What's on your mind if I say "Les Miserables"? Maybe you will say french, musical drama, good show, boring and etc. Okay that's what on my mind actually. When first time I knew about this movie, I thought maybe this movie gonna be boring because it's musical movie. I don't really like about musical movies, that's not my favorite but when I checked, this movie got positive comments and ratings so I decided to watch this movie.

The movie is about ex-convict Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is set on the path of righteousness by the bishop, turning into a much beloved factory owner and mayor of a small town, where he crosses paths with Inspector Javert (Russel Crow), who knew Valjean as a prisoner and whose unyielding law and order attitude would seem to spell doom for the parole breaker, if he is discovered. Along comes desperate single mother and newly-minted prostitute Fantine (Anne Hathaway) to put the relationship between the two men on edge, while also giving Valjean a chance to prove his goodness. Valjean is outed and has to keep ahead of Javert while protecting the now-dead Fantine's daughter Cosette a she grows into womanhood, in the form of Amanda Seyfried. By this point, it's Paris, 1823, and Cosette falls in love with Marius, the leader of a group of student revolutionaries, who is himself being actively hunted by Javert, which throws the cop and Valjean back into each other's lives.

The one that got me interested in this movie is the line of the actors and actresses that have high quality as Hugh Jackman, Russell Crow, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen (the last 2 names make the movie more entertaining with their acting).

Unlike other musical movies, "Les Miserables" is filled with conversation also sung, so throughout the movie there is no "normal" conversation. One more thing, if you love poetry, this movie is highly recommended because the words were so poetic.

It's an extremely powerful movie that evokes emotion. If you don't want to cry don't go. If you go and don't cry you have no heart. If you want to be amazed by the power of a movie spend two and a half hours with this outstanding cinematic achievement.

Do you remember about Tsunami Disaster in South-East Asia on 2004?
The Impossible is based on a true story of a Spanish family (transformed here as a British one) trapped in Thailand by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami as they were taking a christmas vacation at a Thailand resort.

The Bennetts are a well-off family living in Japan. Henry (Ewan McGregor) is a businessman whose job is perhaps in jeopardy and his wife Maria (Naomi Watts) is a doctor who has taken some time off to raise their three sons, Lucas (Tom Holland), Thomas (Samuel Joslin), and Simon (Oaklee Pendergast). They try to set all family tensions aside as they take a family vacation to an exclusive resort in Thailand for Christmas. When spending some time poolside one afternoon, the tsunami suddenly strikes, leaving a severely injured Maria with Lucas, and Henry with the youngest two children. The film nearly occurs in two sections: the first of Maria and Lucas’ travails as Maria’s health starts to decline, and the second as Henry tirelessly searches for his wife and eldest son.

The movie was actually very good, a simple search story made gargantuan by the amazing effects used to portray the actual Tsunami, it literally comes at such a speed and power that leaves you in bewilderment and gives you a better idea that news reports of what it was all like at the time. A wonderful true story, some great actors, great music and shooting makes it a very good dramatic movie. The child actors are so very talented, and really make this film so real that you forget you are watching a movie and really live this tragedy out with them. I had goosebumps & has been able to make me shed a tear while watching it.The movie contains quite a bit of action to keep you occupied and heart warming emotional moments to smile and weep.

The movie’s special effects are also executed to an uneven effect. There are many moments, especially an early shot of the back of Maria’s leg completely ripped open and hanging off, when the realistic-looking gore is needed. For instance, Maria is strong and soldiering on despite her injury. However, there is another moment of people vomiting blood in a hospital that seems unnecessary – like something out of a horror movie. Bayona needed to curtail his horror skill set and remember that this is a suspenseful drama that doesn’t need moments of gore to work.

Bayona achieves a rare sense of balance between the big and the powerful as well as the small and the intimate in the family's survival against impossible odds, no doubt the inspiration for the title. Their situation was heartbreaking, their courage in the face of it humbling. It is the kind of ode to the human spirit that you hope comes along, and not just during the holiday season.

This movie made me think back upon eight years ago, when this disaster happened in Aceh, Indonesia. This was a very heartbreaking event.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good realistic movie to watch.

Actually nothing is going to happen tomorrow so just live your life like its a normal day. Just people panicking over little stuff. NOBODY in this world who knows about when end of the world. You die when you are supposed to die, not when some person tells you to going to.

The Mayan believed that according to their calendar, on December 21 the world will come to an end. This is not the first time apocalypse issue appeared. Remember about Y2K on 1 January 2000 or The Second Big Bang on 23 November 2009? There is nothing happened, right?

In fact, the end of life in the Mayan calendar is the turn of an era or epoch. The Mayan believed if every 5,000 years there will be a new era. It is almost identical to welcome the new millennium is often done by our society.

The Mayans actually did not believe the end of the world. They assume if will be the end of life, then there will be a new life. They also believe that the new life will lead them to age with higher consciousness, peace that are more substantial, and understanding of the creatures on this planet will be increased.

Modern Mayans say, that the interpretation of Western archaeologists overestimated. Mayan leaders, Apolinario Chile Pixtun and Mexican archaeologist Guillermo Bernal, both note that "apocalypse" is a Western concept that has no similarities with Mayan beliefs.

According to Wikipedia, the ancient Mayans calendar that has a very systematic and is used to describe the time, the cycle, the movement of celestial bodies, and other harvests. The ancient Mayans also explained that on Friday, December 21, 2012 later position of the earth, the sun and the center of the Milky Way will align in one line.

So, whether right or not the Mayans prophecy remains back to each individual. If you think apocalypse is something that secret of God and only he who knows, there is no need to worry. Everything remains returned to his will and humans just need to do what is commanded and avoid forbidding.
