Film review

Movie: Expendables 2 - Back for war

Main actors: Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Yu Nan, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris.

Age limit: Sixteen

Genre: Action and adventure

Violence, blood and revenge for a murdered friend.

If you want to see one of the best action films ever made you should definitely choose this one. In Expendables 2 you will see the best actors and an amazing storyline. The movie will take you into a wonderful journey through battles, trials and turmoil.

In the beginning Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) gets an offer that he can't refuse. This offer comes from Churh (Bruce Willis). This job should be a piece of cake for Barney and his group - and it is nice and neat until everything goes wrong and one of their own men dies suddenly and very violently. 

Before nobody even notices the group is in the middle of huge problems. When the group signed up for the mission they weren't ready for that. The story is interesting and rather complicated; it keeps you awake every minute it takes. I could compare Expendables to Titanic. I mean that to me Expendables is as impressive as Titanic is to many others. 

This movie is definitely one of my favorites because the actors really know how to do their jobs and the movie effects are amazing!

I started to watch Expendables because I knew that Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jason Statham would be in this movie. If I may suggest: watch the part one also! It's as amazing as the second one.

FAT THURSDAY

Fat Thursday"

Fat Thursday is a name of a traditional, old-Polish custom. It's the last Thursday of carnival - the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. On that day majority of Polish people like to eat fried cakes. Donuts and crispcakes are the most favourite.

Nowadays people rather rarely prepare self-made donuts at home. We can see everywhere long queue in front of cake shops, bakeries or groceries on that day. Everybody wants to buy many delicious donuts or crispcakes.

In Poland on Fat Thursday the more donuts you eat the better. Even there are a special competitions about eating donuts. For exemple "How many donuts are you able to eat in one minute?".

Everybody likes to celebrate that day together. People treat others to donuts everywhere, for exemple at school, at home, at work. It is the most appetizing tradition in whole year.

First I got up and ate breakfast, then I went to my helicopter and I flew to my Island. On my island I shot to animals with my bow. Later I sold the animal that I had killed. Next I drive my 1990 harley to the neighboring island. My neighbor was Hugh Jackmann. (he is my friend) when I reached his island we played billard and I drank cola but he drank pepsi. When we finished we went kart racing. He was good but I was better and I win. At the end of the day he gave me jet puck. I said good bye and I went on my Island to bed.

This story started when I was 7 years old. I was a very fearful kid.

One day my mum bought a hamster for me, but it didn’t have any wheel in the cage.

A few weeks later, my nanny – Zosia gave me a present for my hamster. It was an old wheel. When I put into the cage, hamster didn’t know how to use it.

In the evening, I heard something strange. It was a sound which I’d never heard earlier. There was nobody at home, but this sound was in my room. I was really scared. I thought – ‘ghost, thief or… zombie!’. But… I wanted to live!

I walked into the room and… I saw my hamster in the wheel! I felt so relived.

I got a little scared when I came to the breeder door and I heard barking when I went to see the puppies.I was going to cancel the whole thing, fortunately, I gathered my courage and went inside the house. In the house I was greeted by ten small speckled dog, they were wonderful! I took my shoes off and I started to play with the puppies.I been sure that I get a dog, but still I was surprised when a breeder asked me witch puppy I would want.The puppies were named Asterix and Obelix comic book characters, so the name does not help my decision.When I was playing with the dogs for a short time, I realized the small, pale puppy named Asterix is ​​the proper one. Asterix play with my scarf. I went to get him back the scarf, and looked at the puppy's beautiful face. Puppy raised his eyes from behind a scarf, so I was able to clearly see the puppy round brown eyes. I raised a puppy in my arms and gently touched  it. I was quite sure that Asterix was going to be my dog. I looked at the clock and understood that I had to leave, I sed the goodbye to the Asterix. My mother agreed with the breeder that Asterix would move in our home after a week.

The week passed painfully slowly, and finally half of the day, I would not have the patience to wait. The formalities taken care of, we put Asterix for the first time in its own collar on and put a new leash on it. We walked slowly out of the house and outside I realized something, I was finally a dog owner.

