The last film that I saw in the cinema was Sherlock Holmes. I have always been passionate about Sherlock’s stories but this movie represents for me a mistaken idea of Sherlock.
The story begins at the end of the 19th century in London. Sherlock and his loyal friend Doctor Watson have to arrest Lord Blackwood, a dangerous Satanist who is threatening England.
The main characters are played by Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law. The acting is good but I think there is too much action for a Sherlock Holmes film. In my opinion it is an adventure film much more than a thriller. Sherlock was mainly a private detective not a man of action. From my point of view the film is too long and I am not sure that it will appeal to the audience because everybody has a different idea of Sherlock.
To sum up, I do not recommend people going to watch the movie because it does not represent the real Sherlock

Freddy Mercury
by Carl Lender
Freddie Mercury was born on Thursday, September 5th 1946 on the small island of Zanzibar. In 1954, at the age of eight he was sent to St Peter’s English School near Bombay, where his friends began to call him Freddie. He was, apart from being an excellent singer, a good sportsman. His artistic skills were incomparable. In 1964, due to political unrest in Zanzibar his family migrated to England After finishing his studies Freddie got a diploma in graphic art and design and initially he sold artwork by himself and schoolfellows. Freddie Mercury formed his own music band in 1970, called Queen and composed by four members, Brian May, Roger Taylor, Freddie Mercury…John Deacon joined the band in 1971 and the band Queen was complete. It was one of the best British rock bands ever. After nearly twenty years of success, in 1988 rumours began to spread that Mercury was suffering from AIDS but he denied them all the time. On October 8 th 1988 Freddy Mercury performed on stage for the last time, at that time he was terribly ill with AIDS and he made a public announcement the day before he died. Finally, on November 24 th 1991 Freddy Mercury died of AIDS at his home in London. The most notable aspect of this songwriter involved the wide range of genres he used and he is ranked 18 on the list of the 100 greatest singers of all time.
Guy Fawkes, Britain’s most notorious traitor
In 1605, thirteen young men planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, they would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales and the Members of Parliament who where making life difficult for the Catholics. Nowadays, these conspirators would be known as terrorists.
Guy Fawkes, who was in the cellar of the Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder when the authorities stormed it in the early hours of November 5 th, was caught, tortured and executed. Since then, Bonfires have been set alight to celebrate the safety of the King and November 5th has become known as Bonfire Night. The event is commemorated every year with fireworks and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
Twilight
This weekend I went to the cinema, I´ve seen a film called Twilight. It´s a story based on a romantic novel about two teenagers, a girl and a boy who is a vampire but a vampire with a good heart. This is a love story which seems to be an impossible love because the vampire and the human girl are in love and they always want to be together although they know that´s difficult and dangerous. The human girl wants to be turned into a vampire because she knows it´s the better way to be together forever but the vampire boy refuses to do it because he doesn´t want her to become a killer for life. I liked this story very much and I´m very keen to see the second part of this interesting film.
