THE SCREAM

The Scream was painted by Eduard Munch in 1893. Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) is the title Munch gave to this work. It is and oil, tempera and pastel on carboard, it’s not a realist picture it’s expressionist.

It shows a person with a terrified expression who’s screaming in type of bridge and the background is so rare.

Munch is one of the most important expressionist painters and I think the scream is his better painting.

The scream actually shown in Oslo’s National Gallery. It’s the most expensive picture in history, it has been sold for 91 million of euros.

I'd like to recommend a film wich I see recently, called Coach Carter. The director of the film is Thomas carter.
The film is the story of a basketball coach called Ken Carter and the setting is in the United States at actuallity. The main characters are the coach, and the 12 players team. Carter is an old legend of basketball team, and now the coach of the team Richmond Oilers.
The things I liked most about the film were the characters and the theme of friendship. Some of the scenes are memorable because they're really strong with the problems about racism in United Estates, and the style and plot are very good because is a real history.
All in all, I really liked the film and his happy ending, I wouldn't change it. It's a complicated film to see, but it's still got a strong message

MY LAST SUMMER

This last summer I stayed in Bantyoles all the time. During this time I followed a routine wich will tell you now. First I get up at 12 o'clock and went to take my mother to buy coffee and lunch. Around 3 we ate and then I do my homework. Sometimes I swam the club with my friends or watch a movie. I saw many movies during the summer, but now I will tell you a short summary of the movie "Life of Brian". The film is a parody of the story of Jesus in wich main character is called Brian. Brian is a son of Roman. Brian hated romans and does everything to find out who his father was. At the end of the film Brian dies on the cross. In the evenings I usually played videogames with friends and at one o'clock I went to sleep

Kick-Ass 2

The first Kick-Ass was a hilarious interpretation of the superhero genre in wich an ordinary boy tries to become a  costumed crime-fighter. In this sequel, he is joined by more social  misfits desperate to become heroes and they from Justice Forever, the world's first super-team (with no real super-powers). If it is half as good as the original it's worth seeing

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Many people found that watching the first part of The Hobbit, filmed using ultr-fast 48 framesper-second 3D technology, made them feel so nauseous that they wanted to vomit. If that was not the case for you, here is the second episode in Peter Jackson's trilogy about young Bilbo Baggins... And this time, there's a dragon!

Chelsea 2-1 Benfica

Chelsea have won the UEFA Europa League trophy with a 2-1 victory over SL Benfica in the final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner in injury time.

A 93rd-minute header from Branislav Ivanovic gave Chelsea a stunning 2-1 victory over Benfica in the Europa League final on Wednesday as the London club claimed the trophy for the first time in heart-stopping fashion.

The game in Amsterdam seemed destined for extra time after Fernando Torres’ superb 60th-minute opener for Chelsea was cancelled out by an Oscar Cardozo penalty, only for Ivanovic to net a dramatic winner with a looping header in stoppage time.
Moments later, Chelsea’s players greeted the final whistle with a jubilant mass embrace, as they became the first team to simultaneously hold the Champions League and Europa League titles.

Chelsea, Benfica set for Europa League final

After a lengthy campaign, Chelsea and Benfica have survived and will square off in Wednesday’s UEFA Europa League final in Amsterdam.
So the question now is: how will they react to such adversity and the sudden realization the championship is lost after having things go their way all season long? The chance to make good is staring them in the face. It won’t be easy of course, but victory would also help erase the memories of back-to-back losses to Chelsea in the quarter-finals of last year’s Champions League. It could be the last opportunity they have for a while, as well. Benfica is a selling club and the likes of Lima, Oscar Cardozo and Nemanja Matic could all be sold. It might be now or never for Benfica.

Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid boss to leave next month

Real Madrid have announced that head coach Jose Mourinho will leave the club at the end of the season after three years in charge of the Spanish giants.

President Florentino Perez revealed the decision at a packed news "We've decided to bring our relationship to an end," said Perez. "Nobody's been sacked, it's a mutual agreement."

Real Madrid have two games left this season. They are away at Real Sociedad on 26 May, with Mourinho taking charge at the Bernabeu for the final time on 1 June against Osasuna.
"The club and manager agree the timing is right to bring our relationship to an end," Perez added.
But Perez denied a replacement had been lined up to take over from Mourinho.
"We have no pre-contract signed with any managerial candidate," he said.
"It's something we'll have to look at in the coming days."
  Paris Saint Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti had earlier said: "I've asked to leave and I am waiting for their answer."
