Review 4

The Great Gatsby
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher
In the film, The Great Gatsby, the main character Nick arrives at the Dizzy's second cousin's wedding and settles next to the enigmatic and mysterious Mr. Gatsby, loving roll loud revelry and parties. So begins a tangle of melodramatic love secrets, passion and intrigue, but at the end of film the hero was died.
I think that Gatsby is primarily a story about a man, whose eyes were boundless hope for the best. This is a message to the world film easily transmits to the viewer.

As for me, The Great Gatsby is a very interesting and exciting film. Real love, real emotions. I like it very much and suggest everybody looks this film.

Part 6
Coffey on the Mile
Two days later, on the eighteenth, Bill Dodge, Hank Bitterman, and someone else – the narrator didn't remember who, some floater - took John Coffey over to D Block for his shower, and he with his friends rehearsed his execution while he was gone. There were no thunderstorms on the night it came John Coffey's turn to walk the Green Mile. Brutus Howell was out front for this one - he would do the capping and tell Van Hay to roll when it was time. There weren't many witnesses. Brutal bent over and plucked the disk of sponge out of its bucket. Water from the sponge was dripping down the sides of John 's face. John surged forward against the chest-strap. For a moment his eyes met mine. They were aware; the narrator was the last thing he saw as us tilted him off the edge of the world. Then he fell against the seatback, the cap coming askew on his head a little, smoke - a sort of charry mist - drifting out from beneath it. The hands were limp again, the formerly bluish-white moons at the base of the fingernails now a deep eggplant hue, a tendril of smoke rising off cheeks still wet with salt water from the sponge... and his tears. John Coffey's last tears.

Part 5
Night Journey
The narrator had spoken to Hal Moores that morning, and he had told him that Melinda's brain tumor had caused her to lapse into bouts of cursing and foul language...The quavering in his voice, coupled with the memory of how John Coffey had healed both my urinary infection and the broken back of Delacroix's pet mouse, had finally pushed me over the line that runs between just thinking about a thing and actually doing a thing. When the narrator suggested that another miracle might result if he with his friends took John Coffey to Melinda Moores. Brutal came on the block at quarter to seven, Dean at ten 'til. It was twenty-five miles to Hal Moores's house on Chimney Ridge sitting back there with John Coffey. Brutal and the narrator had just reached the foot of the steps when the front door was hauled open hard enough to flap the brass knocker against its plate. There stood Hal Moores in blue pajama pants, clasped in his right hand, it was fully cocked. From somewhere behind him, a weak and wavery female voice called and he turned in that direction for just a moment, his face confused and despairing. John Coffey took the play out of our hands. He pushed into the entry and past Moores, who raised a single strengthless hand to stop him. John paid no attention, just went stolidly along. The woman in the back bedroom, propped up against the headboard and staring wall-eyed at the giant who had come into her muddled sight, didn't look at all like the Melly Moores. Closer he bent, and closer still. For a moment his huge face stopped less than two inches from hers. John Coffey went on kissing her in that deep and intimate way, inhaling. Melinda shook free of Hal's hand and ran as lightly as a girl to where John stood. She put her arms around him and gave him another hug. Then she reached around to the nape of her neck and pulled a fine-link chain out of her bodice. At the end of it was a silver medallion. She held it out to John, who looked at it uncomprehendingly. John took it, slipped the chain around his bullneck, and dropped the St. Christopher medallion into the front of his shirt.

Justin Bieber 'owes thousands' after leaving monkey hanging in Germany.

The headline of the article is «Justin Bieber 'owes thousands' after leaving monkey hanging in Germany». The article was published by associated Press in Berlin. The article is dated the 17th of May 2013.
The main idea of the article to inform us about that the Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber will have to pay thousands of euros to an animal shelter caring for the pet monkey seized two months ago by German customs officials.
The customs office in Munich said Bieber has until midnight on Friday to contact them, otherwise Mally, the singer's capuchin monkey, would become "property of the state" and would be transferred to a permanent home at a zoo or animal park elsewhere in Germany.
Mally was seized by German customs on 28 March when Bieber, 19, failed to produce required vaccination and import papers after landing in Munich while on tour. It was quarantined and cared for at the city's animal shelter, where the manager, Karl Heinz Joachim, said Mally, now 20 weeks old, had fared well and gained weight.
The shelter has criticised Bieber for keeping such a young monkey as a pet, saying the animal should not have been taken away from its mother until it was a year old. Experts say capuchin monkeys also need to be kept in groups as they are very sociable animals.
"The best thing would be not to buy one at all, but if you do, buy five," said Joachim.
He said emails from Bieber's management to the shelter indicated the singer does not want the monkey anymore, but that the final decision would have to be made by German authorities.
"Our contact is the person that the monkey belongs to," said Munich customs spokesman Thomas Meister. "We've had contact with lots of people but none of them was an authorised representative."
Meister said the cost of care, food and vet visits at the Munich shelter amounted to several thousand euros.
This article was very interesting and useful to me. I learned how there live foreign stars and what interests at them, occupations and what they are people. As for Justin Bieber not all about him well respond, I don't listen to his songs therefore I can't judge it.

