week 4 task 3: RATATOUILLE


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYUjNQrokeg
The movie is funny because the main charactor is a mouse. The mouse's nose is so strong that it can recognize the poison and recognize the food if it's taste good. The mouse is interested in cooking, in addition, it really do well in cooking. In an accident, the mouse once help a boy who is a son of a great cook, then the mouse make more delicious food for peaple, furthermore, they enjoy the food very much.
I like this movie because its wonderful music, the cute charactors ,the variety face and the interesting story. I think the most interesting part of the movie is the time when the mouse and its big family help the boy to make the important meal, the mouse's father divide the family into team 1 ,team 2, team 3.... Some chop , some catch the health officer, some boil.... In a word, "every one can cook".

week 4 task 2:Our Changing Climate


The video is talk about the globle warming. We can see more and more CO2 are put into the atmosphere. And the climate model show the globle changing fast. The vegetables and animals may be driven to the north. That means the natural disease will be bring to the north and overall greater human health risks.
If the climate changes so fast, animals will not catch up with the changes and many species will be extinct.

week 4 task 1:wanted

The movie is adapted from a comic. It is a action movie.
The movie is about a man whose father is a killer. He was taken in to a community called fratenity. Fratenity kill the persons whose name appear on the cloth saw by the sewwing machine. Fratenity took him to kill his father without telling the truth to him.
When the hero was trained strong enough and kill his father.He knew the truth.The truth is the lead of the fratenity whose name come up cheat all the people.Then the hero strike the fratenity and kill him....

I like this movie because there are sevaral intereting things. First, the bullets can fly in a flexual way instead of a straigh way. It is creative and looks cool. Second, the hero can make his heartbeat 400 beat per minute to help him act more quickly. We can see the same thing in MATRIX which is my favorit movie. Consequently, I like this one.

bullets - the balls are used in guns to shoot
