I've decided to make a list from the 2007 movies.
Number 2 on my list is the first true western in quite some time, 3:10 to Yuma, staring Russell Crowe, Christian Bale, and a bunch of others famous actors. The movie was fucking amazing, and not just because it was a Western, I would like any western but this was an actual very good done movie, Russell Crowe character was well developed and the plot was surprising.
The number 1 movie on my list is a movie that I really recommend to you, after all is my favorite movie from 2007. This is one of the fimls I think is a perfect ten. This movie starts off very slow but it builds until eventually, without you even realize, the movie gets very intense and you are wondering what's going to happen. This film doesn't have a traditional structure, it has not the usual good guy or the bad guy in the movie, it's just a series of events related to each other until the melting point when the movie explotes to end up with one of the best endings I have ever seen, the last 15 minutes from the movie are just pulse raising . The name of the movie is There Will Be Blood, is not just the best movie of 2007, it's also one of the best movies of all time, and I've seen a lot of movies from a lot of different eras so I can make that declaration.

My top 5 (Part one) 2007
I was going to make a text about how everything is hopeless and every year is exactly the same so there's no reason thinks will change to better, but that seems depressing so I decided to write about something less depressing than the real situation> the movies.
I'm not a movie expert because I don't really know the names of any directors or cinematographers or screenwriters, I just like movies, I pretty much see one or two movies a week. I watch any kinds of movies from the independents ones up to the more commercial ones, so I decided to compile a list of my top five movies from 2007. I've tried to make a list once before but it took to long so this time I'm not even gonna bother trying to explain every movie perfectly.
The number 5 movie is knocked up, the reason I like this movie was probably because It was god dam surprising to me when I went throw with it. I thought the movie will be just another kind of cheap American stupid ass comedy, but I end up wacthing a movie with a interesting plot, developed characters, and overall it was hilarious.
My number 4 movie from my top ten 2007 list is a movie that probably many of you haven't seen, I have not heard anyone talking or discussing about it, but it is one of the best movies anyway . The name is Turtles can Fly, is an Iraqi and Iranian film. Turtles can fly is an story set in a Kurdish refugee camp on the Iraqi-Turkish border on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, In the refugee there are lot's of orphan children who's lives aren't easy, they have to clean up the minefields in order to survive.
Number 3 is the Simpsons movie, I didn't want to put this in my list because it sounds corny to have a movie based on a still running TV show which has really lost the relevance, but this movie was pretty fucking good. Even though the show is lousy this days,the movie is really good with really god jokes. It was maybe not as good as it could it been, but you can say that with any adaptation to the big screen. The movie was really successful and the producers seem to understand how to make the humor work in a 90 minuts format versus the 30 minuts format from the show.

About soccer
First off I want a clear that I am a really soccer fan, I really enjoy watching soccer games on TV, and usually I never miss to watch a match. I understand soccer teams can be really important to the people until the point some people's life are directly related to their teams, in my case I'm not that fanatic, I just love to spend some time watching my favorite team: Sevilla football club, instead of waste my time watching crappy tv shows or bad movies.
As I said before, even though I don't play soccer, I have always like to watch it, but nowadays, with the European Cup coming up, I am starting to realize that maybe to much relevance is being giving to Spain National team. A lot of people are expecting Spain to win so badly, they can't think about anything else, it looks like the only that matters is The European Cup. If you have been watched TV lately this days, you can see how many information and shit are giving out about the Spanish team. HOLLY SHIT, every small detail about any player or team or whatsoever anything having to do with soccer. So in my opinion, is nice and amazing to watch and European cup where all the good teams are, and where I´m sure it´s going to be quality games, but we cannot forget that it's only an sport, and that's it.

I Hate
Everyone always talks about they likes, although I'm gonna talk about some issues I dislike so much, that I even hate:
- I hate TV news so much, because the news you can always see tradegies without feeling them. News are feed outrfrom the human tragedies, but the wrong thing is that they always show us only some points of view, The News aren't as object as they should be: For Example, sometimes there's a massive death of children in Africa, and the news spend at most, 20 minuts, however, if some crazy Spanish guy violent abuses of an emigrant, this goes out in the news for at least 18 weeks, WTF.

The book I have chosen
Since we must chose an English book for the last term, I have chosen the book The Autobiography of Malcolm x. It's a really interesting book about the life of Malcolm X
So far I like the book, and the vocabulary isn't too hard, sometimes I have to check some words on the dictionary though, but that doesn't bother me at all.
Actually this it's gonna be the first time I've never read a voluntary English book, voluntary only means not a school book.
Malcolm X has been the main refereence or those who having fighting for the afro-American people's rights. Despiting the strength of his believe, because he was a Muslim, that was his personal values, between him and the god in whom he believed. Malcolm X considered himself as a black nationalist freedom fighter, he didn't support neither the republicans or the democrats, cuz he knew both of those groups had never supported the afro-American cause. He had so many quality's as a speaker, as a leader, he always believed in his cause. Overall Malcom X was a really concern man, we need more mans like him nowadays.

Iraqi War five years later: 2008 end of the ocupation?
Five years ago, as you now, the US began bombing Baghdad. The invasion was on. Six weeks later, President Bush stood under a banner reading “Mission Accomplished” and declared an end to major military combat operations in Iraq. Now, half a decade later, the war continues with no end in sight, even worst, Iraqi people are suffering more violence now than five years ago.
In a next speech, I'm sure the President will again give an upbeat assessment of the war.
So, right now the situation of Iraq is getting worse and worse, the war has been an unmitigated disaster. Up to one million Iraqis have been killed. Up to 2.5 million people are estimated to be displaced inside Iraq, and more than two million have moved to neighboring countries. Meanwhile, nearly 4,000 US soldiers have been killed and tens of thousands more wounded.
Overall the Iraqi war brings all types of problems for the Iraqis as well as for the American soldiers, such of death, injury, poverty, ....
Anyway, now in the States, people are starting to realize that the Iraqi War was a mistake, and also they are realizing Iraq occupation has to end right the way. Why does it look like it might be the year of the end of Iraq War? Because citiciens have listened to the trickery, and the lies, and the false promises of the white house for too long, and they're fed up. And in 2008, it seems to be the year, because what can the republicans use now to fool americans?, nuthin, americans see all through now. They have been ralling this past months, some of the most powerful voices against the war have been the men and women who have fought in it, few of them are even Republicans, That's means that Iraqi war has become the main enemy, whether you are Repulican, Democrat, whether you are cristian, atheius, Iraqi war is consider wrong, so , I'm almost sure that 2008 will be year when the Iraqi occupation must end.

The goal of this blogz
If you have been reading my blog you may think that I have a pessimist behavior, but that's not true, I don't look myself as a pessimist, I look myself as a critic person. So when I write on the blog I don't do it as a pessimist person, I write as a critic I actually like to be critic, I mean it, I like to detect the wrong or the miss understanding facts of the politics, life, society. And, as I see it, is good to have your own ideas so you can speak your own words ad think your own thoughts,however if you wanna be sure that your values are only yours and that your opinions are not being influencited by no one, you need to be critic with everything, you have to doubt on almost all you are concern about.
Even dough I have written a lot of hopeless entrances, the goal of his blog is not to give a awful view of our world, the real goal of this blog is to fight what is coming to all of us, against the enemy that is coming to all of us, the credulity.
