The first movie .




Hey guys ! i watched a movie called Coach Carter. It was originally came out in 2005, is based on the true story of Ken Carter. Ken, who is played superbly by Samuel L. Jackson, runs a sporting-goods store in the neighbourhood. He was also approached to coach the local high school basketball team. As it turns out, coach Carter is somewhat of a legend at the school, and holds most of the records from his playing days.
As the movie opens, we watched the hopeless Richmond High School team floundering after finishing an abysmal 4-22 season. Ken Carter, a successful small business owner who was once a record setting basketball star at Richmond High, accepts the grief of a part-time coaching job for the munificent sum of $1,500 for the entire season. He immediately lays down the law to his new team of cut-ups and clowns, he wants them to sign a contract in order to play for him with rules that include: maintaining a 2.3 grade point average, showing up at all classes and sitting in the front row and wearing a coat and tie on game day. If anyone is late or talks back to him, everyone is punished by extra exercises. It's a tough regime that places kids and parents in open rebellion against him. Even the principal (Denise Dowse) thinks he's being too tough since these kids, she reasons, won't go to college or even graduate from high school, so basketball is all they have. However, things were not as easy as he expected. This is because the players team were in shambles, and while the players have talent, they were more interested in themselves than the team. They ignored classes, most of them are in danger of never graduating, and others even sell drugs to make a living. It’s hard to grow up in downtown Los Angeles.
Ken Carter comes in to coach the team and realizes he has his work cut out for him. But, creating a winning basketball team is the least of his worries. He is more interested in creating decent hard-working men who will have chances to go to college someday. He wants his player to success in life and matured.
Coach Carter’s motives are pure, but they are met with hostility from both his players and their families. Sports isn’t everything, that’s the message Coach Carter brings to the table. One man can really actually make a difference. But he has to be strict and brave even when talking to the players parent.
Of course the movie comes down to that deciding game. The last seconds are nail-biting. What’s going to happen? Are they going to win or lose? Well they lost the game against the state champions. It doesn’t matter anyway. The real victory is in what happens to the players and the community after the basketball season is over.
Rich what ? RICHMOND !

lady ashley .


After spending about 2 hours of watching Australia, i thought that we were going to do the same thing as we did last time which was plot. However to make it interesting, Ms. Dil told us to do characteristic on the character that we like. At first i wanted to choose Nullah but it seems that i prefered Lady Ashley. It was Nicole Kidman stars as Sarah Ashley. Lady Ashley was young and naive, was an uppercrust British believed that her husband was cheating on her. When Lady Sarah Ashley was riding horses, a car pulls up with a man trying to convince Sarah not to sell Faraway Downs. While walking through a stable of horses, the man insisted they could use the money. She goes to ride on another horse, finally telling the man that she will go down to Australia and sell it herself.
As the female leading character surely it must be beautiful. About this time,Drover was in a bar trying to get a drink while a man teases him about who he hang out with because he’s not racist. He told his main man, Magarri, to wave his hat when the woman shows up. He then proceeds to get in a fight with most of the bar. Sarah arrived, and walked down the wharf and ignored the women who were greeting her while the men helps her carrying the luggage of her. At that time she was gorgeous.
Besides that, Lady Ashley was a brave woman. She was braved to sack Fletcher who was in charge of her husband business. In the morning, when Sarah was getting ready to leave, Fletcher came to her. Sarah asked about the cattle, saying that Nullah told her about it. He turns around, not so happy, asked Nullah to come to him. His mother and grandmother tell him in their native language to go to him. He does, and Fletcher asks again if he saw anything, also telling him quietly that if he says anything, he will beat his mother. Nullah can’t say anything more, and Sarah thought that maybe he was mistaken. Fletcher hands him off to the cook. But Nullah gets away and runs up to the windmill, which Fletcher said had not run in years. Nullah climbs up the tower and takes out a pin, and the wheel springs to life, turning on a faucet. Nullah yells that Fletcher lies. Fletcher runs after Nullah and hits him, and in the process, hits Nullahs mother and grandmother. Sarah runs over and smacks Fletcher with a riding crop, and fires him on the spot. Fletcher tells her she will not have anybody for the Drive in the morning. But she never regret it.

Stupid ?

So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it push it around
I guess you build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down


some of the lyrics from, stupid boy by keith urban

well, its a good song to listen as the message is related to all of us .
the song told us that we should always appreciate what we have now.
sometimes things can get a little bit complicated but we have to face it .
we just cant escape from it because later we might regret it .
ok guys, hopefully we aren't the stupid boy .
anyway, thanks ms Dil for the song !
