Flowers beside the street



Near to my neighborhood, there is a beautiful street. Two lines of trees with white flowers stand on each side of this street. What a pleasant scene! But it is a pity that I don't know what name this flower is.

"Seraphim Falls" ( movie)

A very good western movie released in 2007.

At the end of Civil War, Carver (Liam Neeson) lost his wife and kids. He then hired four men to hunt Captain Gideon (Pierce Brosnan) in revenge. They chased him from Ruby Mountains to the desert of New Mexico. Smart Gideon got rid of the hunters one by one, and finally he faced Carver. Gideon defeated Carver twice, but spared his life. Eventually, Carver forgave Gideon.

This amazing movie shows us beautiful nature scenes, forgiveness, courage, uprightness and cruelty of war as well.

"Inkheart"(movie)

This is a new movie released recently. It stars Brendan Fraser who is the main actor in "Mummy". Brendan has an amazing talent to bring characters out of books in "Inkheart".

I watch this movie because of Brendan. It seems this is a good adventure movie at the beginning. But just one third of the film passes, I leave the screen. I have to say this movie is very boring.
