One Republic , born in 2004, due to the combination of Ryan Tedder, the lead singer, with his friend Zach Filking on guitar, who are joining Eddie Fisher on drums, Brent Kutzler on bass and Drew Brown on guitar.The success of One Republic began during the summer of2006. One year later they released their début album ''Dreaming Out Loud'' produced by Greg Wells. From this album came off their best item called ''Apologize''

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'm going to tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don' need nother perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'n gonna give all my secrets away
So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away

THE PRESTIGE - one of my favourite movies

THE PRESTIGE

Christopher Nolan is one of my favourite filmmakers. I like him because not only does he direct films, but he is also a writer. He has written many brilliant films like : The Prestige and Inception.( my other favorite movie)

I could talk about the two, but I think that The Prestige is less known than Inception and I think that it is worth that people see it.

So I want to talk about this class of film that after seeing them, you will realize that everything fits and everything makes sense. I want to talk about The prestige.

There are many famous actors in this film. The main ones are: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Scarlett Johansson.

The movie is about two young magicians who begin working in London in the late nineteenth century. One of them is Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), determined and sophisticated. And the other is Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), who is a real magician with skills but he is not able to prove it in front of the public. The two friends work together but after a catastrophic accident, which killed Angier´s wife, their relationship turns into enmity and hatred.

I love this film because you have to be attentive to all details, and you have to concentrate because the film jumps in time and you could lose the thread of history.

So I hope that when you see this film you will enjoy as much or more than I did

My favourite film is...

CHICAGO
Chicago was made in USA in 2002 by Rob Marshall. It is a musical film that tells a story taking place in Chicago, where Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a cabaret artist and one night she begins her show and Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) who wants to be famous, is in the public. Roxie wants to became as Velma Kelly but this will cause them to fall from the top and to go to prison due to different charges for murders. There she meets with the legendary lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere) who will take the Roxie's case. Roxie's career shines but Kelly will do something to change it.

My favourite scenes from the movie are the tango in the prison and the show "all that jazz".
This is one of my favourite film because Chicago has many dances, shows and it shows us that sometimes our dreams can't be so perfect as we think.

Tre metri sopra il cielo

This film is based on the book ''Tre metri sopra il cielo'' which write by Federico Moccia.
First I read the book and then I saw the film, but the Italian film because it's very beutiful and the film follows the script of the book. I don't like the Spanish film because the actors are very bad and it's a cheap copy of the Italian film.
I like ''Tre metri sopra il cielo'' because I like romantic stories and at the same time it's a real story.
The actors are very good and the music is very nice.

SOME INFORMATION:
Director: Luca Lucini
Producer: Marco Chimenz
Screenplay by: Federico Moccia ( novel )
Teresa Ciabatti and Federico Moccia ( screenplay )
Starring: Riccardo Scamarcio ( Step )
Katy Louise Saunders ( Baby )
Maria Chiara Augenti ( Pallina )
Ivan Bacchi ( Paolo )
Mauro Meconi ( Pollo )
Giulia Gorietti ( Daniela )
Music by: Francesco De Luca and Alessandro Forti
Release date: 2004
Story:
In Rome, as in any other city in the world, young people want to fly, looking for walking ''three metres about the sky''. Girls like Baby strive in school, talk about the latest in fashion and prepare to find the love of their lives, the boys as Step prefer the speed, violence, risk, motorcycles and camaraderie of the bands but all of them are involved in life as if each second were the last.

They belong to different worlds, they want different things but they have something in common: the love that will float and hold them, love them will find and change: they'll become more savage;they'll become more soft. While, down there, the real life is demanding.
