The truth about Rooney's situation

Ok. The task we must do today is a little harder than the others we have developed the last weeks. I don’t know what news I am going to choose to make a summer from it. I thought about some movie or something like that, but now I think it will be a sports one. Whatever, here we go…

Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United’s Manager, talked about the supposed problems between the club and Wayne Rooney. Ferguson implied the fault was not of Rooney but his agent.

The manager said that it is always difficult to achieve a deal with the best footballers, but not because of them, on the contrary, because of their agents.

The Ferguson’s declarations were after the victory of United over Stoke City (2-1) the last weekend. Besides, the manager said this triumph must be continued with other conquests on the next matches from now to Christmas. This was under the context of the third place of Manchester on the Premier League.

After that match, Ferguson told to the press that the Mexican Hernández’s goal was one of the best of the season. It was very celebrated by the fans and by the footballers too.

Although Gary Neville, Manchester United’s defender, had not a very good performance (because the referee could have shown him a second yellow card and, therefore, a red one) he was eulogized by the manager because of his play.

Finally, a spokesman for the company of Rooney’s agent did not want to talk about Ferguson’s comments.

An amazing movie...

Well, as our teacher wrote in her own blog, I have written about my favourite movie too. It was on the first semester, for the blogs too. In that opportunity I said the film I like the most was “The Lion King” and I keep it.

But this time I am not going to talk about the same movie (though I could copy paste it… but I won’t :P ). In this occasion I will write about one movie that I saw some time ago. And it was: “Shutter Island”.

My brother has bought it (not the original, cause it was still on the cinema :O),so I watched it at home. I loved it because of many reasons. First of all, because the actor who is playing the main character is Leonardo Di Caprio… and I love him!! I don’t care if some people say he does not act very well, cause he is one of the best for me and that’s all I care.

But, besides, the director of this film is really good. Martin Scorsese has made many excellent movies, for example, “The Aviator” (with Di Caprio, too). And in this one he obtains an amazing story.

“Shutter Island“ is a psychological thriller film based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name. The main character is investigating a psychiatric jail located on the island with the same name. He goes there with his assigned partner to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a patient who apparently vanished.

The entire movie seems to be one, but at the end it is completely different (I won’t tell you why, if you have not seen it). Scorsese achieve his objective: he makes you believe something and then it is not what you thought (though I wasn’t really sure of it on the last scene).

Actually, it is one of the best films I have ever seen.

My favourite tv show, though it is not anymore

This time I must write about my favourite TV show. I really don’t know which one I can choose. It is truly hard!!

I like many series, for example, Friends, Sabrina (though they both finished many time ago), The Simpsons, Doctor House, Disney series (I know, I still have got my child side) and other ones.

But I am going to write about “Aquí no hay quién viva”. This is a Spanish comedy series, which takes place in a build. It is shows the stories of all the residents, from a boy to ancient women. There is all kind of characters: a housewife, a lesbian, a homosexual couple, young people, adults… everyone.

I like this series because it is too much fun. I started to watch it many years ago (when Chilevisión transmitted it) with my mom and my brothers. I waited all the week till Saturday, to watch it eating delicious things, like crisps, nachos, etc.

“Aquí no hay quién viva” is not like other series. It has got the Spanish touch, their humor, their idiosyncrasy, their point of view. I think it’s really well done.

Another good aspect of this series is that all characters have almost the same prominence.

The first time this series was on air was in 2003 by the Spanish channel Antena 3. It had only five seasons, because there were some problems between the producer and the television station (some workers moved to another channel, Tele 5, where they started a similar series).

Sadly, for me, Chilevisión did not transmitted it anymore =(

And a year ago or so, this channel began to show the Chilean version… I have not even watched a piece of it. And I guess I won’t do it.

Every time I have the opportunity to watch the original (on Antena 3) I do it, but the bad side is I have lost many episodes. But it doesn’t matter, because it is funny anyway.
