title "Medusa, Film from an Italian studio, 1995-2005." Laurence Kardish said:

"We like to hear the original language rather than having a dubbed version, because we can understand when a film is dubbed: there's hallowness."

Even if a lot of films include a dubb done really good, American people still prefer Italian original language. 

I think that Italian films are better with subtitles for American people. Hallowness has to be removed. So, American people can watch Italian films in original language.

☜ Sports ☞

Some strange sports.

Cheese-rolling, zorbing, sepak takraw, bossball.

Cheese-rolling.

In this game there are a lot of people who stands on the hill before to start. There's a man that throws a piece of cheese down the hill and all the players have to try to take the cheese. The first one that pick up the cheese can bring it home.

Zorbing.

This game consists of run in a ball. Basically, a woman or a man, enter in a plastic ball and an another person hit it down the hill. It can run also in a pool. 

The person inside will see a lot of mixed colors. 

green.. blue.. green.. blue..

Sepak Takraw.

This is similar to volleyball, but with some different rules. In this game there are two teams with three players and the camp has a net. They have to pass each other the ball, right and left the net but without hands.

They can use feets and knees.

Bossball.

Bossball is a musical sport. There are trampolines and a net. Players have to play with the ball on this camp and they can use arms, hands, feets and head. They jump on the trampolines and try to keep the ball in the air.

They play with the soundcheck.

My favourite sport.

I don't follow sport at much, but when I see it with my dad or with my friends I really like it! I see mostly football matches. For me it's a little bit boring follow sport at TV or in stadiums but sometimes it gets also funny.

My favourite sport is yoga. I love it!

It's relaxing and comfortable. I don't do yoga at much but when I have some free time I absolutely do it. It makes me feel really good, with myself and with other people.
Usually, when I come back home from school I don't even have time for lunch because when I am home it's 14:00. This is boring for someone that's always hungry!
In the afternoon I do my homework and then, I go to another school for do trinity.
At 21:00 I've finished everything, fortunately. So, I do yoga by myself.
