Ash Vs Evil Dead

Talking about new TV shows, here's one that's coming late this year: Ash Vs Evil Dead. For those of you who haven't heard of the Evil Dead they we're a  horror trilogy of the 80ies directed by Sam Raimi that got a great cult following. A TV show has been 100% confirmed and it will be produced written and produced by Raimi himself and it will star the original protagonist of the series Bruce Campbell. Here's a hint on what will be the plot:

"30 years after the events of Evil Dead, Ash is a loner, living a dull existence, still not able to come to grips with the events that started at the cabin. In the event of a deadite invasion Ash must attach his chainsaw and pick up his trusty boomstick one more time, all while finally coming to terms with his past."

For those of you who have never seen the original trilogy, I'm leaving you with some trailers of the movies(*warning* we're talking of horror films here):

Twin Peaks Season 3 announced!

Finally, after all the fans asking for more, David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Mulhola Drive...) has publicly announced that he will be writing and directing a new season of Twin Peaks epiodes that will air on 2016. For those of you who haven't heard of the show, Twin Peaks was a big hit on american TV 25 years ago. In the series, FBI agent Cooper tries to solve the grousome murder of a teenager: Laura Palmer. The intricate storyline, the onirical sequences, the strange mysterious and funny characters and the violence and terror where the key to this show's succes. I leave you with the season 3 trailer which left me with very high expectations.

Plans for a visit

Hi Alex,

I am glad you will be visiting us. My name is Enric and I live in Banyoles. Banyoles is a very small town near a lake so it’s the ideal place for all kinds of sports. My school is outside of town and it has different buildings, depending on the age of the students. I think you’ll be fine with all the teachers and classmates. On the afternoon there’s tons of things to do, I go to handball training and take some piano lessons.

Hope you enjoy your stay in Banyoles,

Enric

Noah

This is a big budget version of the Bible story adapted for cinema. Noah has visions of a flood and builds an ark to protect his family. With super CGI and great actors (like Emma Watson), the film is sure to be a hit. It will be directed by the great Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi, The Fountain). Don't miss it!

A cultural exchange

Hi John,

Nice to meet you, my name is Enric and I'm waiting for you to come to Banyoles in my house. I'm writing this letter to give you some information about me and where you're going to stay. I live in Banyoles with my parents, and my sister, Emma. We live in "Carrer Francesc Macià", in a condominium. Our apartment has got 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There's a garden with a swimming pool, but we share it with all the other neighbors.

My school is called "Escola Casa Nostra". The school is kind of close, so I go there by bike every day. My school is very big and has a wonderful alley with fields around, like an old college. My favourite subjects are Physical education and Technology. I want to do something in law or politics once I finish school. How about you? What are your favourite subjects? As extra activities, after school I play handball and I have piano lessons.

I have friends in and out of school. Our teachers are nice, so I think you'll enjoy your time in school. I am very busy during the weekdays, because I have to take many extracurricular activties.

On the weekends, I uswually play on some handball match; I do homework and meet my friends in the afternoon.

Write back soon and tell me about you, your family and where you live.

See you soon

Enric

The Surprise

Last Friday me, Mike and Joe were going to the cinema to see "El Mariachi". When it was my turn to pay my entrance, I realized that I had lost my wallet. Instead I had someone else's wallet in my pocket with the exact amount of money to pay one ticket. After a while I decided that I would return the wallet later. Just when I bought the ticket, people with cameras appeared from everywhere. It turns out it was just a set up for some reality show.