The headline of the article is «Readers recommend: songs about magazines». The article was published by Adam Boult. The article is dated the 16th of May 2013.
The main idea of the article to inform us about how to help us put together a playlist of songs about all things glossy, stapled and foldable. The magazine: glossier cousin of the newspaper. Like an iPad you can read in the bath. From People to People's Friend, Woman's Weekly to Men's Health, you can find a magazine for every mood – but do they feature in any songs?
Post your suggestions for the best songs about magazines before midday on Monday and we'll assemble the ones we like best in a playlist for next week.
Now days there are many songs bad and good. Each person likes that is closer to him to heart, any certain state of mind can.
But I never heard about songs about magazines. It would be very desirable to listen...

The headline of the article is «Who are the nicest people in pop?». The article was published by Adam Boult. The article is dated the 16th of May 2013. The main idea of the article to inform us about your pleasant meetings with stars from the world of music. Yesterday's blog on unsocial, unpleasant and rude pop stars – yielded some great stories from readers.
However, we've had enough of all this negativity now. We want to hear about musicians who have been exemplars of decency. Have you had any run-ins with surprisingly nice pop stars? Here's a few shared with us by
@guardianmusic followers on Twitter:
@shbib Waiting at the venue for a Revenge gig we were approached by legendary Bass Viking Peter Hook. 'Alright lads?' he smiled.
@AllanNersessian On a flight to Yugoslavia saw Cliff Richard few rows in front. Asked for an autograph, bodyguard said no, Cliff said yes
@loverproof I handed George Michael his snazzy headphones back after he left them on a flight and he told me to keep them. Whaddaguy.
@JLucas86 I wrote an article about Abs from Five and his amazing hat on The Big Reunion. He read it and sent me the hat in the post.
@caseewilson Skunk Anansie all signed a poster for my 21st birthday at a gig in Manchester. Skin even drew a cake :) Made my night!
I think that our many stars, it is very good people. But I can't precisely claim because much to my regret I had no meeting with anybody from our and foreign stars.

          Big Reunion and The Voice prove one thing: it's nofun being an ex-pop star


The headline of the article is “Big Reunion and The Voice prove one thing: it's no fun being an ex-pop star.” The article was published by Marc Burrows. The article is dated the 16 th of May 2013. The main idea of the article to inform us why does anyone want to be a pop star? The solo career of a former boyband member, a guy with an exceptional singing voice and not a brain cell in his head. He was well into his 20s, and he'd been famous since he was 16, though his career had flagged after his first attempt at a solo career was met with indifference. By this time he was making PAs in regional nightclubs for £200 a night, and he'd often have to beg his management for £50 or £100 loans for train tickets. An adolescence spent getting off stools on cue and being told he was brilliant had left him woefully unprepared for the real world and he was incapable of anything as organised as booking his travel in advance. After a hard promo campaign, his comeback withered away – his album stayed in the vaults and he was dropped.
Meanwhile, The Big Reunion arena tour has been grinding its way across the country, showcasing reunited second-tier pop bands from the late 90s and early 2000s. Higgins and all of the Big Reunion acts – boybands 5ive, Blue and 911 and girlbands B*witched, Atomic Kitten and Honeyz – have two things in common: despite their stardom, none made music that was much cop, and each band had faltered and fallen apart after their audience abandoned them. The recent Big Reunion TV show, from which the tour sprang, brought us tears, bitter rivalries and unresolved issues – in each case the band had gone through a gruelling schedule, under enormous pressure, and then been dropped like a stone by a mercenary industry that valued them only as much as their last hit. It doesn't sound like much fun once the sales dried up.
Overworked and underpaid, under massive pressure with little hope of longevity, and facing a humiliating chase after the spotlight, with only the hope of the reality TV buck to follow: that's the life of the faded pop star. Cleo Higgins might be prepping for the next phase of The Voice under Will.i.am's supervision, and the Big Reunion tour is already booking ahead for Christmas – but it's hard to see why any of its participants are so keen to get back on the stage.
I think that many people want to become stars because now it is very fashionable and prestigious. If you have popularity, you have a lot of money.
