Movie review
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
The movie opens some time in the Medival Age, in the castle of the legendary Arthurian wizard Merlin. Merlin has three apprentices: Balthazar (Nicolas Cage), Horvath (Alfred Molina) and Veronica (Monica Bellucci), who are trying to protect Merlin and his dangerous spell – generically titled “The Rising” – from falling into the hands of the evil sorceress Morgana (Alice Krige). Horvath turns against his aged master and helps Morgana steal the spell and kill Merlin. In the process of trying to fight off and capture Morgana, Veronica performs a “Soul Merging” spell to trap them together in one body. I don’t want to give away the whole movie because it was a lot of fun to watch, but just like any family friendly Disney film, the good guys win in the end.
There were several things I liked about this film: the visual effects were crazy-good, and while the story was predictable (but enjoyable), the acting was above par. I think Disney really passed up an opportunity to destroy The Last Airbender in theaters over the July 4th weekend, because honestly, families didn’t have much to choose from in the way of good family-friendly action films and this film would have been a much-appreciated option.
Bottom line: The Sorcerer's apprentice should be right up your alley if you are in the mood for an enjoyable action/adventure/comedy film that isn’t animated.

A room description
I live in a room which is not big and not small. I would say the golden middle. I share it with my small brother. Actually he’s huge but never mind. In our room we have a pretty big desk, which is big enough for two of us, in the center of the desk is the only thing that we can’t share. It’s our computer. Above the desk from my part is a big thingy which has lot’s of shelfs. In those shelfs there are different kind of books, accessories, family photos and video games. Above the desk from my brothers part there is a giant window. The view in that window is beautiful. You can see whole center of Tallinn plus a little part of sea. Near the desk is a big wardrobe filled with our clothes and other things. Opposite the window is our bed. It’s duplex. I sleep on the first floor, because it’s really hot up there on the second floor.

Review on Oliver Twist
A young orphan named Oliver Twist through a series of unfortunate events becomes affiliated with a band of child pickpockets in London trained by an old miser. After many adventures Oliver escapes the band and is reunited with his relatives.
Oliver Twist is born in a workhouse, and orphaned almost immediately. The managers of the workhouse abuse him and declare that he will amount to nothing. Eventually, Oliver is apprenticed out and runs away from the situation once the cycle of abuse and extreme want repeat themselves.
In his journey, Oliver meets the Artful Dodger, a seemingly nice boy who offers his assistance. Oliver is taken to a run-down house occupied by Fagin and his boys. There, Oliver is initiated into the rites of pickpocketing, theft, and petty crime. His first unwilling foray into the new profession is not a success, however, since Oliver is caught by the police and taken to court. The victim of the pickpocketing, Mr. Brownlow, takes pity on him and takes him into his own home to help the boy recover from an illness. Brownlow is strangely drawn to the boy. Oliver's old friends, including the murderous Sikes and the mysterious Monks, try to find the boy and remove him from his new surroundings. Oliver tries desperately to escape from Fagin and his group. During his adventures, he finds that his past is neither so hidden nor so shameful as he has been led to believe.

Enjoy ;DDD
Where am I? How did I get here? Why does my head hurt?
You're in a hospital, sir. I'm with the police. We weren't sure you were going to wake up. You had a golf club wrapped around your neck. Just tell us everything you remember.
Well, I was teaching my wife golf. Of course, I won every hole. But on the little par 3, 17th hole, we both hit right to the green, and we both putted right to the pin.
When I walked to the flag, I saw one putt had overshot, but the other ball had apparently sunk. I didn't know whose it was, so I pulled the flag, looked in, saw it was her Spalding in there, and I said, "Looks like your hole, dear." That was the last thing I remember.