It was a beautiful day of summer holiday. My name is Carl but people call me CJ. I was with my best friend, Ryder. We both live in Los Angeles and well, you know, it’s a big city. It was hot and we had nothing much to do. Just a regular boring day of summer vacation. We decided to go cycling around the city. It was really hot, i felt like i was melting. It was way too hot to go on anymore. We stopped near a mall. We had to get something to drink.

  We actually didn’t notice anything before this, but there were no traffic. And it was really weird in a big city. But more interesting was that there was no people in the mall. It was quiet. We were so thirsty, we didn’t focus on that.

  We continued walking around and we found a vending machine. Stores were open, but we saw no workers in there so we just bought our drinks from that vending machine. I bought some cola, and Ryder bought a water bottle. We walked out of the mall and the parking lot was empty. It was really, really weird. We hopped on our bikes and started cycling.

  It was really creepy. No car sounds, no people, nothing. We cycled and cycle, still nothing. “Hey Ryder, what should we do now”, i asked. Ryder wasn’t there. There was no one. Just me. I was really confused. I started to cycle back, but i still didn’t find anyone. I cycled to a bridge and i stopped there to think something. Suddenly, it came dark. It came dark because a huge shadows came over me. I turned around and i saw a huuuge…. Thing. I didn’t know what it was. I just thought the best thing to do would be started to cycle away. Fast. I went back to downtown. I heard car sounds, but i didn’t see anyone. Then i crashed my bike. There was something invisible. When i got up, everything was like before. Lots of people, nothing in the river, everything was normal. “Ehh Carl, are you ok?” Ryder asked. “Well i think so, but what happened?... From where these people came back?” I answered. “Well, they have been here all the time…” Ryder said. Then i remembered i drank milk that was out of date in the morning.

Hi. My name is Alice. Im just a normal, 14 year old girl. I have short brown hair, dark, brown shining eyes and im really thin. But still, I dont have any friend. I would really like to have even one, not so good friend. Thats why I really have to tell about one, really wonderful day...
   I was dreaming on my window, when suddenly I saw a bird coming to my room. It was really confusing, but then that bird did turn into a human. It was like, 14 year old girl, long blond hair, blue eyes and she was taller than me. She smiled to me and said '' Hello, my name is Cleena. Please, come with me''. I was so confused, but I did follow her. She jumped to my rooms mirror, and pulled me with her. We did fall really long time, but it was so beautiful to watch all stuff passing me. Butterflys, mirrors, carousels, lollipops, everything I really liked. Then I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I saw a beautiful forest at front of me. Full of light and beautiful flowers. Little squirrels and raccoons runned past to my feets. I walked around a bit, and then I saw Cleena again. She had a beautiful dress and she smiled to me and asked me to come with her again. I walked up to her, and I saw that I had a beautiful dress too. It made me so happy. '' Hey watch this ! '', Cleena said and two golden bird did fly to her hand. Then she throwed them to air and those tiny birds turned into a beautiful, big birds. First I did see only bright light.  '' Come on! '' Cleena said and jumped to her bird. I did the same, and those wonderful, red and yellow birds did flew up to the sky. I was at the same time scared and excited. I loved it. But then we saw a cliff, and those birds left us at  there. We waved to them, when they did fly away. '' Wasnt it funny? '', Cleena asked. I smiled to her. '' It was ! '', I answered and we did continue our trip. '' But that wasnt all!'', Cleena said and two pegasos did ride to us. Blue and pink. I climbed to the blue one, and Cleena tooked the other one. Then we did ride together, side by side. Sky was so blue and grass so green. I just smiled, because I was so happy, in a weird world with a new friend. Then we did reach a end of the green land. We left the pegasos, and they did run away together. '' Thank you, I did have really fun today!'', I thanked Cleena and hugged her. '' Its nothing. Remember, you can come back always to here and have fun with me if you want'', Cleena said and smiled to me again. She had a beautiful, warm smile. '' Oh, and one thing!'', Cleena said and crabbed my hand. She gave me a jewel, a beautiful, full of red, yellow, pink and blue diamonds. It shined with the sun. '' Thank you so much! '' I said and then closed my eyes. When I opened them, I was at home watching out of my window. First I did feel sad, but then I watched to my hand. That same jewel full of colorful diamond did decorate my hand. I smiled so happily. Now I had a friend. Just for me.
