DEATH ON THE NILE

This movie is based on the book of Agatha Christie, I have chosen because Agatha is my favorite writer. Furthermore because the story takes place in Egypt, during a trip on the Nile river, and this country is one of the places I would like to visit in the near future because my parents get married in El Cairo and I am very interested to travel to Egypt and know it´s culture and history.

Death on the Nile is a Hercule Poirot mystery novel by the best-selling author Agatha Christie. The story follows the main character, Hercule Poirot, where he embarks on a vacation in Egypt, but finds himself solving two murder cases. Hercule Poirot is a French private investigator that is famous for solving some of the world's most perplexing mysteries. While he is on vacation and sailing on a river boat up the Nile, he finds himself in the middle of not one, but actually two murder mysteries.

It all starts when Linnet Ridgeway, one of the richest young ladies in London, steals the fiancé of her best friend, Jacqueline de Bellefort. Linnet Ridgeway not only steals Simon Doyle away from her friend Jackie, but she marries Simon and they head off on their honeymoon to Egypt. In revenge for stealing her man, Jackie starts showing up at all the locations where the newlyweds are present and harasses them. Coincidentally, Hercule Poirot is vacationing in Egypt and boards the same ship to sail up the Nile that the Doyles and Jackie de Bellefort take.

While on board, Jackie shoots Simon Doyle in the leg one night in the saloon. On the same night, Linnet Doyle is shot in the head while she's sleeping. Hrecule Poirot takes on the case with his friend and fellow investigator who has come aboard the ship, Colonel Race. During the investigation, two more people are shot and killed, including Linnet's maid and one of the other passengers, Mrs. Otterbourne. Just in the nick of time, Hercule Poirot finds the murderers as the ship returns to port and justice triumphs.

ARGO

I have to accept that I´am a fan of Ben Affleck I think he have a lot of good qualities that had made him to become who he is nowadays. Argo was one of his biggest achievements in the last years, and I have also decided to post this film because it is a true story and because tells the situation in 70´s and 80's.

Ben Affleck 

At the height of the Iranian revolution in 1979, Islamist militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. Six manage to get away and hide in the home of the Canadian ambassador (Victor Garber), but the solution is temporary because they know—especially with the door-to-door searches—as soon as the militants figure out where they are, they'll be killed. CIA "exfiltration" specialist Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky scheme to get them safely out of the country. His plan is to pose as a film producer scouting locations in Iran for an upcoming sci-fi production called Argo. The American hostages, in disguises, will then accompany him out of the country as his film crew. In order to pull it off, Mendez enlists the help of veteran Hollywood producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin) and make-up artist John Chambers (John Goodman). Based on the true story of the rescue operation by Canadian ambassador after the Canadian Parliament passed special legislation allowing Canadian passports to be issued to the Americans to help them escape.

OCHO APELLIDOS VASCOS

This is my favorite comedy film, it is an Spanish movie directed by Emilio Martínez-Lázaro.
It tells the story of Rafa (Dani Rovira) has never left his native Seville, until he meets a Basque girl named Amaia (Clara Lago), who resists his seduction techniques. Against his friends' advice, he follows her to Euskadi after she stays the night in his house and forgets her purse. A series of misunderstandings force Rafa to impersonate a full-blooded Basque with eight surnames, and get more and more entangled in that character, to get his way.
                                                                                      TRAILER:

I went this year to the cinema to saw it, and it was the first time I had ever laugh so much inside a cinema and I have a really good time.
The main actors are very professional and they had done an exceptional work in this movie.
This film has achieved a lot of success not only here in Spain also all over the world.

It is also very particular because they have recorded in Andalucia and in Euskadi two beautiful and aweome places that makes the movie become very special. 

I SPECIALLY RECOMEND YOU TO SEE THIS MOVIE 
YOU WILL ENJOY IT A LOT!  

PRETTY WOMAN

Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film set in Los Angeles. Written by J. F. Lawton and directed by Garry Marshall, the film stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.

The story of Pretty Woman centers on the down-on-her-luck Hollywood prostitute Vivian Ward who is hired by a wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and their developing relationship over the course of Vivian's week-long stay with him.

Originally intended to be a dark cautionary tale about class and prostitution in Los Angeles, this motion picture was reconceived as romantic comedy with a large budget. It was widely successful at the box office, and it became one of the highest money-makers of 1990.

Today it is one of the most financially successful entries in the romantic comedy genre, with an estimated gross income of $463.4 million, It is considered by many critics to be the most successful movie in the genre.

The film received a moderate amount of critical praise, particularly for the performance of Roberts, for which she received a Golden Globe Award, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. 

This movie is in my top ten favorite movies because the main characters are Richard Gere and Julia Roberts who are incredible actors in my opnion, and also because they made a very hard work recording this movie and as a result they achieve a great recognition all over the world.

I would like to emphasize that my favorite scene in this movie is when the song ``oh pretty woman´´ sounds it makes the film goes to another level.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS

This movie is one of my favorite ones because it is performed with Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith.

It is Based on a true story about a man named Christopher Gardner. Gardner has invested heavily in a device known as a "Bone Density scanner". He feels like he has made these devices. However, they do not sell as they are marginally better than the current technology at a much higher price. As Gardner tries to figure out how to sell them, his wife leaves him, he loses his house, his bank account, and credit cards. Forced to live out in the streets with his son, Gardner is now desperate to find a steady job; he takes on a job as a stockbroker, but before he can receive pay, he needs to go through 6 months of training, and to sell his devices.

QUOTE:
The unusual spelling of the film's title comes from a mural that Gardner sees on the wall outside the daycare facility his son attends. He complains to the owner of the daycare that "happiness" is incorrectly spelled as "happyness" and needs to be changed.

CHEAPER BY DOZEN

Cheaper by the Dozen is a 2003 American family comedy film which takes its title from the autobiographical book of the same name by Frank Bunker Gilbreth and Lillian Moller Gilbreth, but despite the title and the concept of a family with twelve children, the film bears no resemblance to the book nor its original film adaptation, although it is mentioned that the mother's maiden name is Gilbreth. The film was directed by Shawn Levy, narrated by Bonnie Hunt, and starring Steve Martin. The film was released on December 25, 2003 by 20th Century Fox, ultimately grossing just over $190 million worldwide.

This one also reminds me to my childhood because in my family we are 15 cousins and we spend all the Christmas and every summer together having fun, spending time with my grandmother , and I am feeling very proud of having the chance to be in my family.

Video with the song (I´m just a kid ) that becames very popular after this film.
