Kiss

I’m sure that everyone of you heard a little bit about that music band.

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons created it in 1973. They play hard rock music but they also have slow songs. My favorites are Forever, Calling Dr. Love, God gave Rock N’ Roll to you, Detroit rock city and I was made for loving you. They are really great! Something special about this band is that everyone, even the drummer can sing. They haven’t got the main singer but in most of the songs sing Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. The characteristic thing of them is that they always put a make up on their faces when they are on the concert.

For example:

Paul Stanley – The StarchildGene Simmons – The Demon Tommy Thayer – The Spaceman Peter Criss – Catman I don’t care that that music band is a little bit old and I really like them.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

I watched this film 2 weeks ago and I really enjoy it. This movie was made by ma favorite film director – Tim Burton. He made it before (in my opinion) one of his best film – Edward Scissorhands. This movie tell the story about Jack, who live in town whose name is “Halloween”. The main character (Jack) don’t like the place where he live and one day he gone to forest. He found there a door to another town – “Christmas”. When he came back he wish he can make a Christmas in his strange town and he did it. But the holiday not goes as it should be. That’s enough about the plot. This film is very similar to another Tim Burton’s movie – Corpse Bride. In my opinion this is a very good film.

Iron Man 2

Today I will write about film that I watched last Saturday. Title of that film is Iron Man II.

In my opinion it’s very good movie. Probably I think that because I watched it after long way to home from Prague. I have been sitting in bus for 10 hours, then I drank 2 coffee. After that I really needed action film with good music. And this film was just so.
Main character was played by Robert Downey Jr. There were also people like Scarlet Johanson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Samuel L. Jackson. I don’t have to write here whole plot of movie, because I think that many of you know it.

If I have to watch it again I would do it.

Danny Elfman

I’m sure that most of you don’t know who he is. But don’t worry, I will tell you. He is one of the best creators of film music.

Because as everyone knows a movie without music is not a film.
He composed music to films such as: Alice in Wonderland, Spider-Man 2, Batman, Ghostbusters 2, Man in Black, Hellboy, Planet of the Apes, Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, The Simpsons and much more. When I was bored I counted them about 100!
He isn’t only composing music but he is also adding his voice to films. For example, in “Charlie and The Chocolade Factory” he gave voice to Oompa Loompa. It was a small dwarf who sang and worked at the factory;)
He wrote the music for all films made by Tim Burton, but not to Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd.
In my opinion his best song is “Ice Dance” from Edward Scissorhands and “Alice Thame” from Alice in Wonderland.

My film

Today I’ll write about the movie which I made with my friend. This is a movie for the English competition and of course in English language. We made it with only a small addition of decoration. We concentrated in this little film on the characterization and music. And that was not easy because How to dress (of course in our age) like Batman, The Joker or Harry Potter as much as possible to look like them? The biggest problem I had were with Joker whose role I played. The white color of paint which I had on my face, when it dried up it began to crumble. Fortunately, you can’t see it on the film: P. And I looked very strange with my green hair ...

Ok, I must stop complaining because it gets boring.
My friend Monica was dressed as Batman and Harry. She had a little easier to dress because she had to put the hat and then a batman mask and cap to the pool:)
Unfortunately, most of you will not see it, but you can watch pictures from the plan at the beginning of the post.

Marilyn Manson

I know that as you look at this picture you don’t want to read this post but you must understand that I don’t want to make this blog like anyone else.

I want to say straight away that I’m not a big fan of Marilyn!

I’m sure that you think that he is a little bit insane. But in my opinion he just try to show you something different. His real name is Brian Hugh Warner and Marilyn Manson is just his stage name. It comes from Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. He is known mainly from the controversial image and text. At the beginning of his career he was a journalist and later he made the band Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids. But soon this changed to Marilyn Manson. Interesting is that Brian prepared a cover of the song This Is Halloween from the Tim Burton movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and he made the soundtrack to the Matrix. He wrote the book and has plans to create a film entitled Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll it is going to be a psychological horror. Release date is 2010 so we are waiting As to his songs I think they are a little too anti-religious but the music is ok.

If anyone wants find out something about his music I propose to listen first and then watch the video.

The Dark Knight

Today I should write about a music band but I don’t want to. Anyway, I have no idea about with band I should write. When I have an idea I'll write.

But now I’ll write about the film which is titled “The Dark Knight”. This is another movie of Batman who is always running and catching criminals. This time he must catch the Joker, who rob banks, kill people, put bombs under hospitals and he is always carrying knives and in addition no one can find him. The film isn’t just about the Joker steals and kills to get rich. He wants to prove at any price that even the best man who helps people can change to a person who is going and killing because he lost a loved one. Joker succeeded and won. But Batman hasn’t allowed to that and it can’t came to light. He take all the evil upon himself and that person, nicknamed Two Face man was good and the Batman is bad. He couldn’t admit that a villain won. Although we all know that the Joker was a hundred times better and more astute than Batman.

Okay. It is about the essence of what this movie meant. If anyone hasn’t seen this movie you should watch it, of course, if you aren’t afraid of clowns :). In my opinion the best character in this movie was the Joker and Heath Ledger posthumously should get more awards for this role.
