Title: Love Actually
Length: 134 min
Summary:
If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you will find the "love actually is all around" This movie started with this sentence. There are seven episodes in this movie. All of things are started in the Heathrow airport in London. Also all stories concluded in the Airport.
Reaction:
I didn't like omnibus movie and I always thought that this kind of movies were boring. However after watching this movie, my stereotype was totally changed. This movie was really touched. The best scene in this movie is the relationship between Andrew Lincoln and Kiera Knightley. Andrew held papers in front her house on Christmas. He opened the paper with Christmas Carole. He expressed through the paper without speaking. He loved her but he couldn't, because she got married with his best friend. It is one of the perfect scenes that I have watched ever. I really recommend this movie if you feel sad during Christmas season.
Vocabulary:
sneaky - If you describe someone as sneaky, you disapprove of them because they do things secretly rather than openly.
Title: NBA Cleveland Cavaliers versus Toronto Raptors
Length: 170 min
Summary:
This is one of the expected games in December 10th. Cleveland Cavaliers are winning 8 games subsequently. And there is a king James, ‘LeBron James’ in Cleveland. Toronto didn’t play well at that time. Sometimes, their score gap was 25 points. It was a perfect game. As expected, James was crazy. He got 31 points alone. His play was like King. He overwhelmed Toronto players.
Reaction:
The main point was James LeBron. He was a monster. I cannot believe that he is just 22 years old. Toronto players tried to stop him, but it was impossible. He conquered the basketball court and the game. He was a conqueror. I really want to watch game between LA Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Pau Gasol versus James LeBron, the battle between best Power Forwards! Wow, it makes me exciting.
Casino Royale

Summary:
In his first mission James Bond has to stop Le Chiffre, a multimillionaire a banker to the world terrorist. In this new journey Bond will experience new things such as: love, hate, vengeance and hate. This movie describes the beginning of a legend, how James becomes Bond and how his name is now an icon in thriller spy movies.
Reaction:
Casino Royale is not the same Bond movies that we know. Is totally different, has a new fresh essence and brings a special fact that completes the James bond mysteries. I really enjoyed this movie; I just have to watch the sequel, Quantum of Solace.

Title : Pes 2009
Length : 3 hours
Summary:
This video game is very popular in Korea. It made from Japan, and it is just for play station. I played this game since 7 years ago. At that time, graphic was not good as much as now, but in developed when it release new version. There are a lot of announcement related with soccer. I always play this game with my friends.
Reaction:
Actually, soccer is famous in Korea. However I think America is not. Most American like football than soccer, but I don't know about football rules. By the way, in this game, announcer says like real soccer game. If you have background about soccer, you can enjoy this game better!
